The Way You Do
Carl Thomas Feat. Kanye West Lyrics

Man, you know I love you right?
I deeply care for you, you are aware of that, correct?

You just got to be real with me
You need to be honest and transparent with me

Is you cheating on me?
Are you being unfaithful to me?

Nigga, there you go with that shit again
Here you are, bringing up that same topic again

Baby, you know how I feel about you
You are aware of the strong emotions I have for you

I'm trying to make this work
I am putting in effort to ensure our relationship succeeds

My guys keeping coming to me
My friends keep approaching me

Telling me they seeing you and stuff
Informing me that they have witnessed you engaging in certain activities

How this making me look?
How is this affecting my image?

Buying you them rings
Purchasing expensive rings for you

Them leathers; getting your hair done every week
Buying luxurious leather items and funding your frequent hair appointments

Gotta let me know somethin'
You need to provide me with clarity and information

Look, if you don't trust me
If you lack faith and confidence in me

Why the fuck is you with me?
Why are you even in a relationship with me?

Coming at me on some Jay-Z shit
Approaching me aggressively, similar to the behavior of Jay-Z

Who you with?
Who are you associating yourself with?

Calling my cell, leaving crazy voicemails
Making multiple phone calls to my cellphone and leaving irrational voice messages

Figured you can get me if you called my girl, Nikki
Assuming you can gather information by contacting my friend, Nikki

But she was with me, and I was home at seven fifty
But Nikki was in my presence, and I was at home at seven fifty

But that was when he got technical with it
However, that was when he started being overly specific and precise

Talkin 'bout he called my house at seven fifty-nine
Claiming that he dialed my home phone at seven fifty-nine

I don't keep up with the time
I don't pay close attention to the time

What the fuck?
What in the world?

You think I'm lyin'?
Are you under the impression that I am lying?

It all comes down to you trust me or you won't
Ultimately, it boils down to whether or not you have faith in me

The bottom line is you love me or you don't
The fundamental truth is that either you have love for me or you don't

And do you need me baby?
And do you depend on me, my dear?

Yeah, you know I do
Yes, you are aware that I do

So you believe me, baby?
Therefore, do you have faith in me, darling?

Yeah, for sure I do
Yes, without a doubt, I have faith in you

Then he gave me a hug, jumped in the trunk, and went to work
Following that, he embraced me, entered the trunk of the vehicle, and commenced his duties

He managed to leave without getting his feelings hurt
He successfully departed without experiencing emotional pain

So I sat back, flamed up the weed, and thought up
In response, I reclined and lit up some marijuana while reflecting on the situation

Who the hell done run their mouth and almost got me caught up?
Who is the individual who recklessly shared information and nearly implicated me?

I said: 'Boy, don't you know what you do to me?'
I exclaimed: 'My dear, are you not aware of the impact you have on me?'

He said: 'But I don't usually.'
He responded: 'However, I typically do not.'

I said: 'Boy, don't you know what you do to me?'
I reiterated: 'My dear, are you not aware of the impact you have on me?'

He said: 'You know I don't usually.'
He reaffirmed: 'You know that is not typically the case.'

I said: 'Boy, don't you know what you do to me?'
I repeated: 'My dear, are you not aware of the impact you have on me?'

I be hatin' when you actin' brand new to me
I despise it when you start behaving in a manner that is unfamiliar to me

Look, you can't be tellin' people that you doin' me
Listen, you cannot reveal to others that we are involved with each other

You gotta keep this, here, between you and me
You must preserve the confidentiality of our relationship

Look, I feel bad about the fact that you gotta creep with me
I empathize with the guilt you experience when engaging in clandestine activities with me

When your man be around, you don't speak to me
When your partner is present, you refrain from conversing with me

When my girl be around, I see you peepin' me
When my girlfriend is present, I notice you observing me

When they both ain't around, you be freakin' me
When neither of them is present, you engage in intimate encounters with me

We used to do it secretly
We used to engage in our activities covertly

Now you all talk
Nowadays, you are disclosing our actions

You tellin' everybody like you want to get caught
You are sharing the details with everyone, almost as if you desire to be discovered

I think my girl catchin' on
I believe my girlfriend is starting to suspect something

'Cause my story keep changin' up
Because my explanations keep altering

You gotta stop callin' up my crib and hangin' up
You need to refrain from repeatedly calling my home and abruptly ending the calls

