Let Me Tell Ya
K.I.R.K Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

[Intro]
Want to be your man, please, tell you why
(I know what y'all thinking)
Doop doop doop doop doop doop
(First he can't be my man, now he want to be my man)
(I wish this nigga make his mind up)
Can't live my life, tell you why
(All my niggas man we gonna have be 21 bout this shit you know)
Oh baby, oh baby
(We gonna step out the track for one sec, one sec)

[Verse 1]
Now what I got to say, seal with a kiss
Know I can't be your man why I feel like this
What I need with a woman when I live like this
Different chicks running in and out the crib like this
Maybe five, maybe six, seven, eight'll be enough
Plus the twins make ten but for you I give it up
Set times to the side just for us to live it up
Walking out a rav farm, purple label linen up
It's hard for me to discuss what I had vision for us
Lots of trust, and a crib worth a couple million plus
So what if I got a pass, labeled a dirt bag
By the minute, hearts I broken and women I hurt bad
Might I add Christian Dior and fur jackets
A part of the pack, but still far from a marriage
It's easy to lose balance when hearts just start caring
With the attractions apparent, its hard to stop staring

[Chorus]
Hey baby let me tell you something, come here I need to tell you something
(Tell you why)
Hey shorty let me tell you something, want to talk need to tell you something
(doop doop doop doop doop doop doop)
Lil mama let me tell you something, I want to tell you something
(Cant live my life, without you)
Hey baby let me tell you something, Shorty I've been meaning to tell you something
(Oh baby, oh baby)

[Verse 2]
If I can get a little bit of your time, shorty
I got some shit I want to get out my mind, and I know
You get enough of niggas hollering ya fine (hey
Ask, ask ya friend man, man I got this)
Introductions seem to bug you, them partners of mine
My bad, I know you think I'm probably lying
Then I'ma stop to conversate, relates all of ya time, man
Look, but half of that shit is all in ya mind
Say you should follow your heart and I'm follow my mind
But anyway, when I see yo' face
I'm thinking three or four days in Montego Bay
At the Half Moon, but I know she goin' say
I already have too many hoes, I know
But if I had you, all the dough I'd blow
On eleven karat pink stones trillion row
I want to be the reason why you showing ya teeth
Without a worry in the world when you rolling with me

[Chorus]





(I Want To Be Your Man)
