Yeah
Hm, hm, hey, what's up girl?
Hey
Yeah
Uh, angel eyes, long hair
I see you cryin', what's wrong there
He did what? He fucked who?
We know the story, what's new?
See I could probably, rush you
Tell you that he should have loved you
Take advantage, fuck you
Tell you I'll do all the shit he wouldn't do
But the truth is, we all the same
On different teams, but it's all a game
The objective, tryna score
You got a wife, you find a whore
You fuck her fast, she find her drawers
Pull up her pants, you find the door
You drive her home, she mop you off
You bust again, and drop her off
Then repeat like an episode
Why we cheat? I'll never know
Is it 'cause we rap? Heavens no
Lotta niggas rap though, never blow
Like heterosexual, girl you fine, from head to toe
Could it be 'cause my father let me know
That he cheated, and somehow I never told
I never told
Hey, you wanna be a man?
Yeah, I wanna be a man
A man don't run tellin' mama everything he see
I ain't gonna tell
Alright, a-alright then man, be a man then
Oh
Okay, that's what it is, I see the game
The hoes come, the seasons change
The hoes go, we rearrange
Fuck up her life, she'll never be the same
The OG's that beat the game
Forever young, Peter Pan
35? Still playin', child support? Still payin'
Jugglin', bill payin'
Been runnin' 'round, field dayin'
Wine and dine, meal payin'
With hopes that she'll land
The bed and, get wet then, give head then
You bet man, the same girl who said we just met man
Game colder than the fuckin' dead man
One night stands, no best man
No bridesmaids, or reverends
'Cause Wolverine's depressin', don't wanna be your ex-man
'Cause cupid aims and throw the darts
There go the sparks then broken hearts
Who wanna build Noah's Ark
Just to have that shit torn apart?
You know what? I need to talk to you
About what?
I don't think this is, working out for us
Why?
I mean, I need some space
I mean no, I just wanna find myself, that's all
What the fuck?
You know
