Jealousy
Adventures Of Stevie V Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Jealousy's my observation
Hard envy, you really send me
Don't stand close or you'll offend me
You? the peoples at the door
You know the game, you know the score
Here's a girl, the bitter pill
You know, I work hard
For the things that I've got
You just need to get up off
Your behind and get yourself together
Naw, uh uh, don't be ragging on me
For trying to do my thing
Human emotion
Share your feelings with the needy
Can't you see, it's a drop in the ocean
Why so resentful,
Feel content, no regard for yur brother
With a chip upon your shoulder
Do your best to respect one another
Show compassion if you
Want a slice of action
(CHORUS)
Oh, jealousy
You want everything that I've got
Wanna have your cake and eat it
Jealousy, easier to have than have not
Wanna have your cake and eat it
(Repeat CHORUS)
Yo, the? with the plan
Have respect for your brother man
Why get upset, enjoy success
Run with the pack, forget the rest
Action wasted in your brain
Hard to take, let me explain
If jealousy is your claim to fame
You may be joining my campaign
If you want it, go right out and take it
Feel the sweat on your neck in silence
I enjoy it and the tension, you destroy it
Don't give a damn,
There's no limit, boy
You either lose or win it
Leave me scared
My pride, I will swallow
For the living, leave me in
A raging frenzy
(Repeat CHORUS 2x)

Major props to Stevie V! Slays the radio and clubs with Dirty Cash and then melts them again with Jealousy. Another brilliant hip house anthem.
@razoblicavanje4231
Hip House sadly died.

Will live in our hearts the old school possie , hip hop, rap. Freestyle.pop. I'm 53 I love this music.
@andrescotapo3653
Everyone here , have you noticed in all commercial for target, cvs, Honda. Everything. They use rythm , melody of songs from back in the 80s , the 90s. Our time as kids. Another time another era. Old school jams are the best.
