Temptations
2Pac; Snoop Dogg Lyrics

Tell me baby are you lonely? Don't wanna rush ya
Asking the person if they are lonely and offering help, but not pushing it on them

I can help ya if ya only, let me touch ya
Offering physical comfort and support to the person

If I'm wrong love tell me, 'cause I get caught up
Asking the person to correct them if they do something wrong, as they can get carried away

And the life I live is Hell see, I never thought I'd see The day when I would calm down, you ain't heard
Reflecting on the struggles and chaos of their life, and expressing that they never thought they would be able to calm down

I've been known to clown and Get Around, that's my word
Acknowledging their reputation for promiscuity and partying

See you walkin' and you lookin' good, yes indeed Got a body like a sex fiend, you're killin' me
Complimenting the person's appearance and expressing their physical attraction

With your attitude to match right, don't be phony 'Cause I hate when you act like, you don't know me
Noting that the person's attitude and personality match their appearance, and criticizing them for pretending not to know them

I've be stressin' in the spotlight, I want the fame But the industry's a lot like, a crap game
Discussing the pressures of fame and the unpredictable nature of the music industry

Ain't no time for commitment, I gotta go Can't be with you every minute miss, another show
Explaining that they don't have time for a committed relationship because of their busy schedule with performances and appearances

And even though I'm known for my one night stand (Look here) I wanna be an honest man, but temptations go
Admitting their reputation for casual sex, and expressing a desire to be honest and committed, but acknowledging the temptations that come their way

I know you've been searchin' for someone To make you happy, and get the job done You say you needed, a man with money But I can't be there, and will you still care
Acknowledging the person's search for someone to make them happy and offering support, but explaining that they can't offer financial stability

Will I cheat or will I be committed, heaven knows Gettin' weak and I wanna hit it, so here I go
Questioning whether they will be able to remain faithful, as they feel tempted to engage in physical activity

All the cuties know I'm under pressure, what do I do Gettin' shaky when she pull the dress up, and say it's cool
Discussing the pressure they feel from attractive women, and acknowledging their physical reaction to the situation

Slow down baby don't rush, I like it slow Can't hold it any longer, so let it go Open the gates to your waterfall up in heaven And don't worry, I let myself in, all I heard was
Encouraging the person to take their time and enjoy the moment, admitting their desire for physical activity, and using suggestive language to express pleasure

A lotta people think it's easy, to settle down Got a woman that'll please me, in every town I don't wanna but I gotta do it, the temptation Got me ready to release the fluid, sensation
Explaining that many people think it's easy to settle down, but they have the temptation to engage in physical activity with different women in different places

Sit down and conversate like you know me, take my hand Cause even Thugs get lonely, understand Even the hardest of my homies need attention Catch you blowin' up the telephone, reminiscin'
Asking the person to sit and talk with them like they know them, and explaining that even tough individuals get lonely and need attention from others

I wanna take you to the movies, and the park Let's find a spot for you to do me, in the dark Now that it's passion, hold me tight Don't need lights, I can see you by the moonlight
Suggesting romantic activities, and suggesting a sexual encounter in a private place with low lighting

I know your man ain't lovin' you right You're lonely and depressed you need a Thug in your life Enough talkin', you want me to leave, I'll get to walkin' See you later, cause baby I'm a player, and all I heard was
Acknowledging the person's dissatisfaction with their current relationship, and offering to fill a void as a thug in their life, but also expressing a willingness to leave if asked to do so
