Manifest/ex Factor Lyrics - Lauryn Hill

Take it down now 

I loved hard one but the love wasnt in return 

I found out the man i die for he wasnt even concerned 

Time will turn you tried to burn like a perm 

But my eyes saw the deception but ma' heart couldnt let me learn 

For, some little mug was i 

Every time he lied he would cry and then id die 

My heart must of died a thousand deaths 

Compare my self to Tony Braxton thought id never catch my breate 

Nothing left you stole the heart beating from my chest 

I tried to call the cops that type of thing they cant arrest 

Pay supressed will lead to cardiac arrest 

I must deserve it cus' he convinced me i was not blessed 

But my people would protest told the line of buisness cus' ma s**t was complex 

Mornings just a sex i was blessed but couldnt feel it like when i was caressed 

I spent nights touching my breast overwhelmed by gods zest 

I was god bleesed contimplating destistating mess 

And no man has ever worked in paradise, no man has ever worked in paradise, And no man has ever worked in paradise 

Where were you when i needed you, when i needed you, when i needed you 

Where were you when i needed you, when i needed you, when i needed you 

oh do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do
