(feat. Dem Franchize Boyz)

R-R-R-Rock then bend my knees, every time the beat drop

[Hook:]
I can't help who I'm is when they play my shhh
I just love to dance every time the beat drop
I love to wild out damn right shake it all night
Ay that's my jam every time the beat drop
I said ohhh all the ladies in the club grab a dude
And you work it real slow you can do it
Move it till you make him lose it
(r-r-r-rock then bend your knees every time the beat drop)
He gon' be a fan every time the beat drop

[Verse 1:]
I know you used to seeing Mo laid back
So for the most part you think I'm like that (dig this)
You about to get a glimpse of the fit
I'm getting niggas on the floor mane when I hit the door mane
Cause I ain't one of these too bourgeois broads
Always in the club holding up the wall (now dig this)
You about to get a taste of the way that we do it down here in the A
Let me say

[Hook:]
I can't help who I'm is when they play my shhh
I just love to dance every time the beat drop
I love to wild out damn right shake it all night
Ay that's my jam every time the beat drop
I said ohhh all the ladies in the club grab a dude
And you work it real slow you can do it
Move it till you make him lose it
(r-r-r-rock then bend your knees every time the beat drop)
He gon' be a fan every time the beat drop

[Verse 2:]
Now I ain't talking bout a little two step
I'm talking bout something that'll make you sweat
And when I talk well I'm through talking
I'm about to do something move something let you see something
When I say get gutta it's enough said
Do the bounce like you over on Bankhead
And if anybody got a problem with the way you doin you
Look 'em dead in the face and say

[Hook:]
I can't help who I'm is when they play my shhh
I just love to dance every time the beat drop
I love to wild out damn right shake it all night
Ay that's my jam every time the beat drop
I say ohhh all the ladies in the club grab a dude
And you work it real slow you can do it
Move it till you make him lose it
(r-r-r-rock then bend your knees every time the beat drop)
He gon' be a fan every time the beat drop

[Rap:]
You know pimpin' make the beat drop fuckin' wit a laptop
I make 'em do it do it as soon as the beat drop
Might throw my towels out like Nick I like to wild out
I'm a stay in the game until I fall out
First I lean grab a ball and then I pop wit it (I pop wit it)
When they bring the mics the crowd I rock wit it (I rock wit it)
I never hind licks trying to get quick
When the songs on they like that's my shit

[Hook:]
I can't help who I'm is when they play my shhh
I just love to dance every time the beat drop
I love to wild out damn right shake it all night
Ay that's my jam every time the beat drop
I say ohhh all the ladies in the club grab a dude
And you work it real slow you can do it
Move it till you make him lose it
(r-r-r-rock then bend your knees every time the beat drop)
He gon' be a fan every time the beat drop

I can't help who I'm is when they play my shhh
I just love to dance every time the beat drop
I love to wild out damn right shake it all night
Ay that's my jam every time the beat drop
I say ohhh all the ladies in the club grab a dude
And you work it real slow you can do it
Move it till you make him lose it
(r-r-r-rock then bend your knees every time the beat drop)
He gon' be a fan every time the beat drop

[sample:]
"...with a dozen roses, such would astound you
The joy of children laughing around you, these are the makings of you
And it's true, the makings of you"

Boy you remind me, remind me of by gucci shoes
Everytime you walk past, all the girls be looking at you
You got style just like a bentley coupe
And I be losing my mind evertime I get next to you

I think i'm falling in love with you baby caught up in somehting
Thats moving so fast
Never been with nobody else you and I tighter
Than the jeans on my ass
You remind me of this thing something like
R. kelly singing bout a jeep
Boy you're everything to me and you're
My you're my property

Boy you remind me remind me of the ice on my ring boys you remind me
Of this
These are the makings of you and its true these are the
Makings of you

You remind me of the very first time you remind me of the time
We made love just like the 25th day of christmas waiting for
Sants clause to show up you got a heart of gold baby you should
Know baby you remind me of so much and baby you always stay on my
Mind your just like my rims you shine

Boy you remind me of 26s on my ride
Complete spinning around looking like a superstar
Boy you remind me of how life's suppose to be
This is what you remind me and your my your my property

Looking at you looking another baby I don't need another brother
Sex time around you I feel the same my body there no pressure baby
You know I keep it so real I can't help you got the whip appeal
Whats the deal tell me how you feel could it be me

Like the ice on my wrist its like kick on my hip
Mac in my lips armor oil on my whip butta on my shirmp
I'm the gladys you the pip I keep my hair flip the way you like to see
Me strip keep a money clip you remind me of a tip like a pair of jeans
From ambercrombie when they rip like a glass of wine everytime I take
A sip its you

Boy you remind me, remind me of by gucci shoes
Everytime you walk pass all the girls be looking at you
You got style just like a bentley coupe
And I be losing my mind evertime I get next to you

[sample:]
"...a dozen roses, such would astound you
The joy of children laughing around you, these are the makings of you
And it's true, the makings of you"

Ho,Ho,Sideline Ho, Youse a ho,youse a ho, sideline ho

[Verse 1:]
When you called his phone ,did he pick it up Noooooooooo,cause we was makin
love.
Did you meet his moms have you met his kids noo ooh o did you know my kid is his
Noo ooh o.

