Intro 1
(D major) (A major) (E minor) (D major) (C major) (D major)
Verse 1
The (D major) art of was a woman
But I got my own whips,
own chips, own cribs
And I don't need this shit here
The art of was a woman
To be dependent on you,
I'm an independ (A major) ent woman
(D major) I'm sorry homie that you
The art of was a woman
To just settle for promises
that you never kept
Thought I would fail,
but you won't, cause
It's all because of love
But you've been moving fast,
the truth is you lost
(A major) I paid a (D major) cost to do whatever I want, yeah
He thought I was Virgin Mary,
sweet as a nun
Wanted (A major) to marry (D major) me with hopes
that I would carry his son
Or his daughter,
he thought I (F sharp minor) oughta (D major) stay out of the (A major) party
(D major) Stay in the house,
be lonesome and talk to nobody
(F sharp minor) Be (D major) cooped up for the longest
(F sharp minor) with (D major) nothing but time
Misery, (A major) (D major) love, company,
but it ain't no friend of mine
I cooked and cleaned
like a Hebrew (F sharp minor) slave (D major)
Till I got (A major) blister (D major) s
A modern -day Ms. Sealy flew,
then he was my mister
But I woke up one day,
started to get real slick
(A major) Called (D major) a couple of my friends
with a few scenarios
Felt like I danced with a devil
Didn't wanna be unhappily married
No (F sharp minor) more had to (D major) go real quick (A major)
Cause it's my time,
(D major) and I done made up my (F sharp minor) mind
Shantay, (D major) gotta leave you behind
(A major) Forgive (D major) my dog,
cause half (A major) of that's mine
(F sharp minor) And give (D major) my drawer a helper
when it don't get sunshine
You thought I wouldn't make it,
but I'm living proof
Do unto others as you have
(F sharp minor) mother (D major) fuckers do unto you
You thought I wasn't one
But I got my own whips,
own chips, own creds
And I don't need this shit here
You thought I wasn't one
To be dependent on ya,
I'm an in (A major) dependent woman
(D major) I'm sorry homie that you
You thought I was (F sharp minor) n't (D major) one
To just settle for (F sharp minor) prom (D major) ises
that you never kept
Thought I would fail, but you won't cause
You thought I wasn't one
But you've been proven false,
the truth is you (A major) lost
I paid (D major) a cost to do whatever I want, oh
She was my ace, boom, cool
In high school, we grew up together
You fucked with her, I'd fight you
And vice versa
From (F sharp minor) class (D major) to choir re (A major) hearsal
Tot (D major) in' book bags,
slayin' them sacks
Beatin' up all the hood rats
Rollin' off with the richest
(F sharp minor) niggas on (D major) the block
And bringin' their whips (A major) back
But (D major) things changed
When I started to rap
Jealousy kicked in
She wasn't bein' my friend
She wasn't even lookin' out
when I was down and alone
She ain't even had time
to call me on the phone to say hello
So (F sharp minor) goodbye, (D major) like God,
you'll never get a piece of my love again,
don't try
My (A major) love is (D major) everlasting,
like Tony Terry, I'm very territ (F sharp minor) orial
(D major) And I'm overprotective
to niggas I love,
(A major) cause I respect them
(D major) But not this hella,
she took things in a different direction
(A major) I can't (D major) protect her
when it's said and done, (F sharp minor) she is
(D major) I am not the one,
I need loyal buddies,
supportive of me, worried for me
Breaking my trust can get ugly,
so please (A major) don't mis (D major) take my
kindness for weakness
As (F sharp minor) I (D major) stalk through the trenches
on this tedious journey
I'm so hot my feet burning
and you keep yearning
To (A major) be a (D major) part of my life
but (F sharp minor) you done fucked it (A major) up permanently
Now it (D major) don't concern me no more
I'm an awesome woman
But I got my own whips,
own chips, own cribs
And I don't need this shit here
I'm an awesome woman
To be dependent on ya
I'm an independ (A major) ent woman
(D major) I'm sorry homie that you
I'm an awesome woman
To just settle for promises
that you never kept
(A major) Thought I (D major) would fail, but you won't,
cause I thought I was the one
What you been through been false,
the truth is you lost
I (A major) paid the (D major) cost to do whatever I want
Yeah (A major)
(D major) Said (A major) I thought I was the one
Thought (D major) I was
I said I thought
Thought I was
You thought it was me
(A major) Yeah (F sharp minor) (D major)
(A major) (D major)
(E minor) (D major)
But I got my own (F sharp minor) whips, (D major)
own chips, (A major) own crib (D major) s
And I don't need this shit here
To be depend (F sharp minor) ent on (D major) ya,
I'm an independent woman
I'm sorry, homie, that you
So just settle for (F sharp minor) prom (D major) ises
that you never kep (A major) t,
thought (D major) I would fail,
but you won't cause
What you've been through been false,
the truth is you lost,
(A major) I paid (D major) the cost to do whatever
I want (A major) (D major) (A major) (D major)
(A major) (D major)
You
I Was the One
