Hey whatcha know
Outside of the beastie boys show
Saw a phat kid that tried to kick it late
He said by the way where ya been
Are you still wit that boyfriend
I said no way and you look great
Wanna hook up but i thought again
Meet him on the train one day
When I was wrapped in pain
He said I love you
And always that I will i heard
And before I got his name I thought it might be ok
To use for service to take some pain away
All them guys that talk around town
Girls like me wanna keep it down
Don't be fresh with all your clothes
Pop that girl if anything goes
Yeah beat boys want all the fame
Girls get hurt when you play that game
You weren't concerned in how I feel
No thank you i'd rather chill
Hey whats the deal
I'll let you know if things get ill
Can't hook up if you call the shots me
But ya got things that i'd like to see
Soft porn doesnt do it for me
I don't like sex and drugs wit me
I don't like sex and drugs wit me
And one day on the train
I'd never leave me man stray
I don't deserve this
Your always there i never heard
But instead of bein scared
His words just went straight to me head
And I got nervous and left my love away
All them guys that talk around town
Girls like me wanna keep it down
Dope beat fresh with all your clothes
Pop that girl if anything goes
Yeah beat boys want all the fame
Girls get hurt when you play that game
You weren't concerned in how I feel
No thank you i'd rather chill
All them guys that talk around town
Girls like me wanna keep it down
Dope beat fresh fresh with all your clothes
Pop that girl if anything goes
Yeah beat boys want all the fame
Girls get hurt when you play that game
You weren't concerned in how I feel
No thank you i'd rather chill
