[Verse 1: Marques Houston] Wen u talked about our future U would nod ya head nd smile But i didnt understand it I was living in denile I couldnt see tha picture But now i see it clearer Cause i was so young Nd now that i could get cha I wanted ta be wit cha What have i become
[Chorus] (i,i .. i wasnt ready) This is game that ive playin cause (i,i .. i wasnt ready) I neva gave u ma all wen i had ur trust (i,i .. i wasnt ready) But i put this on everything that i love One more chance so we could make up Wish it coulda worked back then But the truth is i wasnt ready (i,i .. i wasnt ready)
[Verse 2: Marques Houston] Momma told me bout excuses She'd say that there no use to say Watchu would have done but did it I had to learn the hard way Now that its over I wanted to jus hold u But i kno i cant Im tryna be a soldier I wanna do it over Give me one more chance (i,i .. i wasnt ready)
[Chorus] (i,i .. i wasnt ready) This is game that ive playin cause (i,i .. i wasnt ready) I neva gave u ma all wen i had ur trust (i,i .. i wasnt ready) But i put this on everything that i love One more chance so we could make up Wish it coulda worked back then But the truth is i wasnt ready (i,i .. i wasnt ready)
[Hook: Marques Houston] Can i get a re-do baby Cause u no i need u baby And now im ready for ur love, ur love I jus wanna see u baby Jus wanna smell nd breathe u baby (your so beautiful mami) Cause i hate what we`ve become (yeah) I wasnt ready for ur love
[Rap: Rufus Blaq] Yo i waited i contemplated nd then i did it There was room for relationship but pretty had to hit it We like hand in glove, a head to a yankee fitted Game is responsibily, its all how u spit it (betta yet live it) Cause karma is a tru adventure Sorta like a ninga or king and all his splender Remember love can be as cold as decemeber Unless its in its truest form i could neva end ya Can break or make u, see my vision cuz i noe eventually Ull see it by the way im livin (this is a given) Im given u my heart im givin u my soul im givin u my gold Im sorry for the dirt that i did Sneakin broads in and out tha crib Tha double life i lived They say a dude sells dreams But a man makes dreams come tru Mami i changed all for the love of u
[Chorus x2: Marques Houston] (i,i wasnt ready) This is game that ive playin cause (i,i .. i wasnt ready) I neva gave u ma all wen i had ur trust (i,i .. i wasnt ready) But i put this on everything that i love One more chance so we could make up Wish it coulda worked back then But the truth is i wasnt ready (i,i .. i wasnt ready) (i,i .. i wasnt ready) [CORNER BOYS] (i,i .. i wasnt ready) (i,i .. i wasnt ready)
[Outro: Marques Houston] Wish it coulda worked back then, damn ...
