Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

Friends, tell me I am crazy
That I'm wasting time with you
You'll never be mine
Just be good to me

Ha, Just be good to green
All I need is a woman to be good to me
I'm an easy man, I'm easily pleased
An you provide me with everything that I need
Look you know I make ends I grind
So hold onto yours we're spending mine
Though you try I never let you buy
But If I was broke would you still be spending time?

Yes
An I believe you would
Don't think P's to fucked to treat you good
I walk street with you, talk deep with you
Even slip an spend all week with you
Then I'm off, you wish I'd put an end to the torment
Stop, but one thing it's not ever is boring
What would you rather me be like?
I ain't ever gonna change are you ever gonna realize?

Always talk about
Look, people are always gonna talk babes,
Reputation

Shit, but it ain't like you don't know what mine is
I don't care what you do to them
Nah

Look babes, you know who I am
But as crooked as I am
I'll be as good as I can
I try an try though its evident my
Angel face is disguise for the devil inside
You're good to me, I ain't good to girls, me?
I'm a bad boy something every good girl needs, hehe
Honesty could avoid all your tantrums
But I'm a naughty boy and I always have been

I can't have you with me whenever I move
Whatever I do, I come back to you,
See the good attracts me and the crook attracts you
Whatever

We've all got our ways
Remember us talking?
Of course it was game
But it's all gone an changed
Now she's got me cutting of links like I'm trying to shorten my chain

Shit, but it ain't like you don't know what mine is
