|
Y'all sweatin the next man, cause y'all think he's live
|
Cause the gear he buy, or the car that he drive
|
He's out your league, meanin not your equal
|
You're idolizin some knucklehead who can't teach you
|
So get yours like you first intended
|
Go out for self, that means be independent
|
Word up, stop sweatin that brother
|
I don't think he got his dependin on another
|
But y'all wanna cling and be under his wing
|
Brag about his things like his chains and rings
|
How he's livin fat, buyin this and that
|
Y'all wit him everday, but y'all ain't makin jack
|
Y'all gettin played like Nintendo
|
He's not showin y'all how to be large like him though
|
You could be PAID, strivin out, gettin things
|
Hangin with him, you can't afford two chicken wings
|
You're better off goin out solo
|
Cause stickin with him, you're not makin no dough
|
So stop hawkin and holdin out your hand
|
Get yours -- and stop sweatin the next man

|
Nowadays, things are lookin critical
|
Y'all sweatin a brother, females are widdit too
|
A man that's paid, that's what the females are seekin
|
That's why they dress up and go out every weekend
|
No doubt that some of these, females are wannabees
|
Sweatin every brother with a car over 20 G's
|
You break your neck, to run after him
|
He know damn well that you can't do jack for him
|
He got game, so your head is all psyched
|
He's the type, to get the sex the first night
|
So you get with him, you run and tell all your crew
|
"I love that man!" Yeah, sure you do
|
Your intentions was to jerk him and scoop the cash
|
You didn't know he was too smart for your stupid ass
|
He knows you're not makin no dough
|
Wearin the same outfit three weekends in a row
|
Everytime you see him, you're broke and empty handed
|
Then wonder why you got fucked and left stranded
|
Went all out to please and impress him
|
Now he's gone, you wonder why you can't catch him
|
Check it out, to end off the segment
|
You're confused, you fell off - plus you're pregnant!
|
Got caught out there, that wasn't part of the plan
|
"Finesse what should I do?" Stop sweatin the next man
|

|
If a person's out your league, then let him go
|
He might be cool, but you don't have to sweat him though
|
I don't care if he's drivin, or he dressed GQ
|
You deserve just as much respect, as he do
|
What you wanna be - a loaner or a borrower?
|
Owner or employer? Leader or a follower?
|
The next man is not here to help y'all
|
He can't put you down, you can only make yourself fall
|
But y'all sweat him cause the shit is down pat
|
He's livin fat, yeah the brother's all that
|
Out of all the fish in the sea, y'all think he's the head shark
|
Y'all sweat him so much, y'all givin his dick stretch marks
|
So don't sweat him cause y'all think he's a big shot
|
And stop scheamin on what some other kid got
|
You could use your skills to gain wealth and respect then
|
you could be just as large as the next man
|
Listen to me -- and I'll bet you
|
when you get paid, the next man'll sweat you
|
That's today's plan, and tomorrow's move
|
is to get paid, and make other brothers follow you
|
And let em know, to take they stand
|
and get theirs -- and stop sweatin the next man!
