Murphy Lee Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
[Verse 1: Murphy Lee]
Check, back in '93 I had it all
I was a kid, yo I grew up on the "Player's Ball"
Shiit, born in the 80's man, St. Louis Hailey Ann
Showin' my jewels to prove I was the ladies' man
Shake all the ladies' hands, feel on the ladie's pants
I'm doin' the latest dance, makin' the hatas glance
To make my mama proud, look how it turned out
Well lemme get back on my bullshit
To be a playa yo you had to learn to push it
Yo, 'cause it was crazy how we hooked up
I looked up, found my face in her butt like "What the fuck?"
"Stop, what you doin? get yo face out my fanny"
Tuckin' her shirt in so I wouldn't see her panties
We laughed, and that was a beginning of a past
That keep on huntin' my ass, now who the asshole..
[Hook: Avery Storm]
I don't really think
I don't think that you..
I don't think you say "my ways"
I don't think I want to stay..
I don't think that you can say, your way
I've done made a lot of mistakes befo'
Yo my girl, I think I better go..
[Verse 2: Murphy Lee]
Yo, yo, yo..verse 2 is how we set it off
It took ya derrty 2 years just to get it off
Shiit, and even though it wasn't bout that
'cause we was young and I knew I'd be the first cat (eh-eh)
And I got proved wrong, and I knew all along
Cause 2 years lata someone said they was the first to bone
Now I got a circumstance on my hands
Supposed to be her man, first one in her pants
I stayed wit her, spent much years, days wit her
Laid in the shade wit her, sit and played spades wit her
I always knew that it would happen again
So on the side I always kept about 2 or 3 friends
Two wrongs don't make a right, but yeah right
I was in love, you what it took to keep it tight
A year later, the shit didn't shape up
I caught her on the Kastle lot straight shakin' her butt
Whut?
[Hook: Avery Storm]
I don't really think
I don't think that you..
I don't think you say "my ways"
I don't think I want to stay..
I don't think that you can say, your way
I've done made a lot of mistakes befo'
Yo my girl, I think I better go..
[Verse 3: Murphy Lee]
Verse 3 is how I fell for it
If a happy home at 70, you gotta go through hell for it
I answered calls and chanced it all
Knowin' damn well we wasn't advancin' at all
Now we back at Mickey D's and movies
Chicken from Popeye's, "I know a biscuit come wit this two piece!"
Her attitude used to urk me, sweet as can be
Booty like pie, but bah, please dessert me
And I'm not gonna be able to do it
And she knew if we spent time together we'd be right back to it
Yeep, she be like "spend the night", I be like "damn right"
But when I wake up in the mornin' man I see the light
I got the same circumstance on my hands
Instead of bein' a man, controllin' what's in my pants
I left, I thought it'd been the end of the mess
But she still call my phone to death, I need help..
[Hook: Avery Storm]
I don't really think
I don't think that you
I don't think you say "my ways"
I don't think I want to stay
I don't think that you can say, your way
I've done made a lot of mistakes befo'
Yo my girl, I think I better go

Showin' my jewels to prove I was the ladies' man
I showed off my jewelry to prove that I was a ladies' man
Shake all the ladies' hands, feel on the ladie's pants
I shook hands with all the ladies and touched their pants
I'm doin' the latest dance, makin' the hatas glance
I was doing the latest dance and making the haters jealous
I'm wit the older crowd, big brother showed me how
I hung out with an older crowd and my big brother showed me how to be cool
To make my mama proud, look how it turned out
I wanted to make my mom proud and look how I turned out
Well lemme get back on my bullshit
Let me get back to my old ways
To be a playa yo you had to learn to push it
To be a player, you had to know how to push yourself
Yo, 'cause it was crazy how we hooked up
It was crazy how we got together
I looked up, found my face in her butt like "What the fuck?"
I looked up and my face was in her butt and I was surprised

Verse 2 is how we set it off

It took two years for someone to release a response to me (referring to Nelly's song 'Batter Up')
Shiit, and even though it wasn't bout that
And even though it wasn't about that
'cause we was young and I knew I'd be the first cat (eh-eh)
Because we were young and I knew I would be the first person to succeed (referring to his career)
And I got proved wrong, and I knew all along
And I was proven wrong, but I knew it all along
Cause 2 years lata someone said they was the first to bone
Two years later, someone claimed to be the first person to sleep with a woman I was with
Now I got a circumstance on my hands
Now I have a problem to deal with
Supposed to be her man, first one in her pants
I was supposed to be her boyfriend and the first one to sleep with her
I stayed wit her, spent much years, days wit her
I stayed with her and spent many years and days with her
Laid in the shade wit her, sit and played spades wit her
I relaxed in the shade with her and played spades with her
I always knew that it would happen again
I always knew that history would repeat itself
So on the side I always kept about 2 or 3 friends
So on the side, I kept two or three other friends
Two wrongs don't make a right, but yeah right
Two wrongs don't make a right, but it's hard to resist
I was in love, you what it took to keep it tight
I was in love and I did what it took to keep things together
A year later, the shit didn't shape up
A year later, things didn't improve
I caught her on the Kastle lot straight shakin' her butt
I caught her shaking her butt in the Kastle parking lot
Yeep, she be like "spend the night", I be like "damn right"
She asked me to spend the night and I agreed
But when I wake up in the mornin' man I see the light
But when I wake up in the morning, I see things clearly
I got the same circumstance on my hands
I have the same problem again
Instead of bein' a man, controllin' what's in my pants
Instead of being a man and controlling myself
I left, I thought it'd been the end of the mess
I left, thinking it would be the end of the problem
But she still call my phone to death, I need help..
But she still calls my phone incessantly, and I need help
