Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

Yeah yeah its kinda hard sayin' this shit to ya face
So I do it over snares and bass
Music take me away

[Chorus]
I got to hold on, hold on to my receipt
Jus' to redeem your love that's exactly what I need
Yeah, yeah, yeah, c'mon
Young boy, I know ya love me like ya never loved.
Ya know ya couldn't find a better thug, and uh
You been peepin' me since I was younger,
So young that ya even called me ya little brother
But I'm all grown up now, I got my own money.
I'm married and divorced and my daughter is a woman.
And guess what? My daughter want another
Sister or brother and you lookin' like a mother.
I took you from a clubber to a lover
And you took another bitch husband.
The other bitch wasn't doin' shit for him.
She say she did too much I say she did nothin'.
She need to quit frontin'.
I haven't hid nothin' and you love everything.
Cant hide your feelin's wont let my pride conceal it.
Ya got Wayne, I charge it to the game, so baby you can keep the change
But

I got to hold on, hold on to my receipt
Jus' to redeem your love that's exactly what I need
(Its kinda hard sayin' this shit to ya face)

(Music take me away)

I got to hold on, hold on to my receipt
Jus' to redeem your love that's exactly what I need
(Its kinda hard sayin' this shit to ya face)

Destiny Child C-D song number 3.
She cater to me 'til we fall asleep,
Then we wake up and we pick up where we started
Then she make a nigga breakfast, sprite, orange juice, and water
She on stage waitin' for me after my show
So know time for groupies straight to the top flo'
Yeah, fresh out the shower, a smile and a towel, then after an hour
She goin' need another shower
When I'm at home in my coupe or the office in the streets or in the booth
I'm thinkin' bout you
And most of the girls that come by are cute
And they try to holla but they all on mute
And my old girls turn they face up at me, yeah
They throw they purses and they makeup at me
Cause you got Wayne
I charge it to the game and baby you can keep the change
But

I got to hold on, hold on to my receipt
Jus' to redeem your love that's exactly what I need
(Its kinda hard sayin' this shit to ya face)
(So I do it over snares and bass)

Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah
Come home smell the food on the stove
She done cleaned the whole house washed the dishes and the clothes
And when we out, we do it just like we supposed
Look good for the public leave the drama in the Rolls
Royce, choice of car that we move in.
She get high sometimes cause I'm always doin' it yeah
Ya here them hallways we always doin' it yeah
But cause every time feel like the first one
Perfect, when a nigga stressed of that work
She take away all the pain make it lesser than dirt
That's why, you got Wayne
