rebuilding the city

She never knew what I was doing
Cuz I was rebuilding the city
Rebuilding the city
Taking everything with me
Rebuilding the city
now another man got ya
And the thangs that I got
You ain't never gonna have
Won't find another like me
I was rebuilding our home
But that's for another woman now
Cuz you cheated on me
ya asking for my hand back and I ain't giving that no no no
I was rebuilding the city
Rebuilding the city
Rebuilding the city
Now I found me a queen
She treat me like a king
Now you jealous so it seems
But you still go from man to man
We be doing this for far too long
Told you I didn't know how much more I could take
Gotta stop doing them thangs
For a man in prison you ain't never gonna see
I was rebuilding the city
Rebuilding the city
You said you needed me back in yo life
But I said hell no
So many days gone by since you took yo own life
Ya family blames me for ya death this is just what I see in the future I can't keep doing this with ya no more
I was rebuilding the city
Rebuilding the city
She never knew what I was doing cuz I was rebuilding the city taken everything with me
Rebuilding the city
Rebuilding the city
