Lyrics

Chooz U

[Verse 1: T.I.]

They say love blind, so why can't I picture this guhl mine?

Yea I dig her but I figure, I'm wastin this guhl time

I'm runnin from relationships, scared to commit

Mad at monogamy, sexually, I'm a misfit

But this shit's... way too much fo me

Usually I can take 'em and make 'em a cut buddy

Yo mama probably see me, and say that I'm no good

I was born in the burbs, I was raised in the hood

We from two separate sides of life, two different backgrounds

Shawty been legit and I just started to rap now

I ain't tryina act now, I'm bein' real witchu

Really, I just wanted to kick it and chill witchu

But the picture got bigger, 'fo I could even paint it

Thoughts got deeper befo' a nigga could think

A playa like me on this, strange ain't it?

One thang bout yo feelins is this, you can't change it

Yo perception on me, I don't think I can maintain it

We flirtin' with disaster, this game we playin is dangerous

You the best thang that happened since I done became famous

But sometimes I think we shoulda remained strangers

[Chorus: Jazze Pha]

I chose you baby

(Stay with me now, stay with me, sing it fo me shawty)

Oh I oh I chose you baby

(Ah, come on, uh, uh, uh c'mon)

[Verse 2: T.I.]

I like you to pursue, but still I respect it to let it go

Give it time, give it room to breathe and let it grow

I'll just tell her when I'm ready to change, I'll let her know

Hate to say it, but til then be friends and nothin' mo

Even though anotha time, anotha life, anotha place

I swear I know we coulda been great

But rather than great, you lil heart take the smile of yo face

So I can treat you righ, I'm willin to wait

And ain't shit fake, I know it sound funny comin from a felon

But I think I got a piece of what's up in heaven

So to keep from, blockin my blessings, think I better back up

Last thang a nigga need now is bad luck

But if my life was perfect shawty, I'da had her

I guess, I guess I don't deserve it, ballaz tell me you ain't worth it

So I gots to hit the surface, I'll holla when I holla

Act like I don't wanna see ya, and I don't wanna call her

[Chorus: Jazze Pha]

I chose you baby

(Stay with me now, stay with me, sing it fo me shawty)

Oh I oh I chose you baby

(Ah, come on, uh, uh, uh c'mon)
