[Intro: some DJ (Jonell)]
Sound... bombing...
(Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, ah, uh)
[Method Man]
I was gutter when you met me, gutter when you left me
Gutter when you came back, face it, nothin' can change that
Not romance or marriage counselin', you dropped the ball, now I'm bouncin'
Find me a room, burn up an ounce in
Waitin' for my baby to call, forgive it all
On some break up to make up shit, givin' me drawers
I adore mi amore, but every time she choose to go to war
I'm lookin' at the front door
[Pharoahe Monch]
You could keep the negative's mind, please, I get the picture
The emotional sounds was different when I first split you
Claim I brought pain to the thing like King Kong
Like villains in the Western flicks, that I was well hung
So put you up on Talib Kweli and the Village of Slum
Read the book of psalms to get the miles, sing some (come on now)
And you actin' like you don't know what I came here for
It's wrong to put our spirits your drove at the front door
Affectionate smiles, so you could front more
I should call you somethin' that walks on all fours
Cuz you got a fella heated for sure, love him or delete it, it's raw
Feelin' cheated when I'm out on tour
They catch a glimpse from beyond this globe, on the same note
Cuz in terrential downpours, I keep a rain coat
And a bottle of cham', bored, to let the brain flow
Pray for sun after the rain and creep the rainbow
[Jonell]
Oh, I try and I try to stop the
Forces that go round in my head and cloud
Thought you were the one to understand me
You turned my dark skies to light
But once again you touched my hopes to him
My soulful sing, my tears start glimmin' in the rain
All and again, all and again
[Chorus x2: Jonell]
I really don't know what you came here for, round and round we go
Consider your bags outside the door, round and round we go
[Jonell]
If you don't understand where I'm from
Then my heart is tellin' me you're not the one
All the games you played and now realize
You're not the one, for me to want some baby, bye-bye
Pack your bags and get to steppin'
You gotta let it go, you need to stop trippin'
I hope you don't think I'm gon' let you back in
Cuz you'se a fool
[Chorus x2]
[Kool G. Rap]
G. Rap Giacanna, I'm not the one who's born to be dissed
So let me make this clear for you, just like stones on my wrist
Just cuz the door closed, don't mean I'm on the phone wit a chick
I'm just a cat about his B.I. and let's only get rich
Straight up politickin', so where you lay your dome and be sick
Stack cake, wit food on the plate and chrome on the six
Then we can make a little fam, just us, alone in the sticks
And I can get rid of these bricks, we gone from the strip, you know?
[Hook: Jonell]
Today, I made up my mind, to get away
Everyday, I sit and pray, everyday, everyday
[Chorus x2]
[Hook with the Chorus]
[Outro: Jonell]
Every day, every day (round and round we go)
So wassup
(Jonell)
Don't try to cover it
It's already seen and shit
Save all the sentiment
For the one that you been goin around creepin with
I ain't trying to set you up
You've already messed it up
Things can't be cool with us
You want to act up, pack up, send your butt back to her
Your lies are not taking
All the mess that you making
I won't sit around waitin
For your fakin and your explanation
{Chorus}
So wassup (Wassup)
I've noticed you been takin her out (her out)
Said that shes a friend but shes not (she's not)
Took some time to figure it out
So wassup
Can't belive you brought her into my home (my home)
Where you both were all alone (alone)
Shoulda left that female alone
So wassup
Come on and tell me wassup (4xs)
(Wassup)
(I mean what's goin on)
In the mood to scream or shout
I don't wanna to work it out
You shoulda thought about what I would do
Put yourself in my shoes
Just want to let you know
It's time for me to let you go
Pack your bags get out the door
I had enough talkin can't take it no more
Your lies are not taking
All the mess that you making
I won't sit around waitin
For your fakin and your explanation
{Chorus}
{Redman}
It's like a MOP dog
How I'm downtown swingin
Or up at AU center Marsh Brown schemin
Any given Sunday you can check the wooly beamin
26 spinners check him if hes breathin
Jonell, girl said we fucked the swoo
but they were sluts to me and I make love to you
I don't cheat, I give orders
If it don't work I go postal
Now my back hand smackin the both you
Girl I pissed you off but I'm still hollerin
Now you in the heat of the night got Phil callin
Yeah I guess I'm back to bein a dog
Chasin fat women that's sixteen in the drawls
Baby I'm back like Carter with a new starter
At any girl you see me around that you brought her
I'd rather leave you than stay and sin
So sorry gotta go
I hear Craig and em, beat it
All the games you played with me (all the games)
Thought you were in love with me (were in love)
Thought it was supposed to be only you and me (only you and me)
Seems like only yesterday (yesterday)
We were so happy (happy)
But you started telling lies
And now you out my life
