I never jumpted in and rescued you,
but I wanted to
I didn't tell you which way to go,
'cause I thought you'd know
You had a problem with your new found
wealth, you brought it on yourself
I never told you I told you so, but I told you so

Have to let it go
It's time to let it go
Now I can't believe
It took so long to leave
Perhaps one day I'll grieve
Or I never will

I never told you I agreed with you,
I don't think I do
I wasn't sure quite what the whole thing
meant, but I'm glad you went
I never thought that it could be painless,
but it is I guess
I had myself fooled into needing you,
did I fool you too?

Have to let it go
it's time to let it go
Now I can't believe
It took so long to leave
Perhaps one day I'll grieve
Or I never will

A viral infection that can incubate for years
Caused by affection fallen deep into arrears
No medication to procure
Makes me pure, there's no cure, I am sure

I never mentioned how I've prayed for you,
and now I've paid for you
I never said that I would wait for you,
it's too late for you

Have to let it go
it's time to let it go
Now I can't believe
It took so long to leave
Perhaps one day I'll grieve
Or I never will

Heeyy.
Ohh oh oh.
Ohh no oh no.
Whooaa oh no
Oh no ohh.
Ohh oh oh
Ohh.

Looking at you now I can tell
That you in your new relationship ain't going well.
There's no reason your name should come up on my cell.
Unless your unhappy, but that shouldn't be the case.
Cause you said, said he was the one baby yes you said,
Said you were in love, cause...

When you left me you said that you wouldn't be
Coming back remember that, but I never agreed.
I hate to say it but I told you so,
Told you if you left that you were goin be miserable.
Cause he don't do it like me,
Or else you wouldn't be
Running back to the past
It was you that left me

I hate to say it but you know I'm right
Everytime you run you're comin for me late at night.
But right now you ain't got me.
Tell me where you're gonna be,
Cause I can't take you back,
No, my heart won't let me.

Girl, you know he can't touch like I do,
I don't see you trippin or flippin over his moves.
It don't take a genius to see he ain't that dude.
But you let him back,
You don't know what you was on when you said,
Said he was the one, baby yes you said,
Said you were in love, cause...

When you left me you said that you wouldn't be
Coming back remember that, but I never agreed.

I hate to say it but I told you so,
Told you if you left that you were goin be miserable.
Cause he don't do it like me,
Or else you wouldn't be
Running back to the past
It was you that left me

I hate to say it but you know I'm right
Everytime you run you're comin for me late at night.
But right now you ain't got me.
Tell me where you're gonna be,
Cause I can't take you back,
No, my heart won't let me.

If there are hard times it seems,
But you ain't gettin no sympathy,
No baby not from me,
Cause I told you you should never leave.
See you chose this road
So you gotta go it alone
Remember I told you so.

I hate to say it but I told you so,
Told you if you left that you were goin be miserable.
Cause he don't do it like me,
Or else you wouldn't be
Running back to the past
It was you that left me

I hate to say it but you know I'm right
Everytime you run you're comin for me late at night.
But right now you ain't got me.
Tell me where you're gonna be,
Cause I can't take you back,
No, my heart won't let me.

Can't take you back, noo.

Ohhhh
Oh no oh, oh
Noo.

And do those feet in modern times
Walk upon the flowers and
Walk upon their brothers while their
Heads are busy lying low
Trying to keep to cover, oh

Something went wrong along the way
Everybody's waiting for judgment day
So they can go Told you so
They can go Told you so

Bring me my gun of itching desire
Bring me my bullets and I will fire
Sights set higher than the tall church spire

Something went wrong along the way
Everybody's waiting for judgment day
So they can go Told you so
They can go Told you so

Standing in line, the blind lead the blind
Waiting and waiting for an overdue sign
Brothers and sisters playing Chinese Whispers
If things aren't suited then they'll get diluted

Here's one more dead with a hole in his head
He shouldn't have said all the things he said
Many tears were shed for the blood he bled

Something went wrong along the way
Everybody's waiting for judgment day
So they can go Told you so
They can go Told you so

"Told You So"

Your voice is like a ghost inside my head
You whisper lies to try and hurt me again
All the times you doubted me, you'll see
I was always better than you made me out to be

Not gonna let you down, let you down easy
You're gonna feel it inside, it's gonna eat you alive
When I walk away, walk away, believe me
The pain will say I told you so

Tearing off the grip you've had on me
Time has told me you will never be what I need
The ashes from the hell you put me through
They will be the memories what's left of me and you

Not gonna let you down, let you down easy
You're gonna feel it inside, it's gonna eat you alive
When I walk away, walk away, believe me
The pain will say I told you so

All your promises to all my dreams
Were never meant to be
You never believed in me
Hiding your regrets
You'll come back, wanting me to fall in your arms
Who do you think you are?

