Ashanti Shequoiya Douglas(born October 13, 1980 in Glen Cove, New York), professionally known as Ashanti, is a Grammy Award-winning American singer, songwriter, record producer, actress, model, and fashion designer who rose to fame in the early 2000s. She is most famous for her eponymous debut album Ashanti which featured the hit song "Foolish", and sold 503,000 copies (Gold) in its first week on release in the USA in April 2002, a record breaking feat. In the same week, she became the first female performer to simultaneously hold the top two places on the Billboard Hot 100 singles chart with "Foolish", and "What's Luv" (with Fat Joe). She broke records again by having three Top Ten songs (Foolish, What's Luv, & Always on Time (with Ja Rule)) on the Billboard Hot 100 charts in the same week. Ironically, Ashanti wrote and sang background on the song "Ain't It Funny" sung by Jennifer Lopez which was also in the top 10 charts at the same time as "Foolish", "Always on Time" (with Ja Rule) and "What's Luv" (with Fat Joe).

Leaving (Always On Time Part II) Lyrics

Ashanti

[Bridge]
If you were me what would you do always a lie,
and never the truth now as for me I'm moving on
You'll always be my baby.
[Chorus]
Baby I just got to let you go for now,
thought I could take it for a while maybe.
You'll make it back around baby I just got to live my life.
And now can't see me changing for a while hope I could make it back around.
[Verse 1]
Anything that I want I can get it boy.
You know you turn me on and on that's why I switch my
frame of mind of being there when you call always on time.
I'm looking to spread my wings and party,
from everything and for everybody,
need my space my time alone its like our hearts don't match no more,
still everything that you want you could get it boy.
You know I still got love for
you in court I plea the fifth my baby.
[Chorus]
[Verse 2]
When you was cheating you was probably thinking I won't sense a thing
but love a funny way of catching up
To lies and your lies can't look me straight in the eyes I'm not surprised that you
would hurt me baby but why me baby just let me breathe
and I'll fly free babe.
[Bridge]
[Chorus]
[Ja Rule]
Yo Yo
Why in the world would you wanna leave me girl is there
Something I did that you feel is better then whats here at home
and I know a bitch could do bad on her own you're not alone
The way you hurt me baby shit why me baby
I be in pain a little but I know that love is real and as
long as it lets you go you feel the need to come back to me baby
who else would hold you and sex
you crazy R.U.L.E come on back holla at me baby.
[Chorus 2x]
[Bridge]
