"reprise" lyrics
Dear love, where you been at?
Spin the block, boo
Where my friend at?
I know you coming and going
I know you running from places
And still don't where you going
You trying hard just to hide it
But still them feelings be showing
We damn near die to grow old
That's why the old heads be knowin'
Ain't nothing new under the sun
Back when my daddy loved my mama
And he thought I'd be a son
Even though I'm just a daughter, I still pray I be the one
'Cause it wasn't in the plan to be some nigga's wife
I seen the lord move mountains in some niggas' lives
But I ain't never seen a woman make a nigga do right
And I ain't never seen a woman who ain't put up a fight
But if the timing ain't right, is it still worth a try?
'Cause when he said the choice is his, he ain't never lie
When he said the choice is his, he ain't never tell a lie
What would I know?
And who would I be?
If I had not been who I needed to be?
What would you know?
And who would you be?
If you had not been who you needed to be?
To the moon and back, baby
Really got love for you
To the moon and back, baby
Really got love for you
I got love for you
I had a life before the storm
I had a life before that
Come to think about it
Me and life, we kinda go back
But then you came along and I forgot about that
But then the other day I called my mama for the first time in 10 years
Think about it, I ain't call my mom in fucking 10 years
Living with my big girl panties
All alone, no nanny
I ain't shed a fucking tear
And my therapist, "Like pay attention something's going on here"
But I can't fucking focus cause something's going on here
'Cause every time I tug and you pull
And then I pull and you tug
And I just can't get enough proving I'm worthy of love
I put a brick through your window, boy
'Cause you ain't gone just play me like Nintendo, boy
There's a window in time
When my daddy loved my mama
And for that I'm alive
And for that I'm a gem
I'm the only place that keeps a certain version of them
And everything that it's been
So relax, baby I was born a fly bitch
'Fore it's all said and done I'm gone die a fly bitch
I'm a virtuous woman but I'm still with the shits
Hmm, don't you forget, don't you forget
Don't you forget, don't you forget (bitch)
What would I know?
And who would I be?
If I had not been who I needed to be?
What would you know?
And who would you be?
If you had not been who you needed to be?
To the moon and back, baby
Really got love for you
To the moon
Where you been at?
Where my friend at?
Spin the block, boo
Where my friend at?
I know you coming and going
I know you running from places
And still don't where you going
You trying hard just to hide it
But still them feelings be showing
We damn near die to grow old
That's why the old heads be knowin'
Ain't nothing new under the sun
Back when my daddy loved my mama
And he thought I'd be a son
Even though I'm just a daughter, I still pray I be the one
'Cause it wasn't in the plan to be some nigga's wife

But I ain't never seen a woman make a nigga do right
And I ain't never seen a woman who ain't put up a fight
But if the timing ain't right, is it still worth a try?
'Cause when he said the choice is his, he ain't never lie
When he said the choice is his, he ain't never tell a lie
What would I know?
And who would I be?
If I had not been who I needed to be?
What would you know?
And who would you be?
If you had not been who you needed to be?
To the moon and back, baby
Really got love for you
To the moon and back, baby
Really got love for you
I got love for you

Where my friend at?
