If you my dog, let me hear you bark
It ain't my fault that the thought that hit your heart
Split you apart, you should've kept your guard
Trying to play it hard last night pulled up in a black Lex in a yard
Talk a lotta Ra Ra, ya gonna murder me
You got the wrong conspiracy, this ain't Kennedy
Jealousy get ya no where wit Lady C
You want a wish you better I dream of genie
Yo, all I left her was a broken heart
And a bunch of lies that I told her
And I bounced before the sheets, were warm
See, I'm the type to love them
And leave them for no reason, I'll be out the door
I don't catch feelings 'cuz my heart is cold
See, I'm that brother that your mother tried to warn you 'bout
But you just had to try it, now you crying on yo mamas couch
You put your heart in the fire, baby, it burned up
So, here's a little story 'bout a lesson you should learn from
It ain't my fault that I'm a dog, I've been in love before
But me, I picked the apple that was rotten to the core
I put the world at her feet she kicked it in the dirt
Now, I won't fall in love 'cuz I'll end up gettin' hurt
It ain't my fault that I'm a dog, I've been in love before
But, the trust I had in women as been thoroughly destroyed
I put the world at her feet she kicked it in the dirt
Now, I won't fall in love, 'cause I'm always gettin' hurt
Well, first of all it ain't my fault that the chick broke your heart
If you was hurt, you should have told me from the start
Instead of sending me the flowers all that candy and the Gucci shit
On the phone for hours gassing me like I'm some groupy b****
I've been hurt too, but that don't mean I'll hurt you
Never did I burn you, or front you like some do
Now, look at what we've come to it's young and it's stupid
How you blaming all of us for one chick that was rooking
It ain't my fault that you're a dog, I've been in love before
But you, you put the apple that was rotten to the core
I put the world at your feet, you kicked it in the dirt
Now, I won't show no love 'cause I'll end up gettin' hurt
It ain't my fault that you're a dog, I've been in love before
But the trust I have in men has been thoroughly destroyed
I put the world at your feet you kicked it in the dirt
Now, I won't show no love 'cuz I'm always gettin' hurt
I thought you was a angel God sent to me, must have be
But the memory of our love burned like a rub burned
But a thug learned never put your heart in a flame
Be a part of the game, play smart in the game
But I was young back then, dumb back then
But nowadays how I plays not the same
Controlling these games I know it can't do the pain
So don't come cry to me, lie to me
These days these women, just leave you bustin'
Penny less stuck with no benefits
F***ing for Benjamins, suckers like Guinea pigs
Thinking they innocent
If I let them in again, I may never win again
Like the Bulls with no Jordon, apifiniit
So when no love strong enough for me to be steppin' in
Where the booga basement love don't win for no more baby face it
It ain't my fault that I'm a dog, I've been in love before
But me, I picked the apple that was rotten to the core
I put the world at her feet, she kicked it in the dirt
Now, I won't fall in love 'cuz I'll end up gettin' hurt
It ain't my fault that I'm a dog, I've been in love before
But, the trust I had in women as been thoroughly destroyed
I put the world at her feet, she kicked it in the dirt
Now, I won't fall in love, 'cause I'm always gettin' hurt
It ain't my fault that you're a dog, I've been in love before
But you, you put the apple that was rotten to the core
I put the world at your feet, you kicked it in the dirt
Now, I won't show no love 'cause I'll end up gettin' hurt
It ain't my fault that you're a dog, I've been in love before
But the trust I have in men has been thoroughly destroyed
I put the world at your feet, you kicked it in the dirt
Now, I won't show no love 'cuz I'm always gettin' hurt
15 will get ya 20
Don't think it can't happen to you
15 will get ya 20
Don't think it can't happen to you
18 fresh out of school
Doin' the right thing playing by the rules
But one day she caught his eye
36 - 24 with a skirt size 5
He stepped to her and asked her name
Not even thinking to ask her age
She's so fine she had to be grown
Had he knew then what he knows now
She was only 16

Now the way you went
Got me in this messed up predicament
'cause i aint know how to be monagomous
I was caught in the wrong
Just walking through the mall
With a short on my arm

You can say I'm plain Jane, but it's not the same
I ain't into big names, but I like nice things
I watch boxing matches and football games
I wouldn't mind being an actress, but I love to sing
I like going out, talking walks and stuff
I don't run with many girls 'cause they talk too much
I enjoy quiet nights at home 'cause I'm next to ya
Though I'm ain't a virgin that don't mean I'm having s** ...

