She was a hot-blooded woman, he never saw [bad word] 
She hit him from a side that’s blind.
She never gave a warning. He woke up in the morning
Laying there next to his bride.
He got a little crazy when she had a little baby
‘Coz it filled him fatherly pride.
But a couple years later when their love started fading
It hurt so bad he nearly died.

It’s been a long time since I was faithful.
It’s been a long time since I was grateful.
It’s been a long time since I could look you in the eye.
It’s been a long time since I was grateful.

She’s a mother with a daughter sitting by the water
‘Coz it’s better for her baby to breathe.
She got her menace in prison ‘coz he didn’t wanna listen,
Now he’s sitting waiting on a reprieve.
And she loves the little baby but she get a little crazy
‘Coz it’s harder than she ever can see.
He left her on her own but she's doing it alone
‘Coz she loves him like you wouldn't believe.

It’s been a long time since I was faithful.
It’s been a long time since I was grateful.
It’s been a long time since I could look you in the eye.
It’s been a long time since I was grateful.

He’s a friend and a lover, husband and a brother,
He’s always been a protocol son.
He gets a lot of drama when he goes to see his mama
‘Coz he curses like a son of a gun.
He’s begging to his lady, let him see his baby,
He swears that she’s the only one.
He’s got a heart full of sorrow, he’s living for tomorrow
And he’s sorry for the damage he’s done.

It’s been a long time since I was faithful.
It’s been a long time since I was grateful.
It’s been a long time since I could look you in the eye.
It’s been a long time since I was grateful.
Grateful...
