I Told You
[Male voice]
Here we go, baby! You... you and me!
[Intro: Teedra]
What don't kill you
It only makes you stronger
Thug it out...
[Verse 1]
Went through the jungle
For forty days and forty nights
My cubs beside me
Show me no fear in their eyes
Gave me the gumption to get my ass out here in the grind
Now, we're doing alright
I told you I
[Pre-Chorus]
Told you I would make it without you
Told you I would make it without you
Told you one day, I'd make it without you
Told you I would make it without you (I told you you)
Told you you would have to respect me (You would)
Told you you would have to respect me
Told you one day you'd have to respect me
Told you you would have to respect me
[Chorus]
I still remember when I said
(Grab ya keys, get ya coat, get ya shit!
Don't know where you going
But you getting out of here!
'Cause I'm so sick!)
And I remember when I said
(Of all of this!
Listen here, I'm a tell you real spit!
I can't take no more, I done had it up to here!
'Cause I'm so sick!)
'Cause I'm so sick!
(Just wanna quit! Oh!)
[Verse 2]
Life is a jungle
And love (Love is a battlefield)
I had to shake you for someone
(Someone with love to give)
Someone
(Someone that I could feel)
Someone
(Someone whose love was real)
Woah
I told you I
[Pre-Chorus]
Told you I would find somebody new (I told you)
Told you I would find somebody new (I told you)
Told you one day, I'd find somebody new
Told you I would find somebody new (I told you you)
Told you you would have to respect me (Told you you)
Told you you would have to respect me
Told you one day you'd have to respect me
Told you you would have to respect me
[Chorus]
[Refrain]
I told you, I
I told you, I
I told you
I told you, I
I told you
Yeah, I told you
I told you
I told you
[Bridge]
That it was
The first time in awhile
I'd opened my heart
Shoulda made sure that your game was tight
If you planned
To be in my life
Woah woah wooooo
La la la la
La la la la la
La la la la la
La la la la la la
Hey
