Lyrics

[Hook: Q-Tip] We got somethin' (Yo, yo we got somethin') For all of y'all We like to play (Yeah we like to play) We like to ball (Yeah we like to ball) This is a story (Yo, this is a story yo) For all of you (This is just for you) When we do our thing We got to do it true [Verse: Q-Tip] Sittin' in my canvas in the corner of my room 12:45 as the radio booms Paging you six times Call you on your cell but it's just a bad line It's a full moon so I guess I'm bout to howl Thinkin' thoughts like "Is my girl gonna prowl?" Naw, I guess she wouldn't violate us Plus hittin' gets for real and she doesn't like to fuss Callin up the shorty that I met four weeks On the street, lookin' sweet, and I was about to eat Conscious of my lady but we was on the outs Had mad love but I had mad doubts On the phone talkin' gettin' on my swerve But thinking 'bout my lady, guess I had some nerve We was still dreamin' and I had a little shot Cause I didn't even hear it when the door unlocked "Damn, where the hell was you at? Damn, why you coming in late? Damn, where the hell was you at?" "Damn, where the hell was you at? Damn, why you coming in late? Damn, where the hell was you at, why you coming in late?" Now she standing over me, I said "I gotta go" Turned around quick but I hung it up slow "What's the deal, love, what's goin' on? I see it in ya face, just tell me what's wrong" "Mm nothin', I think we need to speak" "Mm okay, well, just have a seat" She wears a frown, she lookin' 'round Sweat coming down and she doesn't make a sound (Shh shh) Tappin on the table growin' impatient I'm gettin' up and now I start pacing She says "Alright!" as she starts to conversate "I'ma do what you do" and I say "Elaborate" "Well you got that girl on the side What if I had a guy then, too? Would your heart be broken, boy? I'd wonder what you do" "Are you tellin' me you got a dude Who's lovin' you better than me?" "No, but I caught ya ass So I guess I'm settin' you free" "Yeah, whatever" as a standin' pride "Me and her is only friends though, we never end, yo We're gonna still tie intimate ends, yo I don't think so, my shit is on lock, ho" "Word? That's how it's goin'? Well I guess it was really good knowin'" "I'ma still just keep in contact" "Oh, no, there's no need for that" (Nigga, uh) [Hook] We got somethin' (Yo, word up) For all of y'all (For everybody out there) We like to play (We love to play) We like to ball (And we love to ball, to ball) This is a song (But this is a song) For all of you (For all of us, haha right?) When we do our thing (When we doing it) We got to do it true (Be true to that) [Outro] Be true to that, be true Be true to that, be true Be true to that, be true True true true true true (Yeah) (People gravitate towards the truth)
