Too late, too late baby, bye-bye 
I'll be there tonight 
You'll get left behind 
Now's my time to shine 

Now I got the best birthday present when my ass born 
It was my mama, old dad plant the seed like a farmer 
Life was kind of hard livin in hell's backyard 
Didn't have a job, honey fronted on the GOD 
Shorty racing, only hollering at cats who be lacin 
She had some shit with her, she was caught up in the glitter 
"Brother come see me when you get five digits bigger" 
Oh that's the way you tryin to doo-doo on a nigga 
She likes the lavish, no time for a brother livin average 
Play the knees for the cheese like a savage 
Now she lost and turned out, rotten teeth in her mouth 
'Cause she ran the wrong route 
Shorty 'member me, now I'm seven digits bigger 
Platinum artist status, mad cheese from Hilfiger 
Now ya feelin me because you're smoked out and high 
but too late baby, bye-bye 

Too late, too late baby, bye-bye 
I'll be there tonight 
You'll get left behind 
Now's my time to shine 

I wish you could have been there when I had my first fight 
The other kid said he was gonna get his father 
I didn't bother to respond 'cause I knew that you was gone 
Forced to carry on and teach myself right from wrong 
As far back as I can remember you was never around 
In September it was back to school 
The eldest member of my family so I packed the tool 
It made a nigga feel manly when I smacked a fool 
With it, could've schooled me on pussy before I hit it 
Or took me to a park with a ball and said "Hit it" 
But we was all left in the dark, accepting the parts 
Of you we was able to get, affectin my heart 
Nowadays you expecting to start, anew 
When I lived my whole life apart from you 
Too late you better check the due date 
See there's no explanation for the expiration 

Too late, too late baby, bye-bye 
I'll be there tonight 
You'll get left behind 
Now's my time to shine 

It's too late, bye-bye 
Oh bye-bye-bye-bye-bye-byeeee, yeah 
It's too late, bye-bye, oh babe 
Bye-bye-bye-bye-byeeee-bye-bye 
Bye-bye-bye-bye-byeeeee 

Niggas disrespect my crib droppin' ashes on the floor 
Another half of beer I'm findin' behind the chair 
Let you meal like you wish but you can't even wash a dish 
but you love to eat and rest them stink ass feet 
And blow up my telephone line like you was home 
Seen a nigga make five quick calls to the dome 
Ride around all day, 'Dro-ed or hash 
I ain't never heard once "Can I help you with gas?" 
I ain't never heard "X, can I buy you a meal?" 
But if we going downtown niggas is ready to wheel 
Now if you broke you broke, you got five dollars, give me one 
'Cause most likely I'll give it back before the day is done 
If I'm spendin and bending, you should do it pendin 
That day when you break out and finally get your cake 
But I don't let that stress me 'cause life is but a test, be	 
And every waken day, I'ma stay okay 

Too late, too late baby, bye-bye 
I'll be there tonight 
You'll get left behind 
Now's my time to shine
