Robert Manigault - Ten Years Of My Life [Original] Lyrics

I used to dance around and prance around like I'm the shit.
Kimosabe, BMOC. I was it.
Boys became men when they learned what not to do.
But my immaturity has cost me you.

I would give up ten years of my life if I could hold you, baby - just to hold you, bae.
I would give up ten years of my life if I could hold you, baby - just to hold you, bae.

The greener grass I saw was precatory bean.
Giddee Giddee, Akar Saga, Rosary Pea.
Flowing through my vein the venom poisoned me.
Killing me slowly and there's no remedy.

I would give up ten years of my life if I could hold you baby - just to hold you, bae.
I would give up ten years of my life if I could hold you baby - just to hold you, bae.
(Repeat)

(Rap)
Sittin' 'round the crib feeling sad and lonely.
Regretting what I did saying "If I had only."
If I had only been a little considerate.
Thoughtless ways were always deliberate.
I didn't want to celebrate the day we met.
I didn't want to reminisce the way we met.
The love you thought you saw in me was a mirage.
You got every right to diss me like you're Nicki Minaj.
I was a piece of shit, didn't show I love you.
I don't deserve to have even the memory of you.
Saw you at the opera house. You're a different person.
Without me your life got better. Without you, my life worsened.
This is the bed I made. Now I have to lie in it.
This is the house I built. Now I have to cry in it.
I want to scream, "I want you back" but you're better off without me.
I know you get sick to your stomach every time you think about me.
I don't blame you. I feel the same way.

Refrain
I would give up ten years of my life just to hold you, baby - just to hold you, bae.
I would give up ten years of my life just to hold you, baby - just to hold you, bae.
(Repeat)

I want a second try with you.
Don't want to say goodbye to you.
I want to laugh and cry with you.
I want to run and fly with you.
I want to hiss and sigh with you.
I'll be a better guy for you.
I'll be a strong ally for you.
I want to live and die with you.
