Here is a story
About a man coming in
And found his woman in bed with
Well, listen
It's two A. M., I'm just gettin' in about to check my message
No one has called but my homies and some bill collectors
Cellular rings, somebody wants to borrow money
I two-way her she don't hit me back something is funny
So I called her mother's house and asked her has she seen my baby
Roll my six around lookin' for that missing lady
Got back in, turned the TV on and caught the news
Then I put my hand on my head cause I'm so confused
And then I turned the TV down
'Cause I thought I heard a squicky sound
Something's going on upstairs
'Cause I know nobody else lives here
Bump Bump Bump
As I get closer to the stairways all I hear
And then I hear my baby's voice in my ear screamin' out
Your contagious, touch me, baby, give me what you got
(Then the man said)
Sexy lady, drive me crazy, drive me wild
(All I heard was my baby's voice screaming)
Your contagious, touch me, baby, give me what you got
Sexy lady, drive me crazy, drive me wild
(I just can't believe this shit)
I ran downstairs looked in the closet lookin' for that ooo
Said a prayer 'cause only God knows what I'm gonna doo
What I saw was enough to drive a Preacher wild
I'm in the hall contemplatin' not in my own damn house
Who would have thought she was creepin' with another man?
The down low happenin' to me all over again
And then I turned the TV down
'Cause I know I heard a squicky sound
Something going on up there upstairs
'Cause I know it no one else lives here
Bump Bump Bump
As I get closer to the stairways all I hear
And then I hear my baby's voice in my ear screaming
Your contagious, touch me, baby, give me what you got
(Then the man said)
Sexy lady, drive me crazy, drive me wild
(All I can do is hear them saying)
Your contagious, touch me, baby, give me what you got
Sexy lady, drive me crazy, drive me wild
(Oh, I can't believe this shit)
What the hell is going on between the sheets in my home?
Baby wait, let me explain before you start to point your cane
Girl I'm 'bout to have a fit
Oh it's about to be some shit!
How did I get in to this? Should have never came home with this bitch
You low down dirty woman, back to where you come from
But baby, wait
But wait my ass
Hit the streets your ass is grass!
Now, Mister Biggs, before you done
Wait, how you know my name, son?
Honey wait, I was gonna tell ya
Move, this cat looks real familiar
Hmmm, now don't I know you from somewhere a long time ago?
No, no, I don't think so
Yeah, yeah, I feel I know you, brother, very well
No, no, you mistaken me for somebody else
Frank!
Shut up! Can't you see two men are talkin'?
But!
Thought I told yo ass to get to walkin'!
Now I think ya'll better leave this place
'Cause I'm about to catch a case
Your contagious, touch me, baby give me what you got
(That's what you said)
Sexy lady, drive me crazy, drive me wild
(And then he replied)
Your contagious, touch me, baby, give me what you got
Sexy lady, drive me crazy, drive me wild
Your contagious, touch me, baby, give me what you got
Sexy lady, drive me crazy, drive me wild