Not gonna let you down, let you down easy
You're gonna feel it inside, it's gonna eat you alive
When I walk away, walk away, believe me
The pain will say I told you so

Not gonna let you down, let you down easy
You're gonna feel it inside, it's gonna eat you alive
When I walk away, walk away, believe me
The pain will say I told you so
I told you so

[Intro]
Grand Hustle Pimp..
Hey, whats happenin shorty
Me being a true player and all
I mean you know as a stand up guy you know
I really hate to say I told you so
But, man I told you so
Back when we said we were goin to run this shit man
When we said Pimp Squad Click, Grand Hustle was the business
When we said their was a whole nother side of Atlanta
A whole nother bunch of motherfuckers in the trap, y'all didnt know

[Chorus]
Man, I told you so
They thought a pimp wasn't s'posed to blow
Because I was rappin about moving o's and blow
Pimp I told you so
They thought that Outkast closed the door
And Ludacris came in and sold his 4?
Man, I told you so
The Mac, C-Rod, Kuntry and Dro
And AK had the coldest flow
Nigga, I told you so
I said the future was right up under your nose
You thought the south wouldn't explode no more
Remember, I told you so

[T.I.]
Way back when Kriss-Kross was hollering "Jump" on ya tube
They was still gettin jumped at school, we used to tote them tools
Don't get me wrong I'll give respect to them dudes
But approach us wrong, and we'll smoke them fools, ain't no joke it's the truth
Fuck a hater, let 'em do what it do
I'm busy now, but I'll be through in a few
And then I'm coming for you
So keep shit talking like it's something to do
I'll spend a 100 grand get a killer something to do
I been hustlin since 92' when I heard UGK
Hollering "Pocket Full of Stones" I was on my way
Had a history in the yay, before I started to trap
13, let me take you back farther than that
When my uncles was baggin blocks, used to count the stacks
I was only 8, and my grand-daddy can vouch for that
And my pops had alot of work, alot of folk he got 'em work
And ran numbers, said if he ain't wanna, he ain't gotta work
Why I sold rocks, I guess I got from pops
My uncles ? man ? a chip off the old block
The nigga you hear now the same one from off the old block
Who used to stand on Front St. and get off the old block

[Chorus]

I remember the P$C, Killer Mike, David Banner and me and YoungBloodz
Ran through Atlanta with heat, when even Atlanta was sleep
Nigga, back before you heard of me
I was middle man into serving keys when KC was serving 3
I'm on top because I deserved to be
So simmer down, calm your nerves at least
Speak your words with peace
Before you lay out on the curb deceased
Think about it, it's absurd to beef
I took my songs to street
He told me dopeboy was the bomb in the street
Since then, my name rang like alarms in the street
Who knew how long it would be
If only LA knew how wrong he could be
I told you ain't nobody stronger than me

[Chorus]

This southern rap shit of the day is something I helped design
Puerto Rico of the mix show I'll let you know who the next in line
the Snowman, Paul Wall, the Thug ?
Alot of other niggaz shouldn't of even been signed
Thats a opinion of mine
Because these niggaz be neglecting the grind
Ain't waiting on nobody to let me shine, I'ma go get me mine
And then they wonder why they checks behind
Cuz TIP was 20k? back in the day, need me to press rewind
What be on these niggaz mind, man don't get me to lyin
I seen ya kind, dopeboy, and that ain't even ya kind
Ain't never sold a gram of crack, and ain't no need of ya tryin
Back in the trap, pimp I don't see him survivin

[Chorus]

It took some time to realize
All the bullshit in my eyes
Until I got away from you
And then I guess you thought that you'd be cool
And make me look like I'm the one the fool
Well I don't care 'cause you're the one to blame
I can't believe it all comes down to this
A penny for your thoughts would make me sick
And anything less would be a crime
Told me
Told you
Shut up
Well everything is not OK
Tomorrow's another day
I'll find my perfect way out
And then I guess you thought that you'd be smooth
And make me look like I'm another fool
Well I don't care 'cause I don't believe anything you say or do
Just like me
I cut my losses to save face
I've found my perfect space
To crawl back inside of myself
And then I guess you tried to make me be
Everything you wanted me to be
Well look up from the ground and see who's laughing last
I do what it takes to pull me through
No thanks to anything that you could do
Never trust again
