[Sample: Lou Rawls (sampled from "From Now On")] "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 Y'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 'Te 9th Wonder, y'all (Keep it goin, y'all) Yo... (On and on) [Verse 1: Rapper Big Pooh] Now on the outside lookin' in It's a lot easier to see why niggas like me can't win Cause the bullshit lies and 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 can't eat, I can'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! [Hook/Interlude: Phonte (Rapper Big Pooh)] Watchin yooou, yoooou (Y'knahmsayin? Stay out my shit) Watchin yooou, yoooou (Let me be me, let me DO me Let me do my thang, tired of you hoes) Watchin yooou, yoooou (Always got somethin to say, addin' some extra shit [for real] Y'knahmsayin? I don't need your input) Watchin yooou, yoooou (Let me handle mine [Y'knahsayin] Feel me) [Verse 2: 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! [Hook/Outro: Phonte] (Y'knahmsayin, man? This shit is a trip) Watchin yooou, yoooou (Just to see how three niggas can just come up with somethin' in such a short amount of time and...) Watchin yooou, yoooou (Just see all the hate that'll come out of that shit) Watchin yooou, yoooou (Heh, y'knahmsayin? My nigga told me one time You ever wanna know how many enemies you got) Watchin yooou, yoooou (Think about your no-good friends and double that shit This shit is real, man.. We gon' keep doin it) Watchin yooou, yoooou (Fuck that, LB to the end, baby Let's keep it movin) Watchin yooou, yoooou (It's like that, y'all...) Watchin yooou, yoooou Watchin yooou, yoooou
