Sean Paul ft. Neyo & Lil Flip & Busta & Lil Kim & Massari Ryan & Leslie & Chris Brown & Ying Yang Tw Lyrics

Sean Paul and Blu Cantrell
Introducing the artists who performed the original song

Remix that gonna make ya head swell yo
This new version of the song is going to be really great

Yo hey yo yo hey yo
A vocalization to add emphasis and rhythm to the song

So what's that supposed to be about baby
Asking the partner what their behavior means

Yall free up ya mind and stop actin' crazy
Asking the partner to stop being irrational and think clearly

Reminisce about all the good times daily
Remember the happy moments shared together on a regular basis

Why you try pull that got me actin' crazy
Asking why the partner is causing distress and making them feel unstable

You say you love, say you love me
The partner claims to love the artist

But you're never there for me, yeah,
However, the partner never shows up for the artist

You'll be cryin', slowly dyin'
The artist predicts that the partner will eventually suffer due to their behavior

When I decide to leave, oh, oh
The singer is considering leaving the relationship

All we do is make up
The relationship is characterized by frequent arguments and reconciliations

Then break up
Which ultimately lead to breakups

Why don't we wake up
Asking why they don't see the futility of their cycle of fights and breakups

And see
Understanding the situation and finding a solution

When love hurts
Acknowledging that the relationship is painful

It won't work
Thinking the relationship is not worth continuing

Maybe we need some time alone
Suggesting taking a break in the relationship

We need to let it breathe
Allowing the relationship to rest and recover

Breathe
Repeating the need to stop and breathe

You're only lonely when your homey
The partner feels ignored when there is no material gain for their friend

Ain't got a ride or no loot, yeah, uh-huh
Claiming that cheating seems like an ideal solution when there is a lack of resources

Then comes the drama
Describing the chaos that follows when cheating is discovered

Some other girl is claimin' she's goin' out with you,
Someone else is making the same claim that the artist's partner made earlier

Shady shady shady shady
Calling out the partner's dishonesty and manipulation

Not again
Expressing frustration with the same behavior happening repeatedly

My girl for the fourth time
The fourth time they're having a fight and breaking up

Let me make it very clear to you
The artist wants to clarify their feelings

Your very dear to me
Stating that the partner is important to them

And honor of me
Promising to always act honorably toward the partner

Share to you
Wanting to share their life with the partner

Me not unfair to you
Assuring the partner that they are not being unfairly treated

Who would u want
Asking the partner who they would rather be with

For real you make me know and
Saying that the partner has made them realize the importance of the relationship

I will be there for you
Promising to always support the partner

But me know I'm not a fear to you
The artist is not someone to be feared or mistrusted

Stand up like a man and not be there cause I care for you
Encouraging the partner to be strong and not let the relationship fail because of their insecurities

Long time tellin' you
The singer has been communicating this for a while

No other girl can compare to you
Affirming that the partner is special and unique

And if I live without
Expressing that life without the partner would be difficult

I'm gonna share my life and there for you
Promising to share their life with the partner and be there for them

Say you want to breathe
Referencing the chorus about needing to take a break in the relationship

I'm still not I'm exhalin'
Saying that they are not holding their breath in anticipation of what their partner will do

Say you want to leave cause this relationship failin'
Suggesting that the partner may want to end the relationship because they feel it's not working

Ain't nobody say that it would be smooth sailin'
Acknowledging that the relationship won't always be easy

Girl I want to know why your bailin'
Asking the partner why they're leaving and not trying to work things out

Let it breathe
Repeating the chorus's theme of taking a break in the relationship

Yeah yeah yeah yeah let it breathe yeah
Affirming the need for the relationship to rest for a while

Oh oh time to breathe yall
Repeating the need to take a break in the relationship
