Pete Rock
The Ex
[Intro: J Dilla]
Yes, Big Dilla, P*** R***, Bilal
Here it is, uh
Yeah, it's for you, uh, hey

[Verse 1: J Dilla & Bilal]
Hey, remember me? Take a look, baby
Yes it's your ex—he off the hook, ain't he?
I'm doing my thing, thanks, you did me a favor
I'm through with the games and straight with the silly behavior
And I knew it was over, I was hoping it worked
See I can't go to work with you going berserk
You going through shirts, you scoping for dirt
And what's worse—you searching to only get hurt
And no I don't flirt with every pro in a skirt
I'm better than that, I'm trying to get this cheddar to stack
You steady thinking about what I did in the bed to you
And if I'm hitting other women instead of you
See we can't grow close to not get along
They say you don't know what you got til it's gone
It's hard to move on but we gave it a chance
And because you wasn't ready for a man
(Re—) You left me

[Chorus: Bilal & J Dilla]
—member (Okay)
Remember you left me (Yeah)
So let me free
Re-member (Please! Uh, it's for you)
Remember you left me
So let me free (Re— please! Uh)
[Verse 2: Bilal]
You got it all glistened up
In your own way I got mixed up (Mixed up)
Ain't heard from you
In such a long time (Long time)
Hey, let me pull over (Pull over)
You're still looking good, doing well
You said you saw me in that last magazine
Well, I'm doing good

[Chorus: Bilal & J Dilla]
Re-member (Yeah, yeah, yeah)
Remember you left me (Left me)
So let me free (Let me free! Yeah, uh)
Re-member (Uh, hey, it's for you)
Remember you left me (Left me free)
So let me free (Let me free! Yeah, yeah)
I do, remember you left me
So let me free (Let me free!)

[Verse 3: J Dilla & Bilal]
Well, let it be a lesson to you for choosing to jet
I'm through with the stress of messing with you
One second you're cool and you're foolin' the next
And who would've guessed the best you could do
(Re—) Was leave me
[Chorus: Bilal & J Dilla]
—member (Uh, yeah, it's for you)
Remember you left me
So let me free! (Yeah, uh)
I do (It's your man)
Remember you left me (Dilla Dawg)
So let me free! (Pete Rock, Bilal, uh)

[Outro: J Dilla]
That's how we do
Y'know this one of them joints
Put it in with your ex while you freaking her
Strapped up with the lubricated trojan
