Tried to do me God

But see baby, I am not the one baby
|
You tried to do me
|
Yeah.. yo check this out
|
|
Verse One: Grand Puba Maxwell
|
|
Why you wanna live so foul? You know
|
sweatin, one for some, is not my style
|
I'm the type to wine and dine and the candlelight
|
Cause just one night could be just so right
|
Your first riff, is that I'm never home
|
And you're, sick and tired of bein alone
|
But baby, I got work to do
|
And ain't no-one gonna stop me from bein Pu'
|
I buy you rings and things and all that good stuff
|
But you still beefin that that is not enough
|
Let's sit down and discuss it
|
Baby bust it..
|
You check my beeper when I'm still sleepin
|
When I get out of cars you're out your window peepin
|
I think the best thing for you and me
|
is just to play like John Lennon and _Let It Be_
|
You tried to do me
|
|
Chorus: singers (repeat all 2X)
|
|
[Grand Puba Maxwell - over chorus]
|
Yeah.. but you see baby
|
I am not the one
|
You tried to do me, yeah
|
Ay bust it
|
|
Verse Two: Grand Puba Maxwell
|
|
I would sing the song called just be my lady
|
But you're the type of girl who likes to act real shady
|
And rain on the brain like a hurricane
|
Throw rhythm on a dame, cause I know the game
|
You see, I'm just a rapper and nothing's free so..
|
"Why are you watchin me?" *like Rockwell*
|
Well honey can I get some privacy? ..
|
You say cool, then you try to flip
|
But you forgot to put the Gucci bag upon your hip
|
You knew me, you blew me, others would pursue me
|
The question that I ask is why you, tryin to do me?
|
Make like a ship and just float on (float on)
|
I'm not the type of brother that you can just gig on
|
I know the time honey, there it is plain to see
|
You're tryin to do me
|
|
Chorus: singers (repeat all 2X)
|
|
[Grand Puba Maxwell - over chorus]
|
You tried to do me
|
Yeah, but you see baby
|
I am not the one
|
I ain't havin it
|
Yeah
|
|
Yeah..
|
|
Interlude: Grand Puba Maxwell
|
|
Now see baby, I don't know why you tryin to flip and alla that
|
Cause I'm out here tryin to do my thing
|
and get these papes in today's society, youknowhatI'msayin?
|
I'm tryin to make things a little better
|
But if you wanna make matters worse
|
Let me say this first
|
There's no need for you to try to do me
|
|
Chorus: singers (repeat all 2X)
|
|
[Grand Puba Maxwell - over chorus]
|
You tried to do me
|
You tried to do me babe
|
But you see
|
I am not the one
|
You tried to do me
|
Yeah
|
And now check it, I'ma end it like this
|
|
Verse Three: Grand Puba Maxwell
|
|
Now.. good times come, honey good times go
|
I think this is somethin that you really oughta know
|
The name of the game is to maintain
|
Cause when you lose someone you love, then you feel pain
|
It's up to you to decide if the love was worth losin
|
To me you're not the everyday, Tina Tammy Susan
|
Why can't you, understand?
|
Instead of tryin to run the flim-flam on the Grand
|
Baby, do whatever is clever
|
Cause we can make this last.. forever and ever
|
With joys there's pain
|
But don't you worry about the Puba Maxwell, cause I can stand the rain
|
Shoo-be-doo, this is what you oughta do
|
Think of all the things that I just told you
|
Remember all the times when I used to hold you and say
|
We can last through eternity
|
But don't ever try to do me
|
|
Yeah.. yeah..
