yo remember back on the bully
when cats used to harmonize like
yo yo my men and my women
don’t forget about the deen
sirat almustaqeem
yo it’s about a thing uh yo yo
if ya feel real good wave your hands in the air
and lick two shots in the atmosphere
put them up put them up
put them up put them up
put them up put them up
it’s been three weeks since you were looking for your friend
the one you let hit it and never called you again
‘member when he told you he was ’bout the benjamins
you act like you ain’t hear him then give him a little trim
to begin how you think you’re really gon’ pretend
like you wasn’t down and you called him again
plus when you give it up so easy you ain’t even foolin’ him
if you did it then then you’d probably fuck again
talking out your neck sayin’ you’re a christian
a muslim sleeping with the jinn
now that was the sin that did jezebel in
who you gon’ tell when the repercussions spin
showing off your ass ’cause you’re thinking it’s a trend
girlfriend let me break it down for you again
you know i only say it ’cause i’m truly genuine
don’t be a hard rock when you really are a gem
baby girl respect is just a minimum
niggas fucked up and you still defending ’em
now lauryn is only human
don’t think i haven’t been through the same predicament
let it sit inside your head like a million women in philly penn
it’s silly when girls sell their souls because it’s in
look at where you be in hair weaves like europeans
fake nails done by koreans
come again
a win win come again
a win win come again
hook
guys you know you’d better watch out
some girls some girls are only about
that thing that thing that thing
that thing that thing that thing
the second is dedicated to the men
more concerned with his rims and his timbs than his women
him and his men come in the club like hooligans
don’t care who they offend poppin’ yang like you got yen
let’s stop pretend the ones that pack pistols by they waist men
cristal by the case men still in they mother’s basement
the pretty face men claiming that they did a bid men
need to take care of they three or four kids
and they face a court case when the child support late
money taking and heart breaking now you wonder why women hate men
the sneaky silent men
the punk domestic violence men
quick to shoot the semen stop acting like boys and be men
how you gonna win when you ain’t right within
how you gonna win when you ain’t right within
how you gonna win when you ain’t right within
come again come again
come again come again
watch out watch out

hey weve got some very intelligent women here man
do you think youre too young to really love somebody
no no no i dont think so
i say it for me uh im an adult i say wait
youre too young to be in love this is silly
youre infatuated or whatever you got nice jeans
you wear fancy adidas
i mean it might be something i dont know
it’s the difference from loving somebody and being in love with somebody
well you tell me whats the difference
okay you can love anybody but when youre in love with somebody youre looking at it like this youre taking that person for what he or she is no matter what he or she look like or no matter what he or she do
youre crazy you fall in love you can fall out of love
you might stop being in love but you are not gonna stop loving that person
maybe they aint never been loved before or been in love before they dont know what the feeling is to be loved
she poetic
she killed it we could end that conversation with that right
