In the Open (Radio Edit)

In the open (Yeah)
There is nothing left to hide

Full tank of gas as
I smash down memory lane
I forgot a lot but
I remember your pain
I don't remember them h***
I couldn't tell you their name
I gave you, every reason to leave
But still you remain
I should be ashamed but
I'm more impressed
By what we became
I still remember when your
Parents didn't care for Jermaine
Look at us now
Exceeding expectations is an understatement
Despite embarrassment
I caused you with my engagements
I moved to Georgia while you was Memphis
Back and forth on 78 like
I'm playing tennis
Found out that you were pregnant
Had to make some decisions
Meanwhile, I was young
Dumb and afraid commitment
Found myself chasing money
Followed by a few b******
Which later became my
Very own bane of existence
Separated, but they say
The heart grow fonder with distance
My personal trainer
How you build my
Strength through resistance
I wanna say I'm sorry
For parts of your heart that was broken
My apologies for the
Problems and lack of emotion
Selfish approaches, romantically hopeless
But we stayed focus
Ain't nothing left to hide, it's all out in the open

Everything's out in the open (Yeah)
There is nothing left to hide
Everything's out in the open (Yeah)
There is nothing left to hide

Feelings were hurt, lies were told
But low and behold
From those days forward
To have and to hold
For better or worse, richer or poorer
In sickness and health
For long as we shall live
And even after the death
And the things that I can't do by myself
You see to it
When my vision's not clear from the fog
You see through it
When the sounds of life
Get too distorted, you EQ it
And any time a nigga get wrong, you review it
You carried my kids
Help carry my burdens
Give care when I'm hurting
Never materialistic, don't care bout a Birkin
When the road that we was
Traveling got rocky and curvy
You never left the excursion
You help create the diversions
I could've been alone and deserted
But that's not the verdict
Got on some clown s***
And you remind me, this not a circus
We not airing dirty laundry
We providing the detergent
Started out in the hood
But all our kids suburban
Below and above the surface
It never was perfect
But always worth it
That's why I signed my name in cursive
The sun is out, open the blinds
And pull back the curtains
Cuz everything is out in the open
Forever, I'm certain

Everything's out in the open (Yeah)
There is nothing left to hide
Everything's out in the open (Yeah)
There is nothing left to hide
