[Intro: Jules]

Yeah

Ms. Jackson, my intentions were good, I wish I could

Ms. Jackson, my intentions were good, I wish I could

Yeah

Ms. Jackson, my intentions were good, I wish I

Look

[Verse 1: Jules]

Running this race with few supporters to endorse us

Believe in beating the odds in this course without cutting corners

A small town dude, but my dreams are enormous

Working hard in hopes these big city lights will shine upon us

But for my family sake, I kindly do the honors

Work endlessly through these nights, losing sleep just to change our life

Critiquing each bar I write, obsessing to get it right

And no need to worry momma, I promise, I'll be alright

And I know I barely call, but I'm older, those days behind us

Your overdue hospital bills serve as daily reminders

Of what I need to focus on, you struggling on your own

So I'm spending all my time just to make this music timeless

So I can bring us both those better days

With nice views and some better shade, less dues and better pay

I can't ignore what destiny has in store

And pardon my absence, but these dreams I can't be tardy for

But time I'm spent providing is time from them I'm denying

Hear anger in my mother's voice, but inside I know she's crying

Saying, "I never hear from you, why you do me like that?"

And though I know it's a good reason, it's hard to answer her back

So when truth speaks the loudest, I just silence the facts

Ignoring those call logs is just a balancing act

In fact, to be honest, the only times I really call

Is when I see her missed calls and I'm just calling her back, man

Make it worst, I haven't wrote my brother lately

Avoiding grabbing that pen until finally guilt makes me

This now becomes a trend, so every letter that I send

Starts with apologies and thoughts of how he probably hates me

This is my life, I just hope that I'm forgiven

'Cause when choices are permitted, always best to skip permission

Look me in my eyes, I'm only just a man

Take me for who I am, I hope they understand

[Chorus: Jules, Nina, & Both]

Who knew love could hurt ones you do love

Just look what all can happen when you abuse love, say

My intentions, it's my intentions

Tare your world apart was never in my intentions, hey

Who knew love could hurt ones you do love

Just look what all can happen when you abuse love, say

My intentions, it's my intentions

Tare your world apart was never in my intentions, hey

Tare your world apart was never in my intentions (Never in my intentions)

No

Who knew love, love, love (Ms. Jackson, my intentions were good, I wish I)

(Ms. Jackson, my intentions were good, I wish I)

[Verse 2: Jules]

Dear Ms. Wonderful, thank you for your support

And your honesty, two things I never could sell short

All credit's given to you, you guided me on this path

Just take away what you added, a dummy can do that math

And my token from me to you is just to make you proud

Remember that New Year's Eve I grabbed you from the crowd?

And I went and played you my music, and Lord knows I was nervous

Hoping that you would love it and hoping this isn't worthless

To my surprise, it was worth it, you told me I had a purpose

Bought into my dreams, can't believe you believed in me

You showed your faith by love with every ounce you squeezed in me

Said I'm working with something that's big like Lil' Cease in me

You done a lot, so now I'm paying you back tenfold

But it's hard for me to pull you up when my 'ends low

Give me a chance to show your effort's not in vain

Plotting moves to make some change, just for us to make a change

But when I'm showing respect, all she see is neglect

'Cause the more I pour in the music, the more that we disconnect

Saying, "Why I need your money when my heart you can't protect?

All I want from you is you, nothing more, keep your check"

And when that stress starts building and boils over

And now our days are filled with less thrills and cold shoulders

Never noticed how less becomes more as you grow older

Never fought before, but now we at war, over and over

Yeah, so now we back in this predicament

Where we argue every time we kicking it

Man, when those negatives get exposed

And your anger develops slow, it never ends the way you pictured it

Un momento, baby, slow up your tempo

You fighting for a slice of my heart, that's word to Kimbo

Some things I wish that I could take back just like a rental

But it's not that simple, and you just screaming out your mental like
