Backtight
Jaheim Lyrics

Looking back at all I put you through
Reflecting on the past and recognizing the difficult situations caused by my actions

Too much of a thug nigga to tell you I love you
Being too focused on maintaining a tough image to express my love for you

I know I made mistakes
Acknowledging that I have made errors in the past

Here hoping and prayin that it aintoo late
Expressing a desire to make amends and hoping it is not too late to do so

Thought I had my game tight
Believing that I had everything under control

Thought I had it locked down, knowing shit wasn't right
Feeling like I had a handle on things, but knowing deep down that something was off

Now you want to blow
Realizing that my partner is fed up with the situation and wants to leave

Before I let you go
Not wanting to lose my partner and wanting to make things right

Something you just gotta know
There is something important that I need to communicate

Ain't nothing stopping me from getting backtight with you
Expressing a strong desire to regain a close relationship with my partner

Go head and trip you got the right to
Acknowledging that my partner has the right to be upset and frustrated

If I gotta roll up my sleeves and fight for you
Being willing to put in extra effort and fight for my relationship

I'll stand outside in the rain all night for you
Demonstrating a willingness to endure hardship in order to prove my commitment

Three months three weeks two days its the same shit
Having a history of repeating the same negative behaviors and patterns

Shorty she ain't haven't it
My partner is not willing to put up with my behavior anymore

Back then I wasn't serious
Admitting to not being fully invested or serious in the relationship before

Makin' so much paper kept me curious
Being distracted by making money and wanting to always chase more

Chickens cluckin' everywhere I didn't care
Being surrounded by other women and not caring about the impact on my relationship

Thinking to myself that you'd always be here
Assuming that my partner would always stay with me despite my behavior

Instead of makin' love to you lady
Failing to prioritize intimacy and connection with my partner

I would rather be out pushin' my Mercedes
Valuing material possessions and status over my relationship

If the sun was to fall and the stars was to lose their shine
Expressing the depth of my commitment and willingness to endure hardship

Id be content with it all as long as your by my sidegirl
Feeling satisfied in life as long as my partner is with me

Through the good through the bad through it all gonna need your back
Requesting my partner's support and loyalty through all circumstances

Ill always be with you just want to please you
Assuring my partner of my commitment and desire to make them happy
