Yo remember back on the boogie when cats used to harmonize like

yo yo My men and my women

Don't forget about the deen Sirat al-Mustaqeem

yo It's about a thing

If you're feel real good wave your hands in the air

and lick two shots in the atmosphere

uh uh Put ‘em up

uh uh Put ‘em up uh uh

It's been three weeks since you've been looking for your friend

the one you let hit it and never called you again

‘Member when he told you he was ‘bout the Benjamins

You act like you ain't hear him

then give him a little trim

To begin how you think you really gon’ pretend

like you wasn't down then you called him again

Plus when you give it up so easy you ain't even fooling him

If you did it then

then you probably effed again

Talking out your neck

sayin’ you're a Christian

a Muslim sleeping with the jinn

Now that was the sin that did Jezebel in

Who you gonna tell when the repercussions spin

Showing off your ass ‘cause you thinking it's a trend

Girlfriend let me break it down for you again

You know I only say it ‘cause I'm truly genuine

Don't be a hard rock when you really are a gem

Babygirl respect is just a minimum

and you still defending them

Now Lauryn is only human

Don't think I haven't been through the same predicament

Let it sit inside your head like a million women in Philly Penn

Silly when girls sell their soul because it's in

Look at where you be in

hair weaves like Europeans

fake nails done by Koreans

Come again Come again uh uh Come again uh uh Come again

Guys you know you better watch out

Some girls some girls are only about

that thing that thing that thing

That thing that thing that thing

The second verse is dedicated to the men

More concerned with his rims and his Timbs than his women

Him and his men come in the club like hooligans

Don't care who they offend popping yang like you got yen

Let's not pretend they wanna pack pistol by the waist men

Cristal by the case men

Still in they mother's basement

The pretty face men claiming that

they did a bid men

Need to take care of their three or four kids men

Facing a court case when the child support's late

Money taking heart breaking now you wonder why women hate men

Sneaky silent men The punk domestic violence men

The quick to shoot

Stop acting like boys and be men

How you gon’ win when you ain't right within

How you gon’ win when you ain't right within

How you gon’ win when you ain't right within

uh-uh Come again Come again uh uh Come again

hey hey Come again

Ba ba ba ba ba ba ba ba

Ba ba ba ba ba ba ba ba

Ba ba ba ba ba ba ba ba

Ba ba ba ba ba ba ba ba

Girls you know you better watch out

Some guys some guys are only about

that thing that thing that thing

That thing that thing that thing

Guys you know you better watch out

Some girls some girls are only about

that thing that thing that thing

That thing that thing that thing
