M.O.A.N. (Missed Opportunities And Negligence) - K Rino

All alone, gazing at the stars at home, thoughts are gone

Thinking of a girl who used to kiss the ground I walked upon

Still I didn’t lift her up, thought her love was bottomless

I never appreciated her level of tolerance

Verbally abusive with her, kept her feeling low and used her

Partners told me man you better treat her right before you lose her

She ain’t going nowhere fool, wisdom I ain’t try’na listen

Came home one day looked around, all her clothes and stuff was missing

Why she playin, let me call her, we goin add this drama out

Cell phone number disconnected, bet she at her mama house

Waited for her day and night, she need to get off the gas

Sitting around still waiting, two years and a month done passed

Realizing my foolish ways, too late now but after while

Seen her at a restaurant, with her husband and a child

Now since I’m a wiser man, I’m happy to see her free

Even though it seems like she got better after leaving me

WOW

Can you believe that?

Can you believe that?

I never would have conceive that

It make me wanna (MOAN)

Missed Opportunities And Negligence

Didn’t cherish what I had and hurting from it ever since

(It make me wanna moan)

Self-inflictive digits I was falling in

Would have done it different if I had to do it all again (Moan)

Sometimes I moan

Sometimes we moan

Sometimes I moan

Sometimes we…

He was tryna be a hustler get a street diploma

Fascinated by them chromes they make out on the corner

Everybody said them streets goin be the death of you

Mad cause mama fussing, she just want the best for you

Youngsta thought he knew it all, can’t nobody tell em nothing

Ever since I could remember, lil' daddy been selling something

Jammed him up a couple times, own homies dropping dimes

Made it through without a scratch, still ain’t recognize the signs

Met a chick out on the street, hooked up and begun to love her

Brought her in the middle of his business, put no one above her

He got busted went to jail, thought she be the one to suffer

Seen his woman at the trial, found out she a undercover

Didn’t save no cash for lawyers, court appointed worst defenders

Judge gave him 11 years, crazy for a first offender

Bailiff let him out the room, down the hall and straight to prison

Mama’s word resonating in his memory, 'you should’ve listened'

Years ago this fella had a son but didn’t stay to name him

Had him from a girl he didn’t love so he refuse to claim him

She was just another victim that he smashed killing time

His own mama said the baby looked just like him, still denying

She promised it was his child, every night she cry and cry

Anytime she ask for money, he would leave her high and dry

Finally she said forget it, even thought that stance was hard

She gave up and let him make it, put it in the hands of God

Now the child is getting older, hanging with the other kids

Broke his mother’s heart when he would ask her who is father is

Had no answers years passed, he removed it from his thoughts

Mama raised him well, making grades and real good in sports

Scholarships, grown scouts, TV man he blowing up

Looking like he 'bout to make it, here come daddy showing up

Son said where ya been?

You can’t ease back in my life again

I don’t need you now you should of came when I needed you then
