[One Republic:] 
I'm holdin' on your rope 
Got me ten feet off the ground 
And I'm hearin' what your sayin' 
But I just can't make a soundd 
You tell me that you need me 
Then you go and cut me downn 
But waaiiitt; 
You tell me that you're sorry 
Didn't think I'd turn aroundd 
And sayyy 

[Lil' Wayne] 
Okay, I'm talkin' about a 
Good girl, gone bad 
Crooked world, wrong path 
Right Mom, wrong Dad 
I sing this song mad, but not mad enough to shoot you 
But it just eats me up, like some bbq from Luther's 
In the mornin' with the roosters 
On the corner with the boosters 
And she's the freshcut and they're on her like sutures 
And I wanna talk to her 
But her Mama has to school her 
I wanna see her better 
She's the weather of my future 
I don't wanna see another hurricane 
Baby you can kill the pain 
If you just let me explain 
Trust me I know what I'm sayin' 
You will end up on the track of an oncoming train 
Stuck in the passenger seat 
Travlin' through the fast lane 

[Bun B] 
Well once upon a time, there was a Mom and a Dad 
Who on the outside had everything people wished they had 
A beautiful daughter, two story house, two car garage 
And a white picket fence wrapped around the front yard 
See Daddy was a doctor 
And Mommy was a banker 
Mommy's job got outsourced 
So now Mommy's dranker 
Daddy had a malpractice suit 
Now he's a snorter 
And all this shit's takin' place 
Right in front of their daughter 
She says, “Daddy what's wrong?” 
But he's just too high 
“Mommy what we gon' do?” 
She just get drunk and cry 
Caught in the middle of two wrongs, tryin' to do right 
Lookin' for answers alone in the darkness of night 
They say...

Got me ten feet off the groundd 
And I'm hearin' what your sayin 
But I just can't make a soundd 
You tell me that you need me 
Then you go and cut me downnn, 
But waaiiitt 
You tell me that you're sorry 
Didn't think I'd turn arooound 
And sayyy 

That it's too latee to apologizee 
It's too lateee 
I said it's too latee to apologizee 
It's too lateee
