[Chorus]
|
I never wanted you to be my man
|
I just needed company
|
Don't want to get dependent on
|
Your time or who you spend it on
|
But I lose it when you look at me
|
Like smoke, I hung around in the unbalance
|
Woah, ohhh!
|
|
[Nas]
|
It's not a movie, this is not a script or proofread
|
I'll spit some untruths to dumb fools and groupies
|
Fun to punctuate, pronunciate the funds I make
|
? put in your face
|
Oh my mistake, you're not a floosy? Then excuse me
|
Before I talk, my style introduced me
|
Get your name and phone number like 1-2-3
|
Y'all know the story, y'all know the commentary
|
I kick the narrative, this is legendary
|
The good Samaritan, hood thespian
|
Like a polygamist, with a twist
|
Will I marry again? Maybe, I guess
|
I hold a lady's interest, I just met
|
The love scholar, she the teacher's pet
|
Every other eve we meet and make each other sweat
|
I feel triumphant, no strings
|
Just a fling to have fun with
|
I be out in London, Camden
|
Huntin' for the answers, why did God take away the homie?
|
I can't stand it
|
I'm a firm believer that we all meet up in eternity
|
Just hope the big man show me some courtesy
|
Why? 'Cause I'm deemed a heart breaker
|
Like smoke, girls lean 'round a player
|
Yeaha
|
[Chorus]
|
I never wanted you to be my man
|
I just needed company
|
Don't want to get dependent on
|
Your time or who you spend it on
|
I lose it when you look at me
|
Like smoke, I hang around in the unbalance
|
Woah, ohhh!
|
|
[Nas]
|
Yo, this recession is a test
|
It's affecting my complexion
|
Misdirection my affection
|
My concerns are bill collections
|
The facts is the taxes, they after me
|
Chapter three, my property
|
My handlers, they dealt with me improperly
|
I say some things I should probably keep privately
|
Evaluate the world bank trusts like I'm IEG
|
Those fly suites and my boojwazi
|
Tall freak, she wouldn't protest with me at Wall Street
|
She says, no you're so deep
|
I said, no let's go through it
|
Historically so ruthless feds came for Joe Louis
|
She said, my man you need to laugh sometimes
|
Classify me as a whore, I tell her have some wine
|
You colder than penguin poo, ?
|
She's thinkin' that's just so silly to say
|
But if you really think about it hussy
|
See a penguin, he drags his shit on the ground all day
|
And there's a dragon?
|
I'm through with you after I crush, so is that humorous enough?
|
The smoke I puff
|
Tell the car to go to Aura, Funky Buddah, Whisky Mist on Mayfair
|
I hope I meet Monie Love so she can show me love
|
NYC to UK I might stay there
|
Everybody in the club tonight say, "Yeah"
|
You know how me and Amy are, straight players
|
|
[Chorus]
|
I never wanted you to be my man
|
I just needed company
|
Don't want to get dependent on
|
Your time or who you spend it on
|
I lose it when you look at me
|
Like smoke, I hang around in the unbalance
|
Woah, ohhh!
|
Ohh, ohh, ooohh, ohh
|
