I finally learned my lesson
No half-stepping
Either you want it or you just playin'
I'm listening to you knowin'
I can't believe what you're sayin'
There's a million you's baby boo
So don't be dumb
I got 99 problems
But you won't be one

One less, one less problem

Head in the clouds
Got no weight on my shoulders
I should be wiser

Anybody else caught off guard when he didn't sing "I don't want no scrub, a scrub is a girl that can't get no love from me"

@JaredCesare

Brice Sanborn They probably didn't get rights from TLC because that's not Iggy's actual line...it's from TLC's "I Don't Want No Love"... they're probably broke now and looking to make some money off some bullshit

@Thedarkside02

Jared Cesare You mean TLC's No Scrubs?

@JaredCesare

haha yeah, sorry never said I was a fan of TLC
