Zero

I don’t mind, rushing through traffic just to get dinner ready in time

And I, don’t mind, calling when I’m late just to give you peace of mind

And I, don’t mind, you staying out all night long hanging with the guys

But I do mind, when you look me right dead in the eye and you tell me lies

You see it pays to tell the truth

Look at what you had to loose

Should think before you do, did you not know the rules?

You see it pays to tell the truth, feel so sorry for you

You could've had it all, too bad you gotta fall

Now you leave, now you leave with zero (nothing)

Now you leave with zero (nada)

Now you leave with zero

You see it pays to tell the truth but you didn’t do it

Now you live with zero (nothing)

Now you leave with zero (oh nada)

Now you leave with zero

You see it pays to tell the truth

Oh why I tried, giving you chances just to get your act right

And I, I tried, everything from praying to breaking things

For getting out of line

Those tears I've cried, they hurts so deep inside

That almost drained me dry

But now, it’s time, for you to man up cause I’m taking back what’s mine

You see it pays to tell the truth look at what you had to loose

Should think before you do, did you not know the rules?

You see it pays to tell the truth, feel so sorry for you

You could have had it all, too bad you gotta fall

Now you leave, now you leave with zero (nothing)

Now you leave with zero (nada)

Now you leave with zero

You see it pays to tell the truth but you didn’t do it

Now you leave with zero (nothing)

Now you leave with zero (oh nada)

Now you leave with zero

You see it pays to tell the truth

I lie just to protect you, never to disrespect you

Cause what we have was so 38 special

And it was times that I heard niggas test you

But I ain’t even ask, I was just waiting to catch you

But you caught me and everything was on me

It was time to face the music, everything was on key

And them lies sounded good, didn’t it

Now you sick of me, now I’m supposed to leave with zero, is you kidding me?

One minus one equals none

And if you gonna live then you might live with some

But you gonn think about me every time you see my son

And I’ma think about you every time I see the sun, in the morning

It’s gonna be times we get caught up in the moment

But don’t turn your back on your man you belong with

Cause if you loose then I loose too

But if you cool then I’m cool too

Now you leave, now you leave with zero (with nothing)

Now you leave with zero, (oh nada)

Now you leave with zero

You see it pays to tell the truth but you didn’t do it

Now you leave with zero, (oh nothing)

Now you leave with zero (oh nada)

Now you leave with zero

You see it pays to tell the truth.
