Shot to the Heart Lyrics

[Chorus: Heart]
I've been lonely, I've been waiting for you
I'm pretending, and thats all I can do
The love I'm sending ain't making it through to your heart

[Verse 1: Rick Ross]
I shed tears 'cause I'm told that they'll heal
You tell the truth, I don't know how to feel
Ever felt alone in a room full of friends?
Got big plans but you leave 'em in suspense
Pray for me, patience wait for me
Pay dues, trust me they ain't comin'
Way back it was hoops, now its Maybach coupes
And we all took a vow, no squares in the loops
Now we lookin' at each other, sittin' in a court room
I'm laughin' 'cause it's lookin' like a cartoon
Never snitch, got it tattooed by Cartoon
Somebody switch, by my rules we all lose

[Chorus: Heart]
You've been hiding, never letting it show
Always trying, to keep it under control
You got it down and weathered your way to the top
But there's something that you forgot

[Verse 2: Rick Ross]
Flippin' through magazines, ridiculed for my life
But they keep takin' pictures of my jewels in the light
100 Gs in the night, entertainin' big timers
'Cause my one-liners rude as Don Imus
Smellin' rose on my breath, ask Brisco, fell asleep in his bed
Habits we developed livin' lavish, stackin' mail up
Clothes come from Big N Tall, no [?]
Gotta live life, tryna live life
Penthouse for a pimp, only drove the Benz twice
Convertible the cars, cause I murdered all of ours
Get 50 collect calls from dawgs behind bars
[Chorus: Heart & Rick Ross]
You've been hiding, never letting it show
Always trying to keep it under control
You got it down and weathered your way to the top
(Trilla, Ross)
But there's something that you forgot

[Verse 3: Rick Ross]
Fortune and fame are pleasures you couldn't fathom
But fortunately for me, my fortune built me a palace
Benjamins by the pallet, I'm spendin' 'em by the tally
I know I'm under surveillance, I look at it as a talent
Millions I gotta manage, lil talents up in there rappin'
I'm such a threat to these niggas, you never know what could happen
I started without a coin, not knowin' which way I'm goin'
Now I'm charterin' storms and readin' 'em a few poems
Weathered all of the storms, now it's time to see the light
I never felt this way bout anythin' in my life
Determined to be the best, not lookin back at regrets
How many people you blessed is how you measure success

[Chorus: Heart]
I've been lonely, I've been waiting for you
I'm pretending, and that's all I can do
The love I'm sending ain't making it through to your heart
