She said
(He was creepin')
He said
(They weren't creepin')
But I heard
(She was cheatin')
But you said
(Don't believe it)

His friend say
(That it's gossip)
I believe
(It's all lies)
Said she saw
(With her own eyes)
I don't know what to believe

Hey Fallon
(Wassup?)
Did you hear what Farrah said?
(No)
She said that she saw Tasha creepin' wit my man
(Is that a fact?)
Damn, ain't that a shame?

But Tasha's my best friend, oh no, I don't understand
But let me give you the exclusive and break it down to ya
She saw him at the movies, at the mall buyin' her jewelry
Wait, don't jump to conclusion 'cause this might be confusion
In fact I'm still confused, so slow it down and walk me through it

She said
(He was creepin')
He said
(They weren't creepin')
But I heard
(She was cheatin')
But you said
(Don't believe it)

His friend say
(That it's gossip)

(Yeah?)
It seems all your cheatin' and playin' caught up wit you
(What's you mean?)

Just got off the phone with your woman's best friend
She saw the car, saw you creepin' wit that girl again
Oh my, wait a minute, we been down since the beginning
Though I was never the type to go and cheat on woman
Yeah, I know nothings ever what it seems
I'm just here to let you know what the word on the street is

She said
(He was creepin')
He said
(They weren't creepin')
But I heard

So, you believe some one saw me with another girl?
Now, you tellin' me my sister gotta be a lie
No, I was with my cousin when she saw us passin' by

She startin' drama 'bout us, now I gotta pay the price
So, why she tellin' me she saw you with the same girl twice?
These accusations, I just can't take it
I don't know what to do because you cheatin'
