Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
There's something on my mind
I can't hold in any longer
Turn around
Don't just turn the radio down
I don't wanna hear "oh, uh, oh, uh, oh, uh"
No, no, no (uh uh uh uh uh uh)
There's something I wanna say
Tell me who joined us in the bed last night
Don't look at me crazy, it did not feel right
A little to drink, but had a lot to say
Tell me who it was, tell me who it was
Whoever she was, she was on your mind
You stuttered a name that didn't sound like mine
Your silence right now will jeopardize you and I
Tell me who it was, oh tell me who it was
Tell me who joined us in the bed last night
Don't look at me crazy, it did not feel right
A little to drink, but had a lot to say
Tell me who it was, tell me who it was
Whoever she was, she was on your mind
You stuttered a name that didn't sound like mine
Your silence right now will jeopardize you and I
Tell me who it was, oh tell me who it was
You left home early
And you came home late (again)
I know there's something goin' on
Tell me what it is
What does she have that I don't?
Don't try to even lie
I just wanna know the truth
Last night while you were in my bed
You brought Cathy, Tracy, Trina home with you
Tell me
Tell me who joined us in the bed last night
Don't look at me crazy, it did not feel right
A little to drink, but had a lot to say
Tell me who it was, tell me who it was
Whoever she was, she was on your mind
You stuttered a name that didn't sound like mine
Your silence right now will jeopardize you and I
Tell me who it was, oh tell me who it was
(I'll tell ya how I knew)
I could feel it in your touch
Ain't lovin' good enough, no
(Baby who's foolin' who?)
You come home tired all the time
And you don't let me get mine, no
(Now before I say we're through)
She played you for a fool
She can't love you like I do
You can say what you want to
But last night you brought someone home with you
Tell me
Tell me who joined us in the bed last night
Don't look at me crazy, it did not feel right
A little to drink, but had a lot to say
Tell me who it was, tell me who it was
Whoever she was, she was on your mind
You stuttered a name that didn't sound like mine
Your silence right now will jeopardize you and I
Tell me who it was, oh tell me who it was

Wait a minute
Hold on a moment
There's something on my mind
I have something weighing on me that I need to share
I can't hold in any longer
I cannot continue to keep this to myself
Turn around
Pay attention to me
Don't just turn the radio down
Don't distract yourself from what I'm about to say
I don't wanna hear "oh, uh, oh, uh, oh, uh"
I don't want you to brush off what I'm saying with meaningless sounds
Wait a minute
Hold on a moment
There's something I wanna say
I have something I need to tell you
Tell me who joined us in the bed last night
I need to know who you slept with
Don't look at me crazy, it did not feel right
Don't act surprised because something felt off about our intimacy
A little to drink, but had a lot to say
You were under the influence, but you said enough to make me suspicious
Whoever she was, she was on your mind
You were thinking about this other woman while we were in bed together
You stuttered a name that didn't sound like mine
You hesitated when saying her name and it wasn't my name
Your silence right now will jeopardize you and I
If you don't tell me the truth, it will negatively affect our relationship
You left home early
You departed our home earlier than usual
And you came home late (again)
You returned home later than usual once again
I know there's something goin' on
I am aware that something is happening
Tell me what it is
Explain to me what's happening
What does she have that I don't?
What does this other woman possess that I lack?
Don't try to even lie
Don't attempt to deceive me
I just wanna know the truth
I only desire to hear the truth
Last night while you were in my bed
During our time together in bed last night
You brought Cathy, Tracy, Trina home with you
You engaged in sexual activities with these other women
I could feel it in your touch
I sensed something was different when you touched me
Ain't lovin' good enough, no
Love is not enough to mend this situation
Baby who's foolin' who?
Who is deceiving who in this situation?
You come home tired all the time
You always seem fatigued when you come home
And you don't let me get mine, no
You are not helping me meet my sexual needs
She played you for a fool
This other woman is using you and making you look foolish
She can't love you like I do
This other woman cannot love you the way I do
You can say what you want to
You can try to deny it if you want
But last night you brought someone home with you
But you had sexual relations with someone other than me last night
Your silence right now will jeopardize you and I
If you choose not to speak up, our relationship will be negatively affected

