This Lifetime
Written by: Michael Turner & Christopher Portugal
[Spoken sample:] She look good, man. She look good… she look good… word, she look good… but it's just that… you know…
[Double K:]
I ain't heard from you, baby, so what's happenin'
I know it's been a minute, I've been out here rappin' and
But see, you on mind everytime I see a dime, 'cause yo…
My girl… been in your mind, girl?
I'm just a part-time man, convenient on the sidepiece
Meet up on the sidestreets, love on fine linen
I guess that's all I'm givin', you say I'm wild and crazy
But never would I hesitate to make you my lady
And give you my baby, but see, you're growin' up still
And I don't wanna slow you down, you're life is all uphill
Do your thang, little mama, 'cause I will
Even though with you being on my mind that kills
Yo, it's just another shot of vodka in the glass
Yeah, it's just another love story from the past
I guess I'm too blind to see, and that's so fine with me
Back in the day, I heard about the fish in the sea
So I delete your number and go to the beach
Just wanna let you know cutie, I'm never far to reach
I wish we coulda had a little bit more
But not in this lifetime, I say no more
[Thes One:] See, in the end, we coulda been
Much more than friends
[Double K:] But not in this lifetime
But not in this lifetime
[Thes One:] There's no denying something's there
Or that you care
[Double K:] But not in this lifetime
But not in this lifetime
[Thes One:] Man, in the end, we coulda been
Much more than friends
[Double K:] But not in this lifetime
But not in this lifetime
[Thes One:]
We used to write notes, seventh grade and first kisses
Stay up late on the phone against your parents wishes
In homeroom, passing notes with Quiet Storm quotes
Long hopes, immediate dreams, it seems so long ago
But then we graduated, went our separate ways and drifted
You got plagued with self-doubt and never admitted you're gifted
And I found music, and all you found were fake friends
And we found we couldn't connect, the phone call ends
But you would stick to it, watch my fame from afar
In your passing car, two lives aligned with different stars
Now you want to reconnect, but to what? In a rendezvous?
Not telling your husband, man? I think his friends are onto you
Your tangled web woven out of satin is a knot
And I'm so tied up, unreplied messages in inbox
To the trash, before we crash, obsession with the past
A temptation overdose leads to shattered love glass
[Thes One:] See, in the end, we coulda been
Much more than friends
[Double K:] But not in this lifetime
But not in this lifetime
[Thes One:] There's no denying something's there
Or that you care
[Double K:] But not in this lifetime
But not in this lifetime
[Thes One:] See, in the end, we coulda been
Much more than friends
[Double K:] But not in this lifetime
But not in this lifetime
[Thes One:] There's no denying something's there
Or that you care
[Double K:] But not in this lifetime
But not in this lifetime
[Double K:] …And I wish things could have worked out for the better, but I guess it's all for the best, you know? No one wants to be uncomfortable in life, and everyone wants to be truthful with themselves and with the person they love, you know? So, until this next lifetime, I'll see you there…
[Sung sample:] It's déjà vu whenever I'm with you…
