Lyrics
There are two bars missing in the first verse in the last stanza(listed in parenthesis and capitals). here is the correct version:
Verse one: phife dawg
Went to carvel to get a milk shake
This honey ripped me off of my loot case
The car oh yeah there's money in my jacket
Somebody broke into my ride and cold macked it
Yo tip I tell you man the devil's trying it
But I'm goin to stay strong cause I ain't bying it
Tonight I'm taking sherry out
I don't have jack to wear
You know I've got to look dipped in the freshest gear
Cool I found something so I ironed it
I think I caught up on the phone
Oh shit I'm frying it
Will someone tell me what did I do to deserve this?
I think I'll pull out my suit for sunday service
My little brother wants barney, cool I'm getting it
Took him down to kay-bee, they ain't sellin it
Here we go with the crying, yo he's throwing fits
My blood pressure's blowing up, I can't take this shit
Finally got what he wanted now he's good to go
My ride's smashed again, were's my radio?
One time the car was in the shop I had to borrow see..
They had no mercy on the car oh you he'll kill me
Where the hell can nicki be? I'm goin to smack her up
I got the tickets for the knicks and she cold stood me up
I need to hit a hunny off yo drill pass me the phone
Pulled out my book of hoes, oh yo sheela's home
Steady smiling like a mother yo I'm wrecked to bone
Went down on hun, she's in the red zone
Stressed out more than anyone could ever be
Forever trying to clear the sample for my new lp
(Everybody knows I go to georgia often
Got on a flight, and I ended up in boston)
With all these trials and tribulations yo I've been affected
And to top it off, starks got ejected