Dude that reminds me of this time where i went to Philadelphia and went Look, if you had, one shot, or one opportunity
To seize everything you ever wanted-One moment
Would you capture it, or just let it slip?
Yo, His palms are sweaty, knees weak, arms are heavy
There's vomit on his sweater already, mom's spaghetti
He's nervous, but on the surface he looks calm and ready
To drop bombs, but he keeps on forgetting
What he wrote down, the whole crowd goes so loud
He opens his mouth, but the words won't come out
He's chokin, how everybody's jokin now
The clock's run out, time's up, over bloah
Snap back to reality, Oh there goes gravity
Oh, there goes rabbit, he choked
He's so mad, but he won't give up that
No, he won't have it , he knows his whole back city ropes
It don't matter, he's dope
He knows that, but he's broke
He's so stacked that he knows
When he goes back to his mobile home, that's when it's
Back to the lab again yo
This whole rap scrapt
Better go capture this moment and hope it don't pass him
[Chorus:]
You better lose yourself in the music, the moment
You own it, you better never let it go
You only get one shot, do not miss your chance to blow
This opportunity comes once in a lifetime yo,
You better lose yourself in the music, the moment
You own it, you better never let it go
You only get one shot, do not miss your chance to blow
This opportunity comes once in a lifetime you better,
His soul's escaping, through this hole that is gaping
This world is mine for the taking
Make me king, as we move toward a, new world order
A normal life is borin, but superstardom's close to post mortom
It only grows harder, only grows hotter
He blows us all over these hoes is all on him
Coast to coast shows, he's know as the globetrotter
Lonely roads, God only knows
He's grown farther from home, he's no father
He goes home and barely knows his own daughter
But hold your nose cause here goes the cold water
These ho's don't want him no mo, he's cold product
They moved on to the next schmoe who flows
He nose dove and sold nada
So the soap opera is told and unfolds
I suppose it's old partner, but the beat goes on
Da da dum da dum da da
[Chorus:]
You better lose yourself in the music, the moment
You own it, you better never let it go-o
You only get one shot, do not miss your chance to blow
This opportunity comes once in a lifetime yo
You better lose yourself in the music, the moment
You own it, you better never let it go
You only get one shot, do not miss your chance to blow
This opportunity comes once in a lifetime yo, you better
No more games, I'ma change what you call rage
Tear this motherlovin roof off like 2 dogs caged
I was playin in the beginnin, the mood all changed
I been chewed up and spit out and booed off stage
But I kept rhymin and stepwritin the next cypher
Best believe somebody's payin the pied piper
All the pain inside amplified by the fact
That I can't get by with my 9 to 5
And I can't provide the right type of life for my family
Cause man, these gary food stamps don't buy diapers
And it's no movie, there's no Makai Pheiffer, this is my life
And these times are so hard and it's getting even harder
Tryin to feed and water my seed, plus
Teeter-totter caught up between bein a father and a pre-madonna
Baby mama drama's screamin on and
Too much for me to wanna
Stay in one spot, another day of monotony
Has gotten me to the point, I'm like a snail
I've got to formulate a plot or I end up in jail or shot
Success is my only motherlovin option, failure's not
Mom, I love you, but this trailer's got to go
I cannot grow old in Salem's lot
So here I go is my shot.
Feet fail me not this may be the only opportunity that I got
[Chorus:]
You better lose yourself in the music, the moment
You own it, you better never let it go
You only get one shot, do not miss your chance to blow
This opportunity comes once in a lifetime yo
You better lose yourself in the music, the moment
You own it, you better never let it go
You only get one shot, do not miss your chance to blow
This opportunity comes once in a lifetime you better,
You can do anything you set your mind to, man that all happened crazy isnt it

When I first watched this video, my brother was already halfway into it, and I started watching with him then, and when I saw him being asked these crazy questions, I was freaking out so bad because I didn’t know if Ashton was really going to be filled in on a case. And I also thought is this really necessary to be on camera. Then when I watched the beginning of it, I realized it was a prank and I was like, “Oh. I was worried for nothing.”
