Foolish Ways
9th Prince Lyrics

You don't know nothin' 'bout me
You lack understanding about who I am

How you just comin' at me
Why are you approaching me with such negativity?

with your game, just you wait and see
You have an agenda, but don't be surprised when it fails

Boy, one day you're just so nice and sweet
You show affection at times, but it's not consistent

And then just wanna play me
You manipulate and deceive me

Check yourself cuz you ain't all you seem to be
You need to take a closer look at your own behavior because you're not as good as you pretend to be

Aiyo forever my lady, hold me down with the .380
My partner, always by my side and protecting me with a firearm

Love is shitty but it's all gravy baby
Love can be difficult, but we accept it because of the good parts

Caramel complexion is crazy, opposite of lazy
My partner is beautiful and hardworking

Swing low on the daisy, only if my honeycomb blaze me
We enjoy smoking together and relaxing in nature

Stop breakin' my balls, 9th Prince stands tall
Stop bothering me, I have confidence and won't let you put me down

Always there when you call before you walked out of court
I am reliable and dependable, even in difficult times

You broke my gold album, snapped it on the wall
You destroyed something important to me out of anger

Girlfriends jealous, prayin' for our downfall
Other women are envious and hoping our relationship fails

Spendin' nice out of state, wearin' Victoria Secret Lingerie, reminisce about our first day we made love
We go on expensive trips and keep our intimacy alive by reminiscing about our passionate first time together

Off old school Kay Slay mixtapes
Listening to nostalgic music that invokes memories

Even though we fight you never change a heart of my shipmate
We argue sometimes, but we remain committed to each other

Baby girl holdin' weight like Trina
My partner is strong, confident and independent like the rapper Trina

Jewelery shoppin' in Medina with the Nina
We go shopping for expensive jewelry in Medina, accompanied by a reliable friend

Charged with a misdemeanor, more cleaner
I may have committed a minor crime, but I am a good person overall.

Than Cleopatra, tell me have you see her?
My partner is more beautiful and powerful than the famous queen Cleopatra

Ballet classes in the arena like ballerina
My partner takes ballet classes and is graceful like a ballerina

I duely fiend for her body
I strongly desire my partner's physical affection

Spendin' dollars like Bill Cosby
We spend a lot of money, like the wealthy Bill Cosby

Keepin' you happy is my hobby
My partner's happiness is my main priority

But still you say I'm sloppy
My partner criticizes me despite my efforts to make her happy

If love was a crime you'd be charged with heart robbery
My partner has stolen my heart because I am deeply in love with her

Holiday Inn, platinum skins
Staying in a hotel and having sex with a beautiful partner

You my best friend, we a combination like juice and gin
My partner is my closest friend and we compliment each other perfectly

Mercedes Benz, I'm about to blow like wind
I have a luxurious car and I am quickly rising in life

Complete big house on the low out in Gaten Island
I have a large and expensive house that is somewhat hidden on Gaten Island

Baby boo you wildin'
My partner is acting wild and unpredictable

You think you can catch up to me
You believe you are on the same level as me

My power is your destiny
I have a certain power that will determine your destiny

It's my game, I'm gonna make you see
I control the situation and will make you aware of it

Boy you don't know nothin' 'bout me
You lack understanding of who I am

So you won't be comin' at me
You won't approach me with negativity

with your fool ways, you hear me when I say...
You won't continue manipulating me because you hear and understand me

9th Prince used to be a heartbreaker
I used to be a player in relationships

Now I'm the Undertaker, baby girl keep gettin' paper
Now, I take care of those who hurt my partner and my partner continues to make money

One day we'll be makin' love in the skyscraper
We will have sex in a tall building one day

My Foolish Ways made you a hater
My past mistakes have caused you to resent me

Found phone numbers with my tapin' of Fantasia
I found phone numbers while recording/directing a performance by Fantasia

Caught my holdin' hands with Aiasia
You caught me holding hands with Aiasia, causing trouble in our relationship

Your little sister blew me up like Skytel pager
Your little sister revealed the truth about my infidelity

Callin' me out my name like I'm Elaine
You are calling me names and treating me badly

Every man is a dog, it ain't the same
Every man can be unfaithful, but it doesn't excuse my behavior

Like P.R., who's to blame?
Similar to the public relations industry, we must determine who is responsible for the problems in our relationship

Love is like crack/cocaine, get addicted to the wicked games
Love is addictive and can lead to harmful behavior

Crafted, into the hall of shame
My actions have caused me to be identified as disgraceful

With your birthday how you want it, Kawasaki or Mazurati?
What kind of expensive gift do you want for your birthday, a Kawasaki or a Mazurati car?

Never could stand you dancin' with other brothers in parties
I can't stand it when you flirt and dance with other men at parties

You made me jealous hangin' with the Goodfellas
You made me jealous by spending time with the 'tough' guys

Ain't nothin' no one could tell us
We make our own decisions and won't let anyone interfere

Big as the secret lovers
Our affair is a big secret

Long hair, brown skin like Donna Summers
You have long hair and brown skin, similar to the singer Donna Summers

Baby girl you're my Wonder Woman.. Wonder Woman
You are my superhero and I admire your strength and beauty
