I haven't seen you in this while since you sparked the flame   We had the joys and pain, the sunshine and rain   Now you got your man, I got my staff and we laugh   Then I realize, it was something in the past      Yo you look good, how you been?   How's my little man, how's he doing?   And umm, did you get the package that I sent?   I hope that he knows that there's someone who loves him   But I'm gettin' vexed at you and I   I can't front baby, yeah you still look fly   And as I try, to get my words together   There's a lot of nice times that I start to remember      The good shit always outweighed the bad   I never wanted to make you sad   So think of me as one man   Who has crazy respect for you, as a woman   Although the plans didn't work out   It doesn't mean I won't look out   For you and yours, I wish you the best   Because it's over I guess      I haven't seen you in a while but you sparked the flame   We had the joys and pain, the sunshine and rain   Now you got your man, I got my staff and we laugh   Then I realize, it's something in the past      Now I'm livin' the life, of a true mack   Devoted to my music, tryin' hard not to look back   But on occasion I can see your face   The memories, they got me driftin' a little taste   But now you're doin' your thing, I'm takin' care of mine   And so we're movin' on, leavin' the past behind   I guess relationships they ain't for me   That's why I had to set you free      I haven't seen you in a while but you sparked the flame   We had the joys and pain, the sunshine and rain   Now you got your man, I got my staff and we laugh   Then I realize, it's something in the past      Haven't seen you in a while but you sparked the flame   We had the joys and pain, sunshine and rain   Now you got your man, I got my staff and we laugh   Then I realize, it's something in the past      My personality is magnanimous   That's why the ladies always cause a fuss   It's in the past what we had   Aiy yo respect to your moms and peace to your dad   I'm glad, that we've been through this   Because you know what? I've noticed   A lot about myself, see I wanna gain wealth   They say, that chasin' women is bad for your health      Haven't seen you in a while since you sparked the flame   We have the joys and pain, the sunshine and rain   Now you got your man, I got my staff and we laugh   Then I realize, it's something in the past      Haven't seen you in a while since you sparked the flame   We had the joys and pain, the sunshine and rain   Now you got your man, I got my staff and we laugh   Then I realize, it's something in the past      Somethin' in the past   Somethin' in the past   These moments never last   Somethin' in the past   Dedicated to all the ex girls   You know I'm on with the next girl   Peace
