Ay yo, dawg, I meet women, discrete women
Street women, slash, Cocoa Puff sweet women (what?)
Make you wanna (uh) women, but not me
Y'all cats eat off the plate all you want but not D (uh)
I gets at these chickens from a distance
The instant they start to catch feelings
I start to stealin' they, quick
Then I'm out just like a thief in the night
I sink my teeth in to bite
You thinkin' life, I'm thinkin' more like, what's up tonight?
Come on ma, you know I got a wife
And even though that- tight I'm not gon' jeopardize my life (aight?)
So what is it you want? (What?)
I gave you, you gave me, I blazed you, you blazed me (c'mon)
Nothin' more, nothin' less but you at my door (yeah, yeah)
Willin' to confess that it's the best you ever tested (aight)
Better than all the rest, I'm like, "Aight girlfriend, hold up (tell me)
I gave you, what you gave me Boo" (fo' real)
