Miss January

[Hook:]

I had to say goodbye to Miss January

She had a hold on my mind for so long and

I learned a lesson in life from Miss January

The weight left on my heart is less heavy

When the first light shines, the first light shines in June

[Talib Kweli:]

I thought I fell in love once with a girl who loves blunts

And got fronts and she made me rise above lust

I thought I fell in love again with this one chick

Body so thick it was hard not to...

I fell in love just one more time after that

Shorty had me ready to settle down and make a habitat

The sad fact is I wasn't ready to

Give up my freedom

And so I let them go pretending that I don't need 'em

So here I sit at the bar amongst the star gazers

Caught in the crosshairs, a target of a heart breaker

The radio was playing Neither One of Us

By Gladys, it's so ironic I chuckled...

I reminisce on all the chicks that I ran thru

Now I'm dealing with this black magic one-man boo

Stringing me along like the guitar on the song I'm rapping on

I ain't do the math, a Libra and a Capricorn

[Mr. J. Medeiros:]

True love got the power to change any circumstance

I knew we were far from the same, but still I took a chance

Wish I could have looked in advance to your advances

Knowing I'm the book that you read to your advantage

I understand it's not like we planned it with the worst intentions

Take it for granted, I was stranded in your first impressions

I know it hurts to question, what will be a curse or blessin'

I guess it's worth confessin', maybe then we'll learn our lesson

Searching for your attention, hoping you were doing the same

Pursuing the fame, knowing that only you were entertained

Using me, and I was new to the pain

Cause rejection I hadn't meet him, but I knew him by name

True I grew from the pain, in the days where I'd pay anything

Standing there like John Cusack from Say Anything

Planning on you to call back but it never rings

There were so many things, there were so many signs

And now I'm chasing wings knowing it's a waste of time

Untill my God reminds me of what I truly need

I take a look behind just before your beauty leaves

To get a glimpse of you hoping that you see me too

And know we staring at two people that we never knew

And probably never know, hoping I'll forever grow

Into the one who finally gained the strength to let you go

And changed my idea of what true love is

I wipe my eyes clear and rise above this
