(feat. Ol' Dirty Bastard)

[Intro]

Dear Ol' Dirty Bastard, no no

Dear, Baby Jesus, no that's not it

Dear Dirt McGirt, aw yeah yeah yeah

Look, man it's this girl that I really like man

And, I want to get her to notice me

So, I just wanted some advice on

What should I do to like, get her to come my way

Write back soon, your biggest fan, Rhymefest

[Chorus: Ol' Dirty Bastard]

Why do you build me up (build me up) buttercup

Baby just to let me down (just to let me down)

Mess me around, and then worst of all (worst of all)

You never call baby when you say you will (when you say you will)

But I love you still, I need you! (I need you!)

More than anyone darlin; you know that I have from the start

Build me up (build me up)

Buttercup, don't break my heart

[Rhymefest]

Look, c'mon

Have you ever met a girl, come into your world

Cat {?} put your brain on sterile

Activate and leave stains like curls

Sophisticate, and make you feel so world

Ahhh, there it is - so liberated

Ridin in a sports car, so ventilated

Joggin in a sports bra, so titillated

Chick so cool, but not refridgerated

Look McGirt, I don't wanna trouble ya

But this chick on my block, I'm in love with her

I wanna get up in her Bush like Dubya

Tryin to get up in her Bush like Dubya

So write me back, let me know

How I'm 'sposed to hit it when I got no dough

How I'm 'sposed to spit it when I got no flow

Shimmy shimmy yay, shimmy ya, shimmy yo

Oh (woo-hoo-hoooo)

[Chorus]

[Rhymefest]

I just wanna talk to her

But I'm me and this girl is so popular

It's a dirty game, me has binoculars

From a distance I just started watchin her

Then I met her at Hills on the Southside

Bought her chicken and fries, with coleslaw aside

She ain't say thanks enough, that's all pride

I don't care about her man, I just let it slide

I just think about fuckin you everyday

And just sink in the back of my Chevrolet

All that chicken you ate and you never paid

Take my order, can I have a breast or leg?

Would you fin' to say no, oh, how's that so?

After I came here and spent all my dough?

"Look boy it's chicken, what is you broke?"

Then I got scared and said it's a joke

Gave her a hug and stole her coat

[Chorus]

[Rhymefest]

Dear Dirty, thanks for the advice and everything man

It didn't really work out with this chick this time

She wasn't that buttercup, she was just another slut man

But you know what? I'm just gonna say forget about it man

I'ma go get a movie, you haven't seen "Harry Met Sally" yet?

It's kinda like what I'm goin through; aww, whatever

C'mon!

Yeah

This is for everybody lookin for that perfect girl man

Sometimes you ain't got all the money in the world

And you ain't got all the looks in the world but

You can still find that buttercup

Don't let her build you up and break you down man

You build it up, whatever, yo freak for me

Make sure she like to fuck though, heh

That's always important isn't it?

[ODB] Expect you're the one for meeeeeeeeeee

[Fest] Yo Dirt, pack your bags, let's go

[ODB] Girrrrl, the way you give brains to meeeeeeeeeee

[Fest] Yo Dirt, it's over G!
