Ricky Nappi - When I Met You Lyrics

My condolences, there's so much to make up for
Sometimes I forget this whole thing and what it was for
I'm shaking off the dust more, trying to get the pieces back
Trying to figure out what I see and what I need from rap
And even that is keeping back potential in me dying
I'm tired of not complying I'm tired of not providing
I'm doing this to show you the person that you shouldn't be
And to show you that there's still alot of good in me
One the day I met you I knew that I'd never leave you alone
Anchor me down to earth I always needed a home
And I bet... I spent alot of blood tears and sweat
Sometimes I even forget the moment we first met
If I recall correctly it was the middle of spring
The first time that I heard you sing made me feel like I was a king, uh
I could tell from that moment that you were different from my past patients
Classic Ricky, falling in love at gas stations
I knew that I could love you
You knew that you could hate me now (hate me now)
There's like fifty different ways to break it down
When I met you I knew that it would absolutely change everything
I've cut some trees down and now I'm counting every ring
Cause people seldom do
They tied my hands with rope
And any rapper that wants it can get some cannon smoke
I'm off the reservation, when I met you I
Took some steps in your direction you can testify
Put away my weapons and lessened the way specialize
In hoping, when you wrote your list of names, that you mentioned mine
But I'm a wishful thinker
You never hit your blinker when your turning right
And I think that's why things are getting bleaker
I hope you always tell the truth to me
I knew I loved you from the very moment you were introduced to me
That's just my intuition I could be wrong though
Heartbeat be flat, played the wrong note
If you fall I'll always find a way to catch you
Thats why I'm thinking about the day I met you
And I'm still saying
I knew that I could love you
You knew that you could hate me now (hate me now)
There's like fifty different ways to break it down
I gotta tell you man, it's been an honor
I was going down with my own ship before I even met your daughter
I was in heavy water, she's STILL my light house
You traveled like me but managed to find the right routes
And I apologize for things I didn't say
I didn't treat her like a peer, I wasn't keeping her at Bay
And I would give her every thing if she would ever let me stay
But we both know that tides change like, every other day
But if you hear this I hope you know that I love her to death
She was the one that got away I couldn't even catch my breath
I prolly used the wrong bait I never knew about the net
But she's the mother of my child that's something I don't regret
Man, when I met you i thought that I could hold it down
And in a round about I think I got my wish
That's why I always shake your hand when I come around
It's kinda funny how taught a man to fish
I knew that I could love you
You knew that you could hate me now (hate me now)
There's like fifty different ways to break it down
