[00:00.00]It Wasnt You - Nas
[00:02.59]Uh huh  a love story 
[00:06.10]
[00:08.30]But not your ordinary love story
[00:09.62]
[00:12.56]Not hardly  you heard
[00:13.96]
[00:16.87]Get into this sh*t right here 
[00:18.68]Check this sh*t out
[00:19.75]You know  check it
[00:20.81]
[00:21.52]As we turn the corner 
[00:22.50]
[00:23.81]I count down his name
[00:25.34]
[00:26.00]I felt so ashamed 
[00:27.85]
[00:28.55]When it wasn't you
[00:29.88]
[00:32.48]As we turn the corner 
[00:34.29]I count down his name
[00:35.64]
[00:36.32]I felt so ashamed 
[00:38.24]
[00:38.82]When it wasn't you
[00:41.05]
[00:41.98]Companions  commitments  relationships
[00:43.54]
[00:44.15]They can be so nice in days picnics 
[00:45.96]Advance slow nights
[00:46.95]You start to miss it all when you got no wife
[00:49.27]Seeing couples  walking 
[00:50.96]Holding each others hands  talking
[00:52.52]Like everything around them don't exist
[00:53.66]
[00:54.17]And yo they stop before crossing the street
[00:56.26]So they can kiss
[00:57.26]That remind me  my love for this 'lil mami
[00:59.74]A slim body from Saudi Arabia probably (uh  huh)
[01:03.00]We met five day into her stay 
[01:04.88]A thirty day visit
[01:05.87]Her second time in the usa
[01:07.46]But my first time to gaze at her
[01:09.40]And wave at her was at knicks game
[01:11.55]Islamic name hard to spit game
[01:13.02]My thug look made nervous 
[01:14.29]Her Secret Service
[01:15.30]The floor seats next to Spike Lee 
[01:17.05]I had to purchase
[01:18.08]Later we met on Tavern on the Green
[01:19.75]And after we dined
[01:21.05]I said "I got to have you just one time"  she said
[01:23.40]As we turn the corner 
[01:24.91]
[01:25.55]I count down his name
[01:27.20]
[01:27.85]I felt so ashamed 
[01:29.66]
[01:30.37]When it wasn't you

[01:36.14]I count down his name
[01:37.53]
[01:38.12]I felt so ashamed 
[01:40.08]
[01:40.75]When it wasn't you
[01:43.69]Seduced her fast  surprised me 
[01:44.79]
[01:45.30]Laying beside me
[01:46.32]Rolling in my satin sheets  flexible body
[01:49.06]Hair  black and long  Indian skin completion
[01:50.90]
[01:51.48]Eyes  nose and lips resemble the Egyptian
[01:53.75]
[01:54.26]It's against rules to make conversation 
[01:55.84]With anybody new
[01:57.09]Which was strange in our situation 
[01:58.91]That admired her more
[02:00.17]Everyday I gave her a tour
[02:01.59]Of New York streets 
[02:02.73]The parts that remained hard-core
[02:04.08]It was coming to the day when she had to depart
[02:06.67]When she left I felt the butcher knife stabbing my heart
[02:09.23]Without a number to dial 
[02:10.79]Continent near by the Nile she reside at
[02:12.58]She said she would write 
[02:13.83]So she could fly back
[02:14.91]Private airplanes  been a year  letters never came
[02:17.51]In the short time we were together it never rained
[02:20.15]Just sun shine when our tongues climbed
[02:22.11]Each others body 
[02:23.07]Wish I can see you one time  'cause now
[02:25.79]As we turn the corner 
[02:27.00]
[02:27.59]I count down his name
[02:29.19]
[02:29.85]I felt so ashamed 
[02:31.69]
[02:32.34]When it wasn't you
[02:34.97]
[02:36.39]As we turn the corner 
[02:38.00]I count down his name
[02:39.55]
[02:40.18]I felt so ashamed 
[02:41.76]
[02:43.04]When it wasn't you
