Lyrics for Album: Lost And Found [2005]
THIS IS A TRUE STORY
Loretta, wrote a love letter to a stranger
Thought that he would change her life
Thought she would be his wife, oh Loretta
Never ever meant him no danger, her love for him sustained her
Thought that he would change her life
Miss Loretta, a young girl, I never really met her
A fun girl, a real go-getter, I heard a gold Jetta
A full with books & herb or so I'm told, hooked on my every word
Oh so bold, a love letter cleverly worded in a jacket pocket
Wrapped inside a platinum locket
In the shape of a heart with pictures of me
Had it inscribed, "No us, no him then no me"
She fell in love with the Prince of Bel-Air
Fantasy was to see me and to be with me there
So she wrote a love letter to me and then she signed it, "Loretta"
Said, "I gotta go get him, Will is my soulmate"
We gotta be together, how could we not be together
But wait, if I send the letter
I mean, how will I be sure if they give it to him
What if they don't give it to him, that would ruin everything
I gotta take it to him myself
Loretta, wrote a love letter to a stranger
Thought that he would change her life
Thought she would be his wife, oh Loretta
Never ever meant him no danger, her love for him sustained her
Thought that he would change her life
She packed all that she owned into the back of her Jetta
Her backpack, her cellphone and a love letter
Most of her stuff was done up with pictures of me on it
With the phrase, "It's gonna be" on it
Her mother begging her, please come home and then Loretta resenting her
"Leave me alone Ma! I won't leave my destiny unfulfilled"
You're just jealous because Daddy ain't as sweet as my Will" [click]
To the front gate at NBC, in June and July, backstage at MTV
She would drive anyplace that they'd mention I'd be
Told herself, strive for love and God eventually
He would give me to her and her to me, this was meant to be
Fourteen months outside every event that I'd be at
She'd still keep missing me
And now she's getting high with more frequency now
Rage rumbling inside, got to be with me now
Then she heard I married Jada, she took her love letter out and wrote down
"P.S., I hate her"
Loretta, wrote a love letter to a stranger
Thought that he would change her life
Thought she would be his wife, oh Loretta
Never ever meant him no danger, her love for him sustained her
Thought that he would change her life
Kodak Center, where the Oscars is at
She's asleep, getting woke up by the cops in the back
By a dumpster, didn't even greet 'em with fear
Grinning ear to ear, said "My husband's meeting me here"
"You know him, he's nominated for his flick 'Ali'
And it'll be hell to pay if you pick on me!"
"Don't put that stick on me! Hell no I'm not leaving, get your hands
Off me, don't make those things click on me!!"
Kicking and screaming, "You intervening, this is fate
Mister, what you mean that I ain't?"
"What you mean it seems like I ain't"
"Ooh, you're like my Mom and our love is gonna survive ya'll hate
God gon' take me to my destiny"
"Ya'll only seeing one side of me, Will gon' see the rest of me
He gon' see the best of me"
"If I could only get him next to me
He gon' bring my blessings to me, I know it"
Loretta, wrote a love letter to a stranger
Thought that he would change her life
Thought she would be his wife, oh Loretta
Never ever meant him no danger, her love for him sustained her
Thought that he would change her life
