The lyric stays readable and compact here; the note and related paths sit nearby so you do not lose the song while looking for context.

See, every time me and my man get into a fight

This girl is giving her advice

She wanna say he ain't no good

And she thinks I should get another

man in my life

But I don't see how she gon' tell me

What she thinks a man should or

should not be

'Cause love life ain't right

She needs to get it tight before she

be steppin' on me

B-SECTION

Now come on, if you've been divorced more

than twice

And you wanna give advice 'bout my love life,

oh no

You can just forget that

I don't need that

So you can just go ahead and keep that

And if you always lookin' a mess

Bet yet you wanna tell me how to

dress, oh no

I don't wanna hear that, I won't take that

So you just go ahead and save that

HOOK

At least if you were gonna try and give advice

About my life

Have your own shit right

'Cause you ain't livin' what you

preach to me

So please, how you gonna' tell me

REPEAT HOOK

Tell me

Why do I find that the blind

Is always trying to lead the blind

They always got something to say

Every day

About the ways you do your thang

But I don't see how they gon' tell me what I

need or how I need to be

'Cause if they ain't doing what I wanna do

Living like I wanna live I don't wanna hear it

REPEAT B-SECTION

REPEAT HOOK 2X

BRIDGE

You 'bout to lose your house

And your ride too

'Cause you don't handle buisness like you

should do

But you know how to fix my thang

(my thang)

You dropped out of school in 11th grade

Stripping every day just so you can get paid

But you know how to fix my thang

How you gonna tell me

REPEAT HOOK 4X
