Verse One: Phife Dawg

Went to Carvel to get a milk shake

This honey ripped me off of my loot case

The car oh yeah there's money in my jacket

Somebody broke into my ride and cold macked it

Yo tip I tell you man the devil's trying it

But I'm goin to stay strong cause I ain't bying it

Tonight I'm taking Sherry out

I don't have jack to wear

You know I've got to look dipped in the freshest gear

Cool I found something so I ironed it

I think I caught up on the phone

Oh shit I'm trying it

Will someone tell me what did I do to deserve this?

I think I'll pull out my super ? and serve this

My little brother wants Barney, cool I'm getting it

Took him down to Kay-Bee, they ain't sellin it

Here we go with the crying, yo he's throwing fits

My blood pressure blowing up, I can't take this shit

Finally got what he wanted now he's good to go

Again the robers smashed, were's my radio?

One time the car was in the shop I had to borrow see...

They had no mercy on the car oh you he'll kill me

Where the hell can Nicki be? I'm goin to smack her up

I got the tickets for the Knicks and she cold stood me up

I need to hit a hunny off yo drill pas me the phone

Pulled out my hooker hoes, oh yo Sheela's home

Steady smiling like a mother yo I'm wrecked to bone

Went down on hun, she's in the red zone

Stressed out more than one could ever be

Forever trying to clear the sample for my new LP

With all these trials and tribulations yo I've been affected

And to top it off, Starks got ejected
