Best Of Me
Jadakiss/Mya Lyrics

Uh, huh
Acknowledgment of agreement or understanding

I don't want to get the best of you, ha-ha (whoa)
I don't want to take advantage of you or make you a lesser version of yourself

Yo, yo
Attention-getting phrase

You put me on
You introduced me to something or someone

I can't let, (nah, yeah) let him go no
I can't let go of my current partner

(I just want to get what's left of you, ha)
I just want what remaining affection you have to offer

Can't let you get, oh no (Yo, yo)
Can't let you end up with me instead (attention-getting phrase)

He has a little game that he plays
He has a little trick or tactic that he uses

Clever little ways and a hot boy style
Sneaky tactics and an attractive appearance

Brags about the dough that he makes
He boasts about the money he earns

Flash a little cash most girls wild out
He shows off his wealth, causing many girls to become excited

Lately he's been checking for me
Recently, he's been trying to get with me

Telling me how much he wants to be
He's been telling me how much he desires to be with me

Wants to be the one to replace
He wants to replace my current partner

Replace the man that waits at home for me
Replace the man who's waiting for me at home

But oh no I can't let you
But I can't let you

Get the best of me
Take advantage of me or become my only focus

Even though deep inside
Despite how I truly feel underneath it all

Something's dying to see
A part of me wants to see

How you flow out them clothes
How your clothes move with your body

Then you put it on me
Then you entice me sexually

Feelings coming on strong
My emotions are becoming intense

I know that it's wrong
I'm aware that this is not right

The best of me
My ultimate self or essence

So busy trying to play with my head
So focused on trying to manipulate me

Telling me how he could blow my mind
Claiming he could give me an amazing sexual experience

Something about the things that he said
The things he said had an effect on me

Made me want to take it there one time
Made me want to have sex with him once

I should be walking away
I should be leaving

Cause his hands up on my thigh
Because his hands are touching my thigh

Should I leave, should I stay?
Should I go or should I stay with him?

After all it's just one night
It's only one night of sex, after all

You put it on me
You sexually entice me

Yo, yo, yo I got so many bags of money
I have so much money in bags

That they won't fit in the bank
The bank won't be able to store all of my money

And I'm a do this just like Tony did it to Frank
I'm going to do this just like Tony did to Frank (a reference to the movie Scarface)

But I'm a make sure both y'all win
But I'm going to make sure that both you and my current partner benefit

Let him keep the place you move
Let him keep the place you are moving from

And I'm a pay both y'all rent
And I'm going to pay both of your rent

So forget about the condo and come to the crib
So forget about the condo and come to my home

'Cause the castle over the mountain come with a bridge
Because the castle on the mountain has a bridge leading up to it

You know literally we can go shopping in Italy
We could actually go shopping in Italy

Hand on her thigh she don't want to get rid of me
My hand on her thigh and she doesn't want to leave me

And she don't drink or know how a L look
She doesn't drink or know what an L (a type of marijuana cigarette) looks like

Chanel look mixed with the Pete Arnell look
A combination of a Chanel style with a Pete Arnell style (a fashion photographer)

You just stay pretty while I'm running the city
You just stay beautiful while I'm out taking care of business in the city

When I whip the V you can hold the joint if you with me
When I drive my car (a reference to a Cadillac Escalade, also called a V), you can hold the joint (a marijuana cigarette) if you're with me

Vacation cost a hundred and fifty we living it up
The vacation costs $150 and we're enjoying ourselves

I put it on your ass if you giving up
I have sex with you if you're willing to have sex with me

And you know I'm not a hater
And you know I'm not envious or spiteful

And if you feel bad then you can call him later
If you feel guilty, you can call your current partner later

And tell him you all Jada's
And tell him that you belong to Jada

You ain't gonna get to me
You're not going to affect me

Oh yeah, oh...
Sound of agreement or satisfaction
