Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
I'm sayin' you... you my nigga dog
So you ain't gotta worry bout Lil' Mama comin' between we dude
We still homies at the end of the day
Believe dat
No No No
I don't wanna know it
And he's too lost to know it (know it)
It's too late to tell him
He's caught in that postion
Where he won't listen even if I yell it
Just tryna help before he let that
River push off him into something deep
I wish he would think (uh huh)
I wish he would think (uh huh)
Or listen to me, cause
I got a love jones but I'm not Larenz Tate
How would it sound if I asked you "Wanna date? "
(How would that sound mama?)
I know a place me and you, girl, can get away
My niggas tryna talk to me forget what they say
She'll ride for a nigga, she a down a** chick
Run them otha' chicks to the exit quick
Let them niggas hate
They gon' hate but them niggas can't tell me shit
Let her meet my mama, she don't be with all the drama
Spend bread on my broad (cash)
Cause she know it ain't a problem
I splurge on my lady, hit the mall with my lady
I love my lady, I know she would neva play me
She be moaning, groaning making them sounds
Every time a nigga lay that pipe down
Give it to her how she want, when she want it
That grown man, I'm a... Yep that's my style
I finally found the right girl
Think I might wife her
My nigga don't like her
But girl I'm the type of
Dude that would do anything for his lady
Can I trust you? (yea)
That's my lady
No No No
I don't wanna know it
She got him where she want him
And he's too lost to know it (know it)
It's too late to tell him
He's caught in that position
Where he won't listen
Even if I yell it
Just tryna help before he let that river
Push off him into something deep
I wish he would think (Uh huh)
I wish he would think (Uh huh)
Or listen to me cause
Now what am I gonna do
What am I gonna say
Been in this postion before
Put my man up on game
Said I was tryna hate
Now he ain't my nigga no more
I don't want the same thing to go down
Between me and bow, we gettin' this money mayne
There's gotta be a way to do this
Cause my nigga's walkin' round clueless
Do I? Come right out and talk about it
Or do I just beat around the bush about it
Or should I? Let Lil' Ronnie tell him for me
No I feel obligated, That's my homie
What would you do if you was me mayne?
Tell him the truth or let it be mayne?
I'm stuck 'tween a rock and a hard place
But I gotta stop my boy from gettin' played
No No No
I don't wanna know it
She got him where she want him
And he's too lost to know it (know it)
It's too late to tell him
He's caught in that position
Where he won't listen
Even if I yell it
Just tryna help before he let that river
Push off him into something deep
I wish he would think (Uh huh)
I wish he would think (Uh huh)

I've been in a similar situation before with a friend, and I don't want to lose Bow Wow's friendship over this girl. There has to be a way to handle this.
Do I? Come right out and talk about it Or do I just beat around the bush about it Or should I? Let Lil' Ronnie tell him for me No I feel obligated, That's my homie What would you do if you was me mayne? Tell him the truth or let it be mayne?
