Story Behind the Song
This song has a really interesting concept. You really have to listen to it a few times to understand. Xcal raps about his X Girl...and at first glance youd think hes talking about a person but in actuality hes talking about the world and his relationship with it before he got saved. He starts by talking about how close they were and how when he was with her he use to feel like he had to buy expense things to impress her. But here, hes actually referring to the world and how people often feel they need material things in order to feel valorized and happy. In the second verse Xcal starts to notice a few odd things about his ex girlfriend. For one she never gets upset and she seems to encouraging him to do things which deep down he knows are wrong. Finally in the third verse hes found a new friend in the Lord and Saviour Jesus Christ.
Lyrics
(Chorus)
My ex girl, my ex girl.
She was my ex girl.
Use to be tight, but now I see the Light
My ex girl, my ex girl, my ex girl (Repeat)
(Verse One)
Me and this girl use to be cool in the day/
We would always to be together like rain and the weather/Like pain, hers was mine/
Didnt matter if I was all alone, she was on my mind./We use to get it on like Marvin Gaye/Hey, I aint goin lie, I wasnt always saved/Its sad, but its reality, the life I had/In all honesty, sometimes it hurts inside of me/But, back to the story, me and this girl were so tight/I thought wed be together for life/We use to walk hand in hand/And looking back, I kinda thought that, she was kinda part of who I am/Use to make me buy expensive stuff/Had me wearing Sean John, people thought I knew Puff/I had shoes for days, cell phones and 2ways/Who would of ever thought wed part ways/
But shes my ex girl
(Chorus)
(Verse Two)
Now everything seemed fine with me and ex/
She was a dime and never really seem to get vex/Me and ex go back along time/When I met her, I was like eight or nine/She use to call me late nights while TV/Lock the door, make sure mom was asleep/Then, we would talk on the internet/She was the first one to tell me it was cool to get intimate/My ex, yeah shes kind of funny/She said shed make me happy just as long as I get money/Long as I never lie, to her at least/She said she wouldnt even mind if I cheat/I dont know man, it seemed too easy/Why this girl always acts like its her dream to please me/Somethings telling me that somethings not right/Cause you never get something for nothing cause thats life.
(Chorus)
(Verse Three)
Nowadays we dont talk really but she keeps calling me/Telling me, we can get back together, but nah/I got the Lord in my life, until the end/So things will never be the same again/I cant do the things I use to/Sorry miss I gotta let you loose/
Cuz now I got a new friend(JESUS)
