(You know things don't always go as they should

Right

Don't you hate a coulda woulda shoulda ni**a

Coulda did woulda did while you shoulda ni**a)

If I had a dollar for every should be you know how rich I would be

Like they say it is what it is not what it could be

Can't cry feel guilt over spilt milk

I'm too fly I'm too cool word to Versace silk

And my watch be filled with mad diamonds

I got good watches just bad timing

The chick I met at the club was was cute still feel like I'm getting brain from a substitute

'Cause this ain't chu and I ain't me

Claiming you so happy then why you so mad at me

Can't hold on to what you had just what you got

You should be here

I'm doin' it again

What I told myself I would not do

It's 4:15 am

Shouldn't have drinkin'

Reminiscin' on you

And how I use to let you smoke even though I don't

You'd get blown then we'd both get low

As I lay here with some girl I don't know

In the back of my mind

One million times

I tell myself

It should be you

Should be you

Should be you and me right now

Said it should be you

Should be you

Should be you and me right now

As I watch her sleep

All than I can think

She's beautiful but she's not you

Love was just a night then out of my life

Damn why can't i do this right

When you told me you wanted to leave

I pretended it didn't hurt me

But as I lay here I can hardly breathe

Layin' next to she while in reality

It should be you

Should be you

Should be you and me right now

Said it should be you (should be you)

Should be you (should be you)

Should be you and me right now

Wish I knew then what I know now

And there was someway somehow

Wish there was some way I could go back

It's obvious there's no doubt

I made a mistake and I'm down and out

Oh girl it should be

Yo check this out

My life

Lights camera fame and action

Feelin' drained from all these private plans I'm catching'

Willing to trade all the flashy chains and the flashin' for a night back in ____ for pain pleasure and passion

Romances

Kinda like the phantom doors we used to ride

'Cause tryna open up is like suicide

God teaches us lessons everyday

You was all I needed like meth and mary j

The sun don't shine foreva

Anytime we fall that just means we climb togetha

Guess we avoided what we coulda went through

That don't change the fact that it shoulda been me and you

Girl it should be

It should be you

Should be you

Should be you and me right now

Said it should be you

Should be you

Should be you and me right now
