Problems
Lil' Wayne Feat. Rabb Lyrics

(Jealousy yeah) I'm sorry (oh)
Apologizing for his mistakes caused by jealousy

(Jealousy yeah)I mean it too (ooh)
Genuinely sorry for his actions

(Jealousy yeah)let me talk to you (oh)
Wants to have a conversation about their problems

(Jealousy yeah)Know what I'm sayin'?
Asking if they understand where he's coming from

(Jealousy yeah) tell you what it was all about maybe (ooh)
Offering to explain the reason behind his jealousy

(Jealousy yeah)
Repeating the theme of the song - that their problems stem from jealousy

We was in love it had to be the (Jealousy yeah, oh)
His jealousy caused problems in their relationship despite their love

That had me buggin' all for nohtin' (Jealousy, yeah ooh)
His jealousy caused him to worry over nothing

Now I'm alone because of (Jealousy, yeah ooh)
His jealousy caused their breakup and now he's alone

I'm sorry man, oh
Continuing to express his apology

Baby, all I wanted was a chance with you (yeah)
He only wanted the opportunity to be with her

Little love, little dance, romance with you
Describing the kind of relationship he envisioned with her

Shit I had big plans for you (ooh)
He had high hopes for their future together

Swear to God I never meant to put my hands on you
He never intended to be violent towards her

That's not somethin' that a man would do (oh)
Acknowledging that his behavior was unacceptable

That's not somethin' I had plans to do, I had plans to move
He didn't plan to harm her and had other plans for their future

Take you with me, give the Coupe (yeah)
He wanted to take her with him and provide for her

Give you the shoes, instead I was hearin' the news
He wanted to provide for her materially, but heard rumors about her behavior

You was out there buggin', fuckin' (yeah)
She was behaving recklessly

Doin' your dirt when, I was in the studio workin' (shit)
Highlighting the difference in their lifestyles and priorities

(shit) shit, I'm tryna make music that's perfect (ooh)
He is focused on his career and making the best music possible

Instead I gotta hear you out there foolin' and flirtin'
Instead of focusing on her own goals, she was out causing problems

You and your friends got a bad reputation already
He and others already had a negative perception of her and her friends

If I'm not mistaken already uh
Reiterating this point of his negative perception

But I gotta 'pologize to your mother and father (yeah)
Acknowledging that his actions affected her family as well

Shoulda never put my hands on your daughter
Conceding that he was wrong to be violent towards her

But I ain't askin' you to drop no charges, shit
He is taking responsibility for his actions and won't try to avoid the consequences

I did what I did, deserve the consequence
He accepts the punishment for his behavior

I can't see myself copping a plea (ooh)
He won't try to bargain for a lesser sentence

To one of these niggas who bleed the same as me
He won't plead guilty to someone who is not in his community

I'm a G, I will cock and squeeze
He maintains his street credibility and is willing to defend himself

The same as he, take it to the same degree, please
He expects the same actions from his peers

So let's leave it alone (yeah), we don't need this at home
Advising to move on and not let this drama disrupt their lives

Especially all over some fuckin'
Emphasizing that this drama is not worth it

Jealousy, yeah) yeah that's what it's about right? (oh)
Asking if their problems really stem from jealousy

(Jealousy, yeah) I never meant to touch you (ooh)
Reiterating that he never intended to be violent towards her

Uh, it was the (Jealousy,yeah) (ooh)
Confirming that jealousy caused their problems

I was buggin', high (Jealousy, yeah)(oh)
His jealousy caused him to be paranoid

Whoa (Jealousy, yeah)(ooh)
Emphasizing the impact of jealousy

God forgive me my (Jealousy, yeah)(oh)
Asking for forgiveness for his actions caused by jealousy

If I could take it back (Jealousy yeah)
Wishing he could undo his mistakes

You know I would, yes I would, yes I would (ooh)
Reiterating his regret

Shit, now I don't know what made me..lift my hand up (yeah)
Reflecting on his violent outburst

Swing it at you, I musta' been crazy
Acknowledging the severity of his actions

Musta' been high, twisted off hazy
Speculating about what contributed to his behavior

Fuck am I doing?, this is my baby
Realizing that he is harming someone he cares about

And now I'm feeling like Kane from Menace II Society (oh)
Feeling like a character from the movie Menace II Society, who is disillusioned and conflicted

Know your brothers wanna come back and find me
Acknowledging that her family members may be angry with him

Now I'm riding with my riders beside of me
He needs to protect himself from retribution

Can't get caught slippin' so they riding beside of me
He is afraid of being attacked and has to take precautions

And Cam told me not to fuck with you (yeah)
His friends warned him about her negative influences

He told me you known, the blocks corrupted you
His friends warned him that she is involved in criminal activity

I told him nah, I had it locked, threw cuffs on you,
He originally defended her despite his friends' warnings

Plus I had lots of love for you, huh
His affection for her clouded his judgement

So I'm stickin' with my heart (oh), that's my nigga to the heart
He will always choose his emotions over logic

Now look, I'm sittin' in the dark (yeah)
He is facing the consequences of his actions

Facin' a charge, gotta go sit up in a court
He will have to go through the legal process

All because, I was stupid and dumb
Acknowledging that he made a mistake

Shoulda never went through it with hun, shit
Regretting his decision to date her

But to this day, I never knew this would come (ooh)
Reflecting that he never imagined this outcome

I never thought that I would go through this with hun, no
He never expected to face these challenges with her

The one I wanted to marry, wanted to carry my baby through life,
Describing his aspirations for their future

Maybe this life, we can't be together
Their problems may be too big to overcome

Can't see together (yeah), can't see each other
They can't envision being together without disagreements

Don't need each other, won't be together
The relationship has run its course

Jealousy, yeah
Once again emphasizing the source of their problems

Oh, jealousy yeah ooh,
Continuing to reflect on the theme of jealousy

Damn, why did we have to go through this (Jealousy yeah)(oh)
Expressing frustration about the situation

And its all because of this (Jealousy, yeah)(ooh)
Blaming their problems on jealousy

I admit I was (Jealousy, yeah,)(oh)
Continuing to admit the role of jealousy

Jealousy, yeah (ooh)
Closing with a final repetition of the theme

Uh, you was playin' them games too
Acknowledging that she also engaged in negative behavior

Sayin' them names too
Referring to her involvement with other men
