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
