And don't be listenin' to your homies, they be leadin' you blind
And on the topic of trust, it's just a matter of fact
And peep this ethiopian queen from philly
And that i stepped off the stage and took a piece of her heart
And that's when she flip and get on some...
And they'll forever be
Another loney night?
Baby don't worry, you know that you got me
Baby, don't worry you know that you got me
But sometimes, relationships get ill
Could be that cool cat that's whisperin'
I deal wit the real, so if it's artificial, let it be
I know you gotta get that paper daddy, keep that shit tight
If you don't worry 'bout where
Intense and shatter, she like, that shit don't matter
Is you crazy? you my king, for real
Lies come in, that's where the drama begins
Listening to they squalls and listenin' to they girlfriends
Now she in my world like hip hop, and keep telling me...
Repeat 1
Repeat 1
Repeat 1
Said she working on a flick and could my clique do the score
See i'm not your every five minutes all on the phone
Seems like i'm on the side, you only lovin' your mic
She said she know this ball player, and he think i'm pretty
She studying film in photo flash focus record
She's trying to play you for the fool, black
So when you sweatin' on state, think of me when you rhyme
Taking classes abroad
Telling me the things i'm telling her is makin' her hot
That snake could be that chick or that rat
That's exactly the point where they whole world ends
Think that dog went home and forgot?
We knew from the start that things fall apart
What club i went to with my homies
What club i went to with my homies
While politickin' with my sister from new york city
With all my classes i don't have the time for life's thrills
