Something In The Past Lyrics - Jazzmatazz, Vol. 2 (the New Reality) - Guru

I haven't seen you in a while, since you sparked the flame 

We had the joys and pain, the sunshine and rain 

Now you got your man, I got my staff, and we laugh 

Then I realize it was something in the past 

Yo, you look good; how you been? 

How's my little man; how's he doing? 

And, umm, did you get the package that I sent? 

I hope that he knows that there's someone who loves him 

But I'm gettin vexed at you and I 

I can't front, baby; yeah, you still look fly 

And as I try to get my words together 

There's a lot of nice times that I start to remember 

The good shit always outweighed the bad 

I never wanted to make you sad 

So think of me, as one man 

Who has crazy respect for you, as a woman 

Although the plans didn't work out 

It doesn't mean I won't look out 

For you and yours; I wish you the best 

Because it's over, I guess 

I haven't seen you in a while, since you sparked the flame 

We had the joys and pain, the sunshine and rain 

Now you got your man, I got my staff, and we laugh 

Then I realize it's something in the past 

Now I'm livin' the life of a true mack 

Devoted to my music, tryin' hard not to look back 

But on occasion I can see your face 

The memories, they got me driftin' a little taste 

But now you're doin' your thing; I'm takin' care of mine 

And so we're movin' on, leavin' the past behind 

I guess relationships - they ain't for me 

That's why I had to set you free 

I haven't seen you in a while, since you sparked the flame 

We had the joys and pain, the sunshine and rain 

Now you got your man, I got my staff and we laugh 

Then I realize.. it's something in the past 

Haven't seen you in a while, since you sparked the flame 

We had the joys and pain, sunshine and rain 

Now you got your man, I got my staff, and we laugh 

Then I realize it's something in the past 

My personality is magnanimous 

That's why the ladies always cause a fuss 

It's in the past - what we had 

Aiyyo, respect to your moms, and peace to your dad 

I'm glad that we've been through this 

Because you know what? I've noticed 

A lot about myself; see, I want to gain wealth 

They say that chasin' women is bad for your health 

I haven't seen you in a while, since you sparked the flame 

We have the joys and pain, the sunshine and rain 

Now you got your man, I got my staff, and we laugh 

Then I realize it's something in the past 

Haven't seen you in a while, since you sparked the flame 

We had the joys and pain, the sunshine and rain 

Now you got your man, I got my staff, and we laugh 

Then I realize it's something in the past 

Somethin' in the past 

Somethin' in the past 

These moments never last 

Somethin' in the past 

Dedicated to all the ex girls 

You know I'm on with the next girl 

Peace
