Meet you downstairs, in the bar and heard Your rolled up sleeves and your skull T-shirt You say, why did you do it with him today? And sniff me out like I was Tanqueray. Yeah, yo, why you acting like you more trouble than Tony Starks and You need to just 'walk away' like Kelly Clarkson I know, we was free to sleep around town But I figured you said that, that's how I get down Nah of course, you was out there, messing around I would of told you, once you go Ghost, you never go back Try G'ing me, like I don't know how to mack I'm a don, and, top of the line, I stay flying Stop trying, to keep cuff analyzing Using my credit cards to buy diamonds We need to straighten this out, get to the bottom of it all Let's crawl, before we start the war Begin with two reasons why we need to talk And stop popping up in my cribs all over New York And, that's stalking, you such trouble and no good Them fighting words in my block, when we in the hood I cheated myself, like I knew, I would... I told you, I was trouble... And know, that I'm no good You had to be a nasty girl and try to play me Nasty girl, nasty girl, try to play me Aiyo, I knew you was trouble when I first laid eyes on you Temperature's so hot, the heat just rise with you Let me ride with you, talk about your mistakes You cheated yourself but these are the breaks And it never be the same again, cause of old boy But oh boy, together we make so much joy In the sands and oh, what a wet, wee-wee But you played me, so I had to roll up my sleeves and Hunt you down, holding the next man's stacks Now you sorry, tryin' bring that old thing back and Act like we can rekindle that flame It's a shame, how you can't get me off the brain He that lame, you love how I bring the pain Got the rug burns stinging and you saying my name Say my name (Ghost!), that's right, I'm high post Get the champagne, love, word up, we goin' toast You had to be nasty girl and try to play me Nasty girl, girl... You can't leave the kid... can't leave the kid... Don't worry, I'ma be around forever, nasty girl... Don't forget, I'ma be around forever, nasty... Don't forget, I'ma be around forever... Sweet reunion, Jamaica and Spain We're like how we we're again I'm in the tub, you're on the sink Lick your lips, as I soak my feet Yo, get the bath and body works, pumping your spice creams Together like Cheech and Chong, we make nice dreams Fight scenes, I take the good with the bad 'Cause you give the best brains that I ever had and Anything worth having is hard to keep I love you like my coffee so hot and so sweet So let's, stick it out, so we never regret it I could forgive the past, but I never forget it Got to forgive the past, but I never forget it Nasty girl... nasty girl... try to play me Nasty girl, you had to be a nasty and try to play me Nasty girl... try to play me, try to play me Nasty girl, got to forgive the past, but I never forget it...
