Buyou
Hilson Keri Lyrics

One for the paper, two for the money
Money is the most important thing today and my girls know how to get it.

My girls get money?
We work hard to earn money and live a better life.

You see this what I like about?
I appreciate a man who takes care of himself and has his own things.

Buy you music, cause you better buy you a car,
Invest in yourself and buy the things you need, like a car.

You better buy you a phone
Make sure you have the basic necessities, like a phone.

You better buy somewhere to stay or I'ma walk right by you
If you don't have your own place to stay, then I'm not interested in you.

I don't know what's going on baby?
I'm confused and frustrated with how the relationship has changed.

What the hell is going wrong baby?
Something is not right in our relationship and I need answers.

Used to take me to dinner,
You used to treat me like a queen and take me out on nice dates.

Used to take me shopping
You used to buy me nice things and show me that you cared.

Now you're asking me for my paper
You have become dependent on my money and it's not fair.

It's my money, boy my money,
I worked hard for my money and I don't want to give it away to someone who doesn't appreciate it.

Bet'chya never ever get another dime from me
I won't give you any more money because I know you won't appreciate it.

No you can't use the phone baby
If you don't have your own phone, then you can't use mine.

I think you need, get your own
Take responsibility for your own life and get the things you need yourself.

Was looking for a man to hold me down
I was looking for someone who could support me and be there for me.

But how'd did I end up with you? Yeah, with you
I'm not sure how we ended up together because you're not living up to my expectations.

And as hard as I try,
I'm doing everything I can to make this relationship work.

Sometimes it gets hard,
It's difficult to keep up with the bills and expenses all by myself.

Paying all these bills
I'm responsible for paying all the necessary expenses.

The note on my car,
I have a car payment that I need to keep up with.

So I don't need no broke broke boy trying to holla
I don't want someone who can't support themselves trying to pursue me.

So baby shut it up please show me dollars hey!
If you want my attention, then you need to be able to support yourself financially.

Brand new bags, new shoes yea I want it
I want the finer things in life, like new bags and shoes.

All my girls fly girls getting money
All of my friends are independent and successful women.

Nails did hair did, yup yup I want it
I want to look good and take care of myself, which includes getting my nails and hair done.

You wanna ride or die chick baby?
Do you want a supportive partner who will be there for you no matter what?

But you ain't got a whip baby
But if you don't have a car, then you can't be my ride or die.

Yeah, it ain't gotta happen
If you're not willing to take care of yourself, then we can't be together.

Don't got shit you need a walk or die chick baby yeah
If you don't have anything, then you need to be able to walk or take care of yourself.

Don't look my way if you ain't got that money
If you can't support yourself and take care of your own expenses, then I'm not interested in you.

And I'm making nothin' to eat baby
I'm not in a position to provide for someone else financially.

I think its time you treat baby
It's time for you to start taking care of yourself and providing for yourself.

Stringing you along allow me to untie you
I don't want to string you along, it's time for me to let you go.

Vitamin D supply you
I can provide emotional support, but I can't support you financially.

Let them little boys walk by you
If you can't support yourself, then you won't get my attention.

They fronting cause they broke
They're trying to act like they have money, but they don't have the means to support themselves.

But the numbers don't lie
It's important to be honest about your financial situation.

If they swear they so fly tell me why they never fly you
If they're so successful, then why aren't they able to support themselves or pursue a relationship with me?

Get ya own (getting money)
Take responsibility for your own life and financial situation.

I don't need no broke broke boy tryna holla
I don't want someone who can't support themselves trying to pursue me.

Col' world!
The world is cold and harsh, especially when it comes to money and finances.

I see ya,
I recognize and acknowledge other successful people.

It's hard not to see ya
Successful people stand out and it's hard not to notice them.

Face like Aaliyah
You have a beautiful face, like the late singer Aaliyah.

And plus a college degree-ah
You're not just beautiful, but you're also intelligent and educated.

Climbing up the ladder at that full time job
You work hard and are successful in your career.

Tell me how the hell you end up with a full time slob (good God)
How did you end up with a man who doesn't take care of himself or support himself financially?

I mean you been a ride a die for him
You've been there for him and supported him, even though he hasn't done the same for you.

Paid for the dinner and the movie and the popcorn
You've paid for everything in the relationship and he hasn't contributed anything financially.

How you figure it's gon' last, he just sit up on his ass
The relationship won't last if he doesn't start taking responsibility and contributing financially.

And play that damn x-box that you cop for him
He's not appreciative of the things you do for him and just spends his time playing video games.

Buyou, buyou, how much to try you
How much do I need to offer to get your attention?

Ain't saying you for sale but baby lets be for real
I'm not suggesting that you're for sale, but money and finances are an important part of any relationship.

Buyou, buyou, shit that I can buy you
I'm willing to provide financial support, but I need to know that you can support yourself as well.

These niggas all the same, either they can't ari' you
Most men are the same and can't support themselves or provide financially in a relationship.

Stringing you along allow me to untie you
I don't want to string you along, it's time for me to let you go.

Vitamin D supply you
I can provide emotional support, but I can't support you financially.

Let them little boys walk by you
If you can't support yourself, then you won't get my attention.

They fronting cause they broke
They're trying to act like they have money, but they don't have the means to support themselves.

But the numbers don't lie
It's important to be honest about your financial situation.

If they swear they so fly tell me why they never fly you
If they're so successful, then why aren't they able to support themselves or pursue a relationship with me?

Get ya own (getting money)
Take responsibility for your own life and financial situation.

I don't need no broke broke boy tryna holla, holla, holla
I don't want someone who can't support themselves trying to pursue me.
