Lil' Wayne » Tell Me You Need Me (Apologize Remix) Lyrics
*featuring Bun B
[CHORUS:]
I'm holding on your rope
Got me 10 feet off the ground
And I'm hearin what ya say
But I just can't make the sound
You tell me that you need me
Then you go and cut me down
But wait
You tell me that your sorry
Didn't think I'd turn around
And say
[LIL WAYNE:]
Ok I'm talking bout a
Good girl gone bad
Crooked world, wrong pad
Right mom, wrong dad
I sing this song mad
But not mad enough to shoot ya
But it just eats me up like some barbecue from luthers
In the morning with the roosters on the corner with the boosters
And she's the fresh gut and they're on her like citrus
And I wanna talk to her
But her mama has to school her
I wanna see her better
She's the weather of our future
I don't wanna see a lil girl in pain
Baby you can kill the pain
If you just let me explain
Trust me I kno wat I'm sayin
You will end up on the track of an oncoming train
Stuck in the passenger seat
Driving through the fast lane
[BUN B:]
Well once upon a time it was a mom and a dad
Who on the outside had everything people wished they had
A beautiful daughter
Two story house
Two car garage
And a white picket fence wrapped around the front yard
See daddy was a doctor
And mommy was a banker
Mommy's job got outsourced
So now mommy's a drinker
Daddy had a malpractice suit
Now he's a snorter
And all this shit is taking place right in front of the daughter
She say, "Daddy, what's wrong? "
But he just too high
"Mommy, what we gon do? "
She just get drunk and cry
Caught in the middle of two wrongs
Tryna do right
Looking for answers all alone
In the darkest of nights
They say
[CHORUS:]
I'm holding on your rope
Got me 10 feet off the ground
And I'm hearin what ya say
But I just can't make the sound
You tell me that you need me
Then you go and cut me down
But wait
You tell me that your sorry
Didn't think I'd turn around and say
That it's too late to apologize
It's too late
I said it's too late to apologize
It's too late
[CHORUS:]
I'm holding on your rope
Got me 10 feet off the ground
And I'm hearin what ya say
But I just can't make the sound
You tell me that you need me
Then you go and cut me down
But wait
You tell me that your sorry
Didn't think I'd turn around
And say
