Everything is different now,
  Look at me and you can see I've changed somehow
  You might think it's strange the way I hold it down
  But I know (I know you want it),
  and you know (I know you know) I got what you need
  My life is different now,
  Look at you & I can see you're wonderin how
  Though you think it's strange the way I hold it down
  Know I know, (I know you want it) & i know (I know you know)
  I got what you need

  Some of my girls I hadn't seen in a while
  Saw them at the mall and we traded hugs and a smile
  They said we hear you're doing well you seem so confident
  I told them that it wasn't me but it is heaven sent
  I saw confusion in there eyes,
  Said i'm living fine no compromise
  I don't talk I don't dress like I did before
  But if you give me just a second I will tell you more
