The Ex

[Intro: J Dilla]

Yes, Big Dilla, P*** R***, Bilal

Here it is, uh

Yeah, it's for you, uh, hey

[Verse 1: J Dilla & Bilal]

Hey, remember me? Take a look, baby

Yes it's your ex—he off the hook, ain't he?

I'm doing my thing, thanks, you did me a favor

I'm through with the games and straight with the silly behavior

And I knew it was over, I was hoping it worked

See I can't go to work with you going berserk

You going through shirts, you scoping for dirt

And what's worse—you searching to only get hurt

And no I don't flirt with every pro in a skirt

I'm better than that, I'm trying to get this cheddar to stack

You steady thinking about what I did in the bed to you

And if I'm hitting other women instead of you

See we can't grow close to not get along

They say you don't know what you got til it's gone

It's hard to move on but we gave it a chance

And because you wasn't ready for a man

(Re—) You left me

[Chorus: Bilal & J Dilla]

—member (Okay)

Remember you left me (Yeah)

So let me free

Re-member (Please! Uh, it's for you)

Remember you left me

So let me free (Re— please! Uh)

[Verse 2: Bilal]

You got it all glistened up

In your own way I got mixed up (Mixed up)

Ain't heard from you

In such a long time (Long time)

Hey, let me pull over (Pull over)

You're still looking good, doing well

You said you saw me in that last magazine

Well, I'm doing good

[Chorus: Bilal & J Dilla]

Re-member (Yeah, yeah, yeah)

Remember you left me (Left me)

So let me free (Let me free! Yeah, uh)

Re-member (Uh, hey, it's for you)

Remember you left me (Left me free)

So let me free (Let me free! Yeah, yeah)

I do, remember you left me

So let me free (Let me free!)

[Verse 3: J Dilla & Bilal]

Well, let it be a lesson to you for choosing to jet

I'm through with the stress of messing with you

One second you're cool and you're foolin' the next

And who would've guessed the best you could do

(Re—) Was leave me

[Chorus: Bilal & J Dilla]

—member (Uh, yeah, it's for you)

Remember you left me

So let me free! (Yeah, uh)

I do (It's your man)

Remember you left me (Dilla Dawg)

So let me free! (Pete Rock, Bilal, uh)

[Outro: J Dilla]

That's how we do

Y'know this one of them joints

Put it in with your ex while you freaking her

Strapped up with the lubricated trojan
