Freeze
LL Cool J & Lyfe Jennings Lyrics

I know I said I would roll with you
I previously promised to commit to a relationship with you.

Put my lifestyle on hold for you
I planned to make sacrifices in my life for you.

All them sweet things that I told you
I said a lot of romantic things to you in the past.

This conversation is overdue
We need to have an honest conversation about our relationship.

Freeze!
Pause or stop this discussion.

Getting too wild to respect the vow
I am too restless to be faithful and commit to our relationship.

I just ain't ready to settle down
I am not prepared to commit to a long-term relationship.

My name too big in the ghetto now
My reputation in our community is a hindrance to our relationship.

Feels like I'm ready when I'm holding you
Being in your arms creates the illusion that I am ready to commit.

But it's so many honey's what I'm supposed to do?
There are many other people I am attracted to and do not know what to do.

Keep sending them apology notes to you?
Should I keep apologizing to you for my behavior?

All I need is for you to freeze
I need you to stop pressuring me to commit for now.

This is hard on me
I am struggling with my feelings and decision-making.

I don't wanna leave
I care about you and do not want to sever our relationship.

But in the mean time take back the keys and
Please take back the keys to my place for now until I can figure things out.

Don't go
Please do not leave me.

Just freeze!
Please pause everything and give me some space to figure things out.

I know girl it's a lot to ask!
I acknowledge that this is a difficult request to make of you.

Tell me what other choice I have
I do not know what else to do in this situation.

When you love someone reach back
Please be patient and wait for me to come back to you when I am ready.

Why I gotta do this?
I am questioning why I am acting this way and cannot figure it out.

I ain't sure
I am uncertain about my feelings and actions.

Why I gotta wild out?
Why am I acting recklessly and irresponsibly?

Iono
I do not know.

I know how it feels
I have experienced these feelings before.

I been hurt before
I have been emotionally wounded in the past.

I know you disappointed you expected more
I understand that I am not meeting your expectations and that is disappointing.

I'm loosing a good one and that's fo'sho
I am about to lose a valuable partner and recognize that fact.

I be tryina fight but it calls me yo
I am trying to resist the urge to act upon my desires, but it is difficult.

Please don't change the locks on tha door
Please do not lock me out of your life completely.

Quit cryin' 'cause it ain't yo fault
Stop crying because our relationship problems are not your fault.

Blame it on the streets of New York
My behavior is influenced by the environment I grew up in.

Young L gotta walk this walk girl
I need to navigate my own journey and figure things out for myself.

I know it's rough but I need your support
I need you to be there for me during this difficult time.

You said it all last time that we fought
You have voiced your concerns before during our arguments.

So don't talk baby hold that thought and
Please stop talking for now and let me think things through.

I mean listen, I like you
I genuinely have feelings for you.

It's not like I forgot about you
I have not forgotten about you even though I am struggling with commitment.

Know what I'm sayin
Do you understand what I am trying to tell you?

I just gotta get this out of my system
I need to work through these emotions and impulses first.

Knowhadimean?
Do you know what I mean?

Iono if I'm ready for a relationship
I am uncertain if I am prepared to commit fully to a relationship right now.

You know what I'm sayin
Do you understand what I am trying to say?

Matter of fact I promise you
I make a promise to you that we will be together in the future.

But for right now I just need you to
For now, I need you to give me some space and time to figure things out.

When I become a better man
After I have matured and figured things out, we can move forward in our relationship.
