Why

So yo, why you trying to play me though?

Out like a sucker (repeat 4x)

[pharoahe monch]

You're sneaking around like a sneaker baby, what's the beeper for?

Used to do my chores, now you're acting like a whore

Phones at my grip with you off to the store

For now, you don't love me no more?

Hey, by the way who's curt?

Left a message on my machine said you didn't come to work

You awol from the job, plus who's rob?

The way you're acting, I think you've been slobbing him

Sometimes I swear I think about robbing 'em

But my papa told me never to snuff no girls

You give 'em diamond, jewels, furs, pearls

Rings and shoes and cars and things

From time to time I wanna diss her

You couldn't play me if I cheated like amy fisher

And dismiss her from the courtroom in a yugo

You know, something like joe buttafuco

Well deep inside my heart, the pain still stings

When I think back and remember I was gonna swing her a ring

For her fing finger, yes I used to bang her

Like inga binga bunga but I'm out like philip summers

So yo, why you trying to play me though?

Out like a sucker (repeat 4x)

[prince poetry]

I reminice back when I was swinging with mish pretty young thing

She got a kick outta, my jeep and a meal at burger king

And a shotta, ? ? ? down with my maturity

Getting papers from port authority doing security

Uh, she just used to climb up in my whipper whip

Just to stress a nigga quick, young she's on a ego trip

Quit being ha ha I had to stop the pigeon

Step, find a dove who comprehends exactly how I'm living

So I met a girl around the way from the uptown

Set, we used to drown in sweat, uh

She was my dollar til I lost my 9 to 5

She started dissing listen pretend then shitting on my pride

She tried to crush my pride so cut off to the next

Uh, not for the sex, this one used to run through the projects

Gossiping with the next about the next

Loved to cover her neck, for stress gave her a cat as a pet (meow)

It's major in a which, when she wanted to flow

Flowing with this nosey hoochie when I was out doing my shows

Doing a demo, demo, dembo, dembo

Dembo you can't front, you used to bust a load on prince po

And fall fast asleep into the morn

Girlfriend started flipping, so yo prince had to be gone

I'm just another brother trying to get around the feds

And keep my mental state, no matter what it takes

So yo, why you trying to play me though?
