[01:51.41]Wouldn't have even fought it
[01:52.82]When the group had issues
[01:53.74]I laid in thought
[01:54.86]Corrected the bad news

[02:03.61]Than you'll ever know or see
[02:04.96]So many things you don't know happened
[02:07.01]Because of me
[02:07.82]From Blaque to the designs of the stage
[02:09.53]That was me
[02:10.27]So how could any of ya'll be mad at me

[02:47.56]Has got trouble
[02:48.47]The only trouble we ever had
[02:49.73]Is you bein' involved
[02:50.92]You gettin' involved where you don't belong
[02:53.33]When my faith started to waver it was like I was done
[02:55.90]I felt like Brian McKnight I was "Back At One"
[02:58.50]The only one that was
[02:59.60]The only one that ever
[03:00.92]The only one I need
[03:02.18]The one and only me
[03:03.43]Because if I hadn't told you
[03:04.86]It was on different planes
[03:06.19]You would think that
[03:07.09]I meant our flights ain't the same
[03:08.79]My only crime was I was so blind
