"This is what it's all about! |
|
'Cause I know if I take care of you, you gon' take care of me |
|
And that's what I'm talkin', 'bout...'bout...'bout...'bout..." |
|
[Intro: Rapper Big Pooh] (Phonte) |
|
Yo (1,2) |
|
Shit (Check it out now) |
|
Tired of these hoes.. (You're now in tune to the sounds...) |
|
..talkin shit |
|
All in my business (of the finest) |
|
Runnin they mouth and shit |
|
Knahmean? (Phonte, Big Pooh, 9th Wonder) |
|
Like that |
|
I'm 'bout to let y'all know a lil' somethin |
|
(Little Brother) Me and my nigga Tay |
|
9th Wonder, y'all (Keep it goin, y'all) |
|
Yo... |
|
(On and on) |
|
Now on the outside lookin in, it's a lot easier |
|
to see why niggas like me can't win |
|
'Cause the bullshit lies in friends so-called |
|
in the middle of my shit, kind of miss you are |
|
Pissin me off to the point where, I cain't think |
|
I cain't eat, I cain't sleep - just drink |
|
And try to drown my life away |
|
Muh'fuckers keep callin - damn, go away! |
|
And let me be by myself, it's my problem, not nobody else |
|
Stop callin GNO 'cause advice won't help |
|
I'm in a tight situation, you dig? |
|
I had plans for us to grow together, have a couple of kids |
|
wit a three-story house, yard front and back |
|
Plant flowers in the spring, but you changed all that |
|
You ask where we go from here, I don't know all that |
|
All I know is right here where I'm 'sposed to be at |
|
YOU figure it out! KEEP my name outcho mouth! |
|
{Chorus: "Watchin yooou, yoooou" repeats in the background 4X} |
|
[Rapper Big Pooh overlaps] |
|
Yaknahmsayin? Stay out my shit |
|
Let me be me, let me DO me |
|
Let me do my thang, tired of you hoes |
|
Always got somethin to say, addin some extra shit (for real) |
|
Knahmsayin? I don't need your input |
|
Let me handle mine (Yaknahmsayin?) |
|
Feel me |
|
[Phonte] |
|
Ay-y-y-yo, I understand a hate for a nigga |
|
But why you have to go and turn snake on a nigga? |
|
Smile one day then get fake on a nigga |
|
Runnin, ya fuckin mouth turn states on a nigga |
|
Like, Sammy the Bull, let's examine the full |
|
spectrum of your deception, the scandalous tools |
|
That hold jewels when they wanna get fickle on you |
|
Get jealous, call wifey then drop two nickels on you |
|
Don't even act like I done shitted on you |
|
How you gon' do me like that when my woman used to ride in |
|
my deepest secrets I confide in |
|
And at your crib, I reside in when shit got hard |
|
Mom DUKES even to' me apart |
|
She said, "Boy, you might THINK she pullin for you, but it's all a facade" |
|
She ain't tryna see you get none of that free money |
|
that Baby Gap shoppin spree money |
|
That California Beni B. money |
|
"The Listening" royalty check CD money |
|
The LB, J-League money |
|
The long dough, so your family won't be hungry |
|
Sit down and takin all the wisdom that you leave from me |
|
I shoulda listened to moms |
|
Instead of all these funny niggas greasin my palms, go ring the alarm |
|
But ain't no need for me to stay around it |
|
or next verse I'm droppin GOVERNMENT NAMES and ain't gon' be so fuckin vague about it! |
|
Word up! |
|
{Chorus: "Watchin yooou, yoooou" repeats in the background 8X} |
|
[Phonte overlaps] |
|
Yaknahmsayin, man? This shit is a trip |
|
just to see how, three niggas can just come up with somethin |
|
in such a short amount of time and.. |
|
Just see all the hate that'll come out of that shit |
|
Heh, yaknahmsayin? My nigga told me one time |
|
You ever wanna know how many enemies you got |
|
think about your no-good friends and double that shit |
|
This shit is real, man..We gon' keep doin it |
|
Fuck that, LB to the end, baby |
|
Let's keep it movin |
|
It's like that, y'all... |
