The Best Thing
Electric Youth Lyrics

I mean Usher is this what it come to man
Is this really what we're doing now, following in Usher's footsteps?

This is how we gon' do it
This is the way we're going to live our lives now.

I'm making grass grow baby, ya know
I'm trying to grow and nurture something, just like a seed becoming a plant.

Seeds become plants Boys become men Want we gon' do
Just like seeds that become plants and boys that grow into men, what are we going to do to grow and mature?

Wrapped around our girls like pashminas
We keep our girls close and intimate, like how pashminas are worn around the neck.

Whats my demeanor
What is my behavior or attitude like?

The grass is always greener on the other side
People often believe that everything is better somewhere else, even if it's not true.

To think of I cant give her a ring up
It hurts to think that I couldn't even propose to her.

I couldn't give a fuck I could I give a finger
I don't care at all or I'll even give her the finger, but deep down it hurts.

Let alone half baths and closets So claustrophobic if there were close objects
I can't even think about sharing a living space and feeling confined, it gives me anxiety.

Now its sort of like two door garages Its like two broads minagin'
Now it feels manageable, like living with two girlfriends and making it work.

Your the best mama!
You're the best thing that's ever happened to me.

Is there any chance That you remember me being any more than just a horrible man
Do you remember any of the good times we had, even though I acted terribly?

And would you consider Pullin' this trigger And taking a second shot at romance
Would you be willing to try and give our relationship another chance?

Oh Babe I want the days when you were my girl And I was your man Know I took you for granted
I miss the days when we were together and I realize now how much I took you for granted.

But it wasn't until now I see how much I miss you Girl I'm sorry that I ran the streets acting like a damn fool, yeah But for once, here goes the truth
I'm sorry for how I acted and for not realizing how much I miss you. Here is the truth.

I can't be fake I can't be phonie Acting all hard thats the niggas thats lonely
I can't pretend to be someone I'm not, acting tough just because I'm lonely.

I tried to flex but I confess that when you left you took the very best thing The best things that ever happened to me You took my best thing The best thing that I ever seen You took the best thing that I ever seen You took the, the best thing that I ever had And now all I feel is stress cause when you left you took the very best
I tried to show off and act like I was better without you, but the truth is you were the best thing that ever happened to me and I feel stressed now that you're gone.

Remember Mimi or Vita, remember Isha or Eva I ain't got em no more, hey yes Niomi or Jenny, the same outcome is chillin' Girl, I let em all go
I remember all the other girls I thought were important, but I let them all go.

No more trickin' and kissin' miscellaneous chicks Acting like a jerk, woman I been to church And I talked to the bishop and he wanted me to share this with ya How much I miss you
I'm done playing around with random girls and acting like a jerk. I've even talked to my bishop about how much I miss you.

Mama tried to told me Hovie Hov better slow it down You gon' lose your best thing If you keep gettin' round Like PAC needed pot When you old to hold you down Ma forever young was forever numb Sorry states are sorry done Your million and all of them All of em was funny time It wasn't you it was him School me once school me twice Three times and I was dumb Now its so plant the seed in me I got the one Your the best mama!
My mother tried to warn me that I would lose you if I didn't slow down. Even Tupac needed someone to hold him down when he was getting older. My mother wanted to stay young forever, but she was numb to the world. Sorry states can't be undone. I had many women, but they were all just temporary. It wasn't your fault, it was mine. I learned the hard way that I had the best thing with you. Now I understand and want to grow and change with you. You're the best thing that's ever happened to me.
