T.I. - You Ain't Missin' Nothin' (Paper Trail) Lyrics
[Intro: T.I.]Hey... say, pimp...This to everybody stretched out behind the walls...Countin' days on they calendar...Flippin' pages month to month...Hey, man, I don't give a damn how other folks treat you, manI just wanna... I wanna let you know, pimpYou Ain't Missin' Nothin' homeboy... real talk.[Chorus: T.I.]I know the times seem long, just try & keep strongPut on your headphones & rewind this songRemember You Ain't Missin' Nothin' homesI promise You Ain't Missin' Nothin' homesHey, just know the club on hold & the broads on pauseYou get home, it's gon' be waitin' on y'allSo dawg, just know for real You Ain't Missin' Nothin' homesI promise You Ain't Missin' Nothin' homes.[Verse 1:]On everythingMy uncle did a decadeCame home, hit the ground runnin' gettin' paidLike he never did a dayHit the streets niggas still in the same place they was'Fore he went in the chain gang & doin' the same thing'Cause the game go on, you only do 2 days in the jointThe day you get locked up & the day you go homeI know it feels like the world passin' you byLike shit happenin' everyday out there that you don't know aboutEverytime you call home your baby mama show outAnd your partners don't even send you flicks from when they go out.But don't worry 'about it or stress it 'cause shawty, you know what?The time do itself, all you gotta do is show upKeep layin' down, wakin' up & thankin' the LordAnd 'fore you know it they gon' open the doors, true storyJust prepare yourself for it.If you ain't got a plan, what you need with a second chance? Shit, you gon' blow itLearn & visualize what you tryin' to doAnd do the time, homeboy, don't let the time do youThey say the time just flew in the streetsHard to believe from in there but you'll see soon as you on the streets.[Chorus:]I know the times seem long, just try & keep strongPut on your headphones & rewind this songRemember You Ain't Missin' Nothin' homesI promise You Ain't Missin' Nothin' homesHey, just know the club on hold & the broads on pauseYou get home, it's gon' be waitin' on y'allSo dawg, just know for real You Ain't Missin' Nothin' homesI promise You Ain't Missin' Nothin' homes.[Verse 2:]Probably thinkin' easy for me to say from here in the boothBut they showed you, they'll put me in there with youRight now locked down in the state of the feds, lay in the bedPlayin' this over & over as you say in your head"Yeah... next time I'm a be straightJust count down to my release date..." piece of cakeMy nigga Cap right now servin' a life sentenceFor a murder he committed in his self-defenseAnd in such good spirits shawty ain't even trippin'And I could be right in there with him, no bullshitin'He on his 9th year now just waitin' to get outGot me thinkin' my shit ain't even worth complainin' about'Cause it can still be worse fo' sho'So you waitin' on me to lose hope you got to kill me firstI talked to my nigga Big MeechHad to tell him the streets miss him just as much as he miss the streetsHad to let him know whenever he releasedWe hittin' the club like '03 this time it's on meYeah we laugh, reminisce for a minute & thenI tell him just know ain't nobody ever did it as bigIt'll never be the same in this city againClosest you'll get is me & Jeezy & themSo dawg, if it seem like you left behind, 10 steps behindJust know it only get better with time, for real.[Chorus: T.I.]I know the times seem long, just try & keep strongPut on your headphones & rewind this songRemember You Ain't Missin' Nothin' homesI promise You Ain't Missin' Nothin' homesHey, just know the club on hold & the broads on pauseYou get home, it's gon' be waitin' on y'allSo dawg, just know for real You Ain't Missin' Nothin' homesI promise You Ain't Missin' Nothin' homes.[T.I. talking:]Hey, what's up, Kell?Shawty, we comin' to get you my nigga, just hold still, man, stay out of trouble, man.We comin' to get you my nigga for real.Hey, doesn't show you what it is, pimp.We waitin' on you baby.Moan.
