C-c-catch one, brodie
Options, I got plenty options
Girl, you know I'm fuckin' wit' you
As long as you ain't fuckin' with the opps and talkin' to the cops
You gotta choose (girl, you gotta pick a side)
This ain't no tennis match, ain't no back and forth (no)
You can't hold a nigga down, what you in it for? (Who?)
Who jersey you got on? Who you playin' for, girl?
(Girl, you gotta pick a side)
Girl, you gon' choose or lose, choose or lose (ooh)
Girl, you gotta pick a side
You gon' have to choose or lose, choose or lose (ooh)
Girl, you gotta pick a side
From Omaha, Nebraska to Alaska (to Alaska)
She gon' give me what I want when I ask her
Used to fuck her all night when the winter came
Lotta long strokes when I'm in her, mayne
And when the sun come up
Dick hard as a rock, she still wanna fuck
You might pay to play, I don't fall for that
The next bitch is on my line, I ain't calling back (fuck her)
And I'm her favorite, you know it's me
But I don't want it if it ain't no loyalty
So when you say you wanna go with me
It's for the win, even if it's four to three
(Let's get this money, baby) let's get this money
Choose up, baby (ooh-ah)
Are you about to lose somethin', baby? (Ooh-ah)
Huh, I'm in here fuckin' blues up, baby (ooh-ah)
I'm politickin' like I'm Newsom, baby (like I'm Newsom, baby)
Where I'm from, the shit get gruesome, baby (gruesome, babe)
That's why I'm blowin' a bag down on Melrose (ooh-ah)
I can't keep a bad bitch off me like she velcro
Baby, it's 'cause of how I kick game like a shell toe
Ask your 'net friends 'bout my name, it's well-known
If I put a bird in their ear, they all gone
Play your cards right, we'll bounce out, get our ball on
Play your cards right, we'll bounce out, get our ball on
Options, I got plenty options
Girl, you know I'm fuckin' wit' you
As long as you ain't fuckin' with the opps and talkin' to the cops
You gotta choose (girl, you gotta pick a side)
I go here, there, everywhere, just stackin' more
But one place that I won't go is back and forth
With a bitch that ain't paid dues and a little confused
You better choose, only so much that a nigga can do (mm, mm)
Study long, study wrong
You can't make it with just head alone
From young and pretty to sexy grown
I got too many options, I'm headed home
Now she wanna tug on my coattail and slide to the hotel
Turned around and told that bitch "No deal"
Yes, I am for real
Pick a side and we can hit the spot
But in the back of your mind, just know a nigga got
Options, I got plenty options
Girl, you know I'm fuckin' wit' you
As long as you ain't fuckin' with the opps and talkin' to the cops
You gotta choose (girl, you gotta pick a side)
This ain't no tennis match, ain't no back and forth (no)
You can't hold a nigga down, what you in it for? (Who)
Who jersey you got on? Who you playin' for, girl?
(Girl, you gotta pick a side)
Girl, you gon' choose or lose, choose or lose (ooh)
Girl, you gotta pick a side
You gon' have to choose or lose, choose or lose (ooh)
Girl, you gotta pick a side