Truthfully, if you tellin' people that you doin' me
Honestly, if you are informing others that we are involved with each other

Then you tellin' me that you don't even want to screw with me
In essence, you are conveying that you have no desire to engage in any further sexual activities with me

And that's a shame
And that is truly unfortunate

I can't even do my thang
I am unable to carry out my own endeavors

You get dick, and you go temporarily insane
You receive sexual gratification, and it drives you temporarily insane

You think it's a game, but I don't want to play no more
You perceive this as mere entertainment, but I have lost interest in participating

You want to stay, but you can't stay no more
You desire to continue the relationship, yet you are no longer able to do so

You want to be with K, but that ain't okay no more
You wish to be in a relationship with me, but that is no longer acceptable

You got somethin' to say, but you ain't gotta say no more
You have something to express, yet there is no need for you to articulate it further

I said: 'Girl, don't you know what you do to me?'
I exclaimed: 'My dear, are you not aware of the impact you have on me?'

She said: 'But I don't usually.'
She responded: 'However, I typically do not.'

I said: 'Girl, don't you know what you do to me?'
I reiterated: 'My dear, are you not aware of the impact you have on me?'

She said: 'You know I don't usually.'
She reaffirmed: 'You know that is not typically the case.'

I said: 'Girl, don't you know what you do to me?'
I repeated: 'My dear, are you not aware of the impact you have on me?'

You got somethin' to say, but you ain't gotta say no more
You have something to express, yet there is no need for you to articulate it further

It seem like fine hos is hard to find mostly
It appears that locating attractive women is primarily challenging

The type of girls that give you their whereabouts supposedly
The kind of females who allegedly disclose their location to you

And when you check, they ain't never where they're supposed to be
And when you investigate, they are never in the expected location

I learned my lesson; now I only fuck hos that's close to me
I have gained wisdom from my experiences and now exclusively engage in sexual encounters with individuals in close proximity

Don't get me wrong; you still gotta live close to me
Do not misunderstand me; you still have to reside near me

This ain't a song I made for ugly hos to start approachin' me
This is not a composition I crafted for unattractive women to begin pursuing me

You know how this go; I diss hos
You are aware of my approach; I disrespect females

I'm very mean now
I have become extremely harsh now

My roley face green now
The face of my Rolex watch has a green appearance now

I bring your self esteem down
I lower your level of confidence

I knew since the day I met you if I would fuck you or not
From the moment I first encountered you, I already knew whether or not I would engage in sexual activities with you

So later on I asked my girl how many bitches you got
Later on, I inquired with my girlfriend about the number of women you are involved with

I never loved you a lot, but then this nigga got turned out
I never had deep feelings of love for you, but then this individual became enamored with you

He told his boy that told his boy, and now the word's out
He shared this information with his acquaintance, who then informed someone else, resulting in widespread knowledge

My man approachin' me with rumors that he heard about
My friend is confronting me with rumors that he recently heard

But dude a lame
However, that guy is unimpressive

He probably asked you can he work it out?
He most likely inquired whether he can resolve the situation

I swear, y'all, betta keep the game on 'em
I promise, everyone, need to maintain the deception

Yeah, y'all, now watch me change on 'em
Yes, everyone, now observe as I alter my behavior towards them

Rule one: never tell your nigga who you fucked
First rule: never inform your significant other about individuals you have engaged in sexual activities with

And always smile back if he tell you he in love
Furthermore, always respond with a smile if he confesses his love for you

Rule two: most men try to control you
Second rule: the majority of men attempt to exert control over you

Take my advice, 'cause it's so true what women go through
Heed my guidance because it accurately reflects the experiences women endure

And rule three: you thinkin' he don't cheat and he committed?
Lastly, are you under the impression that he remains faithful and fully devoted?

He still get invitations from the last girl he been with
He still receives invitations and advances from his previous romantic partner

Bet his ho be mad; I bet she tell you that he hit it
I am willing to wager his former lover is angry; I am confident she has informed you that they had sexual relations

Just check inside his pocket; find another bitches digits
Simply inspect the contents of his pocket; you will discover contact information of other females

I said: 'Boy, don't you know what you do to me?'
I exclaimed: 'My dear, are you not aware of the impact you have on me?'

He said: 'But I don't usually.'
He responded: 'However, I typically do not.'

I said: 'Boy, don't you know what you do to me?'
