Keyshia Cole — Zero

[Verse 1: Keyshia Cole] I don't mind Rushin' through traffic just to get dinner ready in time And I, don't mind Callin' when I'm late just to give you peace of mind And I, don't mind You stayin' out all night long, hangin' with the guys But I do mind When you look me right dead in the eye and you tell me lies [Chorus: Keyshia Cole] You see, it pays to tell the truth Look at what you had to lose Should think before you do, did you not know the rules? You see, it pays to tell the truth Feel so sorry for you You coulda had it all Too bad you gotta fall Now you leave, now you leave with zero, nothing Now you leave with zero, nada Now you leave with zero You see, it pays to tell the truth, but you didn't do it Now you leave with zero, nothing Now you leave with zero, oh, nada Now you leave with zero You see, it pays to tell the truth [Verse 2: Keyshia Cole] Oh, why I tried Giving you chances just to get your act right And I, I tried Everything from prayin' to breakin' things To gettin' out of line Those tears I've cried, they hurt so deep inside They almost drained me dry But now, it's time For you to man up 'cause I'm takin' back what's mine [Chorus: Keyshia Cole & (Meek Mill)] You see, it pays to tell the truth Look at what you had to lose (Look, look at it) Should think before you do (Think before it) Did you not know the rules? You see, it pays to tell the truth Feel so sorry for you (Feel so sorry) You coulda had it all, too bad you gotta fall Now you leave, now you leave with zero, nothing Now you leave with zero, nada Now you leave with zero You see, it pays to tell the truth, but you didn't do it (What, what?) Now you leave with zero, nothing (What, what?) Now you leave with zero, oh, nada Now you leave with zero You see, it pays to tell the truth [Verse 3: Meek Mill] I lie just to protect you, never to disrespect you 'Cause what we have was so 38 special And it was times that I heard niggas test you But I ain't even ask, I was waitin' to catch you But you caught me and everything was on me It was time to face the music, everything was on key And them lies sounded good, didn't they? Now you sick of me Now I'm supposed to leave with zero, is you kiddin' me? One minus one equals none And if you gon' leave, then you might leave with some But you gon' think about me every time you see my son And I'ma think about you every time I see the sun, in the morning It's gonna be times we get caught up in the moment But don't turn your back on the man you belong with (Belong with) 'Cause if you lose. then I lose too And if you cool, then I'm cool too [Chorus: Keyshia Cole] Now you leave, now you leave with zero, nothing (With nothing) (What, what?) Now you leave with zero, oh, nada Now you leave with zero (What, what?) You see, it pays to tell the truth, but you didn't do it Now you leave with zero, oh, nothing Now you leave with zero, oh, nada Now you leave with zero You see, it pays to tell the truth, oh [Outro: Keyshia Cole] Tell, tell the truth Tell, tell the truth (Tell the truth, tell the truth, tell the truth)
