Aaliyah Lyrics

I knew this guy Miguel...

[Verse 1]
He got a shawty and she don't like when he drink
Been actin' naughty and she don't know what to think
They got a baby, ain't seen him lately, he with grandma by the sea
She said stay, it's getting late but he left with the keys

[Verse 2]
Damaged, bro back home livin' lavish
She said help me manage, shit don't feel right, madness
She got no diamond ring on her, birds don't sing often
She feel the sting, sobbin, the sweetest thing rotten
Shit been the same for a minute or two
He won't be changing, she seein' it through
Takin a pill for the pain that's lеft
With their last penny, he's callin' collеct

[Verse 3]
Down at the corner of fifth and Calhoun's
Along come the truck for her man, he too boozed
Licensed suspended but she been his Ubs
Just not today, he told her to move
They stop at the light, somethin ain't right nah
She wanted some rest but he was trying to fight
Cryin' too hard, got a frog in her throat
Said shut up bitch, it's your ass when we home
Ain't seein straight, hit the gas, she said don't
Big rig comin' fast, intersection, he froze
No one listens, no one hears me (x3)

[Outro]
Oh my child shed no tears, mamas missin' but granny's here
All her cries fell on deaf ears, oh sweet Aaliyah I'm sorry dear
