808

[Verse 1]

Calling my request and for about the hundredth time

DJ, Mr. DJ tryna get you on the line

Girl you heard this word before so I don't mean to keep you

But I never felt this, that's how I know my girl's a keeper

Baby I made you so mad, said things I can't take them back oh oh oh

I know I messed up so bad, tell her I'm feeling so sad

Please could you help me with that? Oh!

[Hook]

DJ drop me a beat and put that 808 on it

I'm sending a message to my babe

Said she's finished with me, but she gotta know I'm hurting

And I think that she listens to this sta-sta-tion

Gotta get her back on this track so please

Would you put that 808, put that 808 on it

Take her back to the days when we was falling in love

DJ put me that 808 on your drum, on your drum

[Verse 2]

Heard her shoes walk out the door, it was just about 8:08

She told me she was up and done and I should've made her stay

I just let it go, grab that remote turn on the Steelers

She jumped onto the a26 to the 95 and now I'll never see her

Oh no, no I can't take that back, I know I messed up so bad

So I need just to special this track

[Hook]

[Verse 3: Plies]

I know for hurting you baby, God gon' punish me

I shouldn't of played with your heart cause you were too sweet

I wasn't ready to settle down, I was too street

I was a sexaholic, I was too weak

All of the promises I made you, I couldn't keep

I was too whorish for you, you deserve better then me

Get married, raise a family, how it's supposed to be

But getting money, chasing women got the best of me

[Bridge]

The first time that I saw her, I can't forget those songs

Thought I could live without her, now she's just all I want

I miss the way she kissed me, I think about it everyday

Everytime I turn on the radio I hear that 808

[Hook]
