Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Why ya new girl's a mess
See that I was the best
And now you callin' me a hater
Instigator
But I'ma do what I do
To break up the two of you
What's so different 'bout her
It's plain to see that I'm hurt
And I don't care if I'm a hater
Instigator
But I'ma do what I do
To break up the two of you
I saw you with your girl
She ain't your type
Your dissin' me for her
And that ain't right
You need to let her go
'Cause I hear the chick is just a hoe, hoe, hoe
But hold up yo
Two weeks ago
Said that you love me
But then broke it off
Watch out whatcha do
'Cause I'm comin' through
Ain't no love for you
How could you hurt me so
Look at the way she dress
Why ya new girl's a mess
See that I was the best
And now you callin' me a hater
Instigator
But I'ma do what I do
To break up the two of you
Guess who I saw - with her new boo
Was your shorty, she's playin' you
Cheated on me
Now it's comin' back to you times three
My friends say that you
Ain't worth my time
But I can't get you off my mind
Try to act hard, boy you broke my heart
Let me start, in the dark
I won't stop - I won't stop
No, no
Look at the way she dress
Why ya new girl's a mess
See that I was the best
And now you callin' me a hater
Instigator
But I'ma do what I do
To break up the two of you
Look at the way she dress
Why ya new girl's a mess
See that I was the best
And now you callin' me a hater
Instigator
But I'ma do what I do
To break up the two of you
