Wale — Diary

[Intro] If I told you I wanted to talk to you You know, you think I'm tryna holla at you And maybe I am but You wouldn't hear me out anyway's would you? [Verse 1: Wale] Rather lose love than to move on never knowing what it feel like Short days, long nights By the phone, no call Need a clear mind cause I been blind, got me goin' down that road Heart made of stone Far away from home Black woman you cold Every problem that you ever had with another man I gotta face Started off on thin ice I'm still here but I can't skate Slow sink, can't breathe, no remorse, don't think Listen to your friend get another man for a minute then repeat Queen, you deserve the title but she rejects what I give, while she nurse the wounds by them Tried them didn't work Got impossible standards Nothing I'ma do is gon work Diary of a black girl [Chorus: Marsha Ambrosius] I wonder why, I sit and cry Wish I could shed all these tears Im down and out I'll keep on moving and tryna get out I don't know how to move on Where I went wrong I wish I could live with no fear So down and out I'll keep it moving and tryna get out Somehow [Verse 2: Wale] Raised by a momma who, who Hates her baby father so, so She don't have a problem with, with Saying fuck a nigga quick, quick I'm just tryna be the one who never run, but you run away from me Your girlfriend's man cheat, cheat Why not me the same thing She can't see in me, what I see in her This pain she inherit can't be reversed I can't even stay living in the shade of all the motherfuckers that played ya The irony in that is that I ain't even that, but you put it those pages Wife, you deserve the label but, but you been hurt before so you sore and don't feel your able Tried them didn't work, got impossible standards, nothing I ever do works Diary of a black girl [Chorus: Marsha Ambrosius] I wonder why, I sit and cry Wish I could shed all these tears Im down and out I'll keep on moving and tryna get out I don't know how to move on Where I went wrong I wish I could live with no fear So down and out I'll keep it moving and tryna get out Somehow [Verse 3: Wale] See all I ever wanna do is be relevant Just tell me that I ever meant anything Or that you could ever see me and you in another light But it's like the dark women endures the darkest nights by the wrong man And see mostly all of them have made you somewhat incapable of a first impression What I do is I channel my aggression with no cable or antenna Just intentions to impress you, if capable Hoping that the material possessions can materialize to a better you Cars, nothing I drive can drive you out of this frame of mind With such an ugly picture in it and Money, nothing I buy can buy me more time for your ears to tell your heart to listen to it Diamonds, a girl's best friend is what they say, but believe me with the right allegiance shorty you gon shine anyways And every day that goes by is a couple more lines in her diary The day before is better than the present So anyone presented in her presence endures these life sentences No key for release No reason to be around Her minds in the clouds She writes it all down In her diary [Chorus: Marsha Ambrosius] I wonder why, I sit and cry Wish I could shed all these tears Im down and out I'll keep on moving and tryna get out I don't know how to move on Where I went wrong I wish I could live with no fear So down and out I'll keep it moving and tryna get out Somehow
