That Dude

|
Don't mess with that dude
|
ooh, ooh, ooh, ooh, ooh, ooh
|
Don't mess with that dude
|
|
If he's too young, some of them guys got a real big problem
|
Startin' shit they can't finish if you allow them
|
To get close enough to think you can't live without them
|
|
Don't mess with that dude
|
Say the rule applies to the next type
|
Insecurity, he's trying to control your life
|
Tired of feeling scared, somebody gon' come along and treat you right, no
|
|
Don't mess with that dude
|
Cos he's already taken
|
I don't give a damn what kinda plans you're makin'
|
Even if the playa says he's plannin on shakin'
|
Bottom line is he's still takin' so
|
|
Don't mess with that dude
|
And if you're smart you'll leave him alone
|
He ain't even thinkin' about getting his own
|
Not a car, not a job, not a place of his own
|
Comfortable at his mom's tho
|
|
Don't mess with that dude
|
And if he don't wanna pay the bills he have run up then
|
Don't mess with that dude
|
And if he lounge at the place while you're workin'I'd a come up here
|
Don't mess with that dude
|
And if he lazy, trite, and jealous, and got a wife then
|
Don't mess with that dude
|
And if he's all of the above, I'm gonna say it twice then
|
|
Don't mess with that dude
|
Cos it's only a matter of time before he breaks your heart
|
Don't mess with that dude
|
And I know it's not easy for ya to play this part but
|
Don't mess with that dude
|
|
If he promise you happiness but he made you cry
|
Said he'd be true to you but he told you lies
|
You're willin to work with him but he just won't try
|
|
Don't mess with that dude
|
And when you're on to the next
|
Good guy, good background, good sex
|
Kick it for a minute but if he won't take steps
|
Pause givin you his last name, yet
|
|
Don't mess with that dude
|
If you got a man then his boys are strictly off limits
|
If they make noise your style will be diminished
|
Tell him where to go if he's tryin to cash his feelings, yeah
|
|
Don't mess with the dude
|
And if your man's ever weak enough to be hittin' you
|
Recognize, real, and take in what I've given you
|
You don't deserve it, you're worth so much more than abuse
|
|
Don't mess with the dude
|
I know the game, I know the rules now
|
Don't mess with that dude
|
I heard the lies, I know the truth now
|
Don't mess with that dude
|
I've been alone and I been misused
|
Don't mess with that dude
|
Now I know what I gotta do, yeah
|
Don't mess with that dude
|
|
Don't mess with that dude
|
Cos it's only a matter of time before he breaks your heart
|
Don't mess with that dude
|
And I know it's not easy for ya to play this part but
|
Don't mess with that dude
|
