Lyrics

Phone rings

Guy: Whose dick you sucking?

Girl: Don`t call me with that bullsh*t, alright

Guy: You lying, you lying to me, Di

Girl: Yeah exactly

Guy: Whose dick you sucking? C`mon Di, I just heard some sh*t about

you, some foul sh*t. The f**k is the deal?

Girl: Suck my f**king dick you b*tchass n*gga! I don`t

Guy: No you explain it to me b*tch. You know what I`m talking about.

Girl: I don`t know nobody up here! I don`t f**k with nobody up here and

I ain`t been f**king with nobody up here! I don`t know nobody in

f**king Yonkers!

Guy: Lying ass b*tch. You ain`t sh*t. Do I got to hollar his name too?

Girl: Who the f**k is he!?

Guy: b*tch you f**kin up!

hangs up

Chorus:

"All I want is you, all I want" (Background)

What type of games is being played, how`s it going down?

If it`s on till it`s gone, then I gots to know now

Is you wit me or what, they gon try to give me a nutt

Just honeys wanna give me the butt, wha..

I`m politicking with this chick and wondering if I`ma creep her

Little hoodrat b*tch from 25th named Tenika

Coming through, like I do, you know

Getting my bark on

Knew she was a thug because when I met her she had a scarf on

5411, size 7 in girls

Babyface, would look like she was 11 with curls

Girlfriend,(what?), remember me, from way back, I`m the same cat

With the wave cap the motherf**ker that tnt used to blaze at

Still here so it`s all good

Oh you know my n*ggas Rich and them doing they thing on 35th Damn

It`s a small hood, and it`s all wood, so let me get that number

I get up, aight

Hit you on da track later on, see wassup

Talking to shorty made me wanna do something nice

Looking at that ass made me wanna do something tonight

And I know right when I see right, shorty looking like she tight

She bite, let her give a n*gga the green light, we might..

Chorus - 2x

I`m getting at shorty like what you need, what you want

Offer nothing, cuz I got you, must you front?

I see you with your baby father but it don`t matter

Since you gave me the p*ssy, that ass is getting fatter

Let that n*gga play daddy, make moves with me

I done kept it more than real boo, can`t lose with me

Heard he smacked you `cuz you said my name while y`all was sexin`

Ran up on this cat, thought was me, and started flexin`

You know I ain`t even with that

So he gon` have to get that just on TP

Try to creep me, what? Leave that n*gga sleepy

On the strength of you, that`s your kid`s daddy

I ain`t gon` send him on his way, put him up in that big caddy

But let him know

Never mind yo, I need you to go

Take this snow up to 150, see Joe

Get that, come back with that

We can split that, sit back

f**k, puff a L, forget that

You wit dat?

Chorus - 2x

Aiyyo this chicken got me digging her moves, `cuz she smooth

Win or lose, whoever she choose, it`s the dues

Respect is not expected but it`s given `cuz it`s real

Being neglected the norm, expect it, the deal

Lie, cheat, and steal for me

Putting something in a n*gga`s wig if you squeal for me

Kill for me, you still with me

`Cuz we get down like what

Told you from the door, it ain`t all about a nutt

I`m gon` be fair, try to be there

We gon` see then, hit me with the question boo

That answer gon` be yeah

See there, something can go wrong, it does

Love`d it, Let it go

but it came back, that`s how strong it was

But you belonged to Cuz, couldn`t belong to me

You had two kids by this n*gga, it was wrong for me

But we gon` always be, best of friends

haha

Mad love, Boo, to the end

haha

Chorus to Fade