They just gave up on our entire generation
So, we were all pushed to the side
'Cuz we didn't see the world through our teachers eyes
When all we needed was a little bit of motivation
But because we wore our pants saggin' y'all labeled us gangster
And said we wasn't worth the time
There are so many things I never asked you
There are so many things I still don't know
There are so many things you...
Who is she
That be pagin' you and callin' all night?
Just tell me please
Ain't no need for you to try and lie now
Where did you go?
When you said that you where gonna be here
Boy, don't ya know?
Today I followed you over her crib
Ya must've been crazy, crazy and dumb
Ya thought I didn't see ya now didn't ya
Tried to sneak by me now didn't ya, didn't ya
Ya gonna be sorry 'cause I ain't the one

This is real hard for me to tell you because you my best friend
But you my boy so I'mma be straight up
Now you'z my boy and all but we need to talk
Let's stop at a store, bring ya ball
Let's hit the park, I'm gonna rap for a min
But don't take it too hard
'Cuz I'm hopin' afterwards ya still be my partner
It's hard for me to express how I'm feelin'
And when you hear this news
You might fly thro...
I don't understand why you had to go
I guess I'll never know
An' life seems so hard since you went your way
There's still some things I've got to say
Even though I'm all alone
I know you want me to be strong
Standin' tall amidst the rain
Without you life just ain't the same
And there are so many things I'd like to ask you
And there are so many things I still don't know
And there are so many th...

Hello, yo shorty:
I just got off the phone and
Robby told me...
It's a ghetto fairytale
Hey yeah yeah yeah
It was two weeks before my son's birthday
DT's ringing my bell
Ma'am we need to ask a few questions
They told me the raid would go down any day
If I was smart I wouldn't tell
No no
It was all over him, you're my boyfriend the criminal
He was caught up in the game
And the FBI warned if I didn't go along
They'd make sure I never saw my son or my boyfrie...
Now the way it went
Got me in this messed up predicament
'Cause I ain't know how to be monogamous
I was caught in the wrong just walkin'
Through the mall with this shorty on my arm
Now I played the fool
Sittin' in the sneaker store buyin' shoes
My girl's best friend came strolling through
I tried to turn away but I moved too late
'Cause she already saw my face
I was hopin' she

Boys and girls, wanna hear a true story?
Saturday night, was at this real wild party
They had the liquor overflowin' the cup
About 5, 6 strippers tryin' to work for a buck
And I took one girl outside wit me
Her name was Lonni, she went to Jr. High wit me
I said, "Why you up in there dancin' for cash?
I guess a whole lot's changed since I seen you last"
She said, "What would you do if your son ...
City High, Booga Bassment
Here come another one, uh
I know things ain't work out for you and me, lady
But don't worry 'bout my child
'Cause I'm gonna take care of him baby
But I can't keep coming around breaking you off
'Cause it breaks my heart when we make love
And ain't no love involved
Tell me why should we screw if we can't get along?
What's the point in gettin' it on
Girl you know that i...
You don?t know me, they don?t know me
Y?all don?t know me so don?t try to judge me
'Cause I?m hard headed, I don?t wanna listen
Experience is my teacher, that?s how I?m gonna live my life
Now lately it seems as though you're actin? like you're someone else
And the way it used to be you could come to me and tell me what you felt
Now I heard they say what you see is what you get
But that ain?t a...
