not today
Dr. Dre Feat. Mary J Blige Lyrics

This is another one of those heartbreak hotel joints for the ladies
The song is a sad one for women who have been hurt by men

Why won't you grow up & be a man someday
It's time for the man to act like a grown-up

I can't believe that you're still playing silly games
The man is still doing childish things

Now why do I put up w/ all this child's play
Why does she tolerate his immature behavior?

Now if your word is all you have
The only thing the man has to offer is his promises

Then you ain't worth a damn thing
If you don't keep your promises, you're worthless

Promises you told me every day
The man made a lot of promises

That you made you never ever kept
But he never kept them

By me I really want to believe
The woman wants to trust the man

But not today, not today, not today, not today
But not anymore, not today, not ever again

You're the worst
The man is terrible

I can't even depend on you
She can't rely on him

you say a lot of good things
The man talks a good game

But something else you always do
But he always does something else

Be a man of your word
The woman wants the man to keep his promises

Try to love something other than you
The woman wants the man to care about something other than himself

But now you can be on your way
It's time for the man to leave

Cause I don't want you to stay
She doesn't want him around anymore

Promises bout our house
The man made promises about their future together

Bout the kids
He promised things about their future children

Lifestyle we would live
He promised a certain lifestyle

Who the fuck you really is
Who is he really, anyway?

In my face
He's always around

All the time
It never stops

Spittin' line after line
He's always making promises

Broke down my wall and you got in my mind
He broke through her defenses and got into her head

You's a fake shoulda known
He's a phony and she should have seen it

All the signs I was wrong
She missed all the signs that he was no good

Believed what I saw
She trusted what she saw, even though it wasn't real

And your cover was blown
His true nature was exposed

Breakup, leave
Their relationship is over

Make up, please
But he wants to get back together

You's a magician all them tricks up your sleeve
He's a master at deception

Had me for a minute
She fell for it for a while

I was in it
She was swept up in the lies

you played good
He was convincing

But I'mma get you
But now she's going to get him back

I'mma make moves
She's going to take action

And I'mma leave you where you at dog, chill
She's going to leave him behind and move on

Go back to square one
He'll have to start from scratch

Wait for something real
He should wait for something genuine

Selfish nigga
The man is selfish

Could have helped you nigga
She could have been there for him

Usually know betta but I felt you nigga
But she should have known better than to trust him

I guess getting in my head was a part of the plan
He intentionally manipulated her

Cause in reality the only thing you giving me is
In reality, he's not giving her anything at all

Don't let him waste your time girl
She shouldn't waste any more time on him

He's only telling lies girl
He's not telling the truth

And when he apologizes (and he will)
He'll probably apologize, but it won't be sincere

Don't be believing that man
She shouldn't believe him anymore

Cause he gon' do it again
Because he'll do the same thing again
