Jackin' For Beats
T.I. and DJ Drama Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Since you and I were one
Breaking up was hard to do cause girl I wanted you
But you were so wrong for me
No we don't even speak at first it was relief
But now I'm not so sure
I loved a fantasy the girl I wanted you to be
But not for who you were
So we went our separate ways
Seemed it would never work out anyways
But still my heart holds on
My heart beats for you
My heart beats for you
My heart still beats for you
My heart beats for you
My heart beats for you
My heart still beats for you
So I heard you moved away to get a fresh start in a new place
A fresh start in a new place
Do you wear your hair the same do you still have the ring
The one I gave you on Christmas day
Your heart I tried to please but you were too young to see
I guess I had to learn the hard way
So we went our separate ways
Seemed it would never work out anyways
But still my heart holds on
My heart beats for you
My heart beats for you
My heart still beats for you
My heart beats for you
My heart beats for you
My heart still beats for you
No matter where I go in this world it seems I can't stop thinking of you
Thinking of you what can I do?
From the shores of Mission Bay to the rivers of Zimbabwe
My heart still beats
My heart still beats for you
My heart beats for you
My heart beats for you
My heart still beats for you
My heart beats for you
My heart beats for you
My heart still beats for you

It's been a long long time since you and I were one
It's been a while since we were together as a couple
Breaking up was hard to do cause girl I wanted you
Breaking up with you was difficult because I loved you
But you were so wrong for me
However, you weren't the right person for me
No we don't even speak at first it was relief
We don't even talk now, and at first, not having to deal with the relationship was a relief
But now I'm not so sure
But now I'm not sure if that was the right decision
I loved a fantasy the girl I wanted you to be
I loved the idea of you that I had in my mind, not necessarily who you really were
But not for who you were
I didn't love you for who you really were
So we went our separate ways
So we broke up and went our separate ways
Seemed it would never work out anyways
It seemed like our relationship was doomed from the start
But still my heart holds on
Despite everything, my heart still loves you
My heart beats for you
My heart still loves you
So I heard you moved away to get a fresh start in a new place
I heard that you moved away to start a new life
Do you wear your hair the same do you still have the ring
I wonder if you still look and act the same, and if you still have the ring I gave you
The one I gave you on Christmas day
The ring I gave you as a gift on Christmas day
Your heart I tried to please but you were too young to see
I tried to make you happy, but you were too young to fully appreciate it
I guess I had to learn the hard way
I had to learn through difficult experiences
No matter where I go in this world it seems I can't stop thinking of you
No matter where I am, I can't seem to stop thinking about you
Thinking of you what can I do?
I don't know what to do with these feelings of missing you
From the shores of Mission Bay to the rivers of Zimbabwe
No matter where I go, these feelings follow me
My heart still beats for you
My heart still loves you