[Chorus:]
Get your shit together you're makin a fool of yourself
It don't matter if he spends the night his home is somewhere else
Ain't you tired of being on the side line
Tired of getting yours after i gets mine
baby second place don't get a prize
when you gone realize you wasting your time
baby ain't you tired of him leaving you broken whip and he rolling
and ain't you tired of when you need a little change and he lie about what he
holdin,
ain't you tired of spending all the holidays alone, tired of being his little
sideline ho

Do he take you out,do he foot your bills, noo ooh o,
cause I know what his balance is have you been to his church,
do he ask you to pray, nooo ooh o cause sundays Family day

[Chorus]

[Bridge x2:]
Do you got benefits,no,credit cards,no,house keys,no,
then you're a sideline ho,do you get pillow talk,no,held at night,no,
if you don't make his breakfast then you're a sideline ho

[Chorus]

[x3:]
Youse a ho,Youse a ho, sideline ho

[Monica: ab-libbing]

[Verse 1:]
My last tear just fell from my eyes
Told myself that I wasn't going to cry no more
(you did what you did, it is what it is) and that's why I walked out the door.
Moved on with my life, but not really
Spent too much time wondering how could you
(you do this to us while we we're in love) I guess I was thinking too much

[Bridge:]
I was thinking that the sex had your love
You never could get enought cause I kept it hot
I listen to you tell me your dreams
And your fears
I wiped your tears
I was there and this is why this is hurting me

[Chorus:]
Why her? Why her?
Did I get on your nerves?
Did I give you too much that you couldn't handle my love?
Why her? Why her?
Tell me what she was worth it, to make you put her first and deceive me.
You wanna come back but I gotta know (why her?)
I thought she was all that? Then why you at my door?
(Now look at you, look at us, what's all this for?
Hope you got the answers to my questions)
Why her?

[Verse 2:]
This going to be the last time we say goodbye
Aint going to be no reruns of this episode
(you did what you did, it is what it is) Maybe if you would of told me
You weren't happy, you weren't satisfied
We could of worked it out
Maybe we could of tried
(but you didn't say nothing) All of alone fakin' it in front of me. Why?

[Bridge:]
I was thinking that the sex had your love
You never could care enough but you know I cant deny
I listen to you tell me your dreams
And your fears
I wiped your tears
I was there and it hurts me

[Chorus:]
Why her? Why her?
Did I get on your nerves?
Did I give you too much that you couldn't handle my love?
Why her? Why her?
Tell me what she was worth it, to make you put her first and deceive me.
You wanna come back but I gotta know (why her?)
I thought she was all that? Then why you at my door?
(Now look at you, look at us, what's all this for?
Hope you got the answers to my questions)
Why her?

[Monica: talking while ab-libbing in the background]

Now ladies, yall know I speak from experience right?
I used to look at him and wonder why.
Why her?
Yah know what I'm saying?
But ladies, I learn not to worry about them living a happily ever after
Because that shit just build on a lie
So it should of fall
That's why I stand tall (baby, baby, baby)
I just looked at him and said this is why you

[Chorus:]
Why her? Why her?
Did I get on your nerves?
Did I give you too much that you couldn't handle my love?
Why her? Why her?
Tell me what she was worth, to make you put her first and deceive me.
The grass looks greener on the other side
But I promise youll be back tonight
Now look at u, look at us, whats all thios for, hope u got the answer to my
questions
Why her?

(feat. Twista)

It's the 17th one week before the day you were born, I been making big plans
just for over a month,
Trying to make this the best birthday you ever had show you that you're my baby,
damn all this strain got
Me feeling somethings wrong, pull up to my gate they keep saying he's gone,
found envolopes in between my
Door biggest day got me panicing what the hell this letter gonna read

Hell no
You say you don't want it no more
Hell no
You say you can't give me what I want
Hell no
How you just gonna leave when I stayed wit you through hard
Times and you cheated
Hell no
I hate to say it but I need it hell no
God please talk to me
Hell no
Your so called love was so deep when it told you, you should
Run far and not give a damn about me how could you leave me when you see me
desparately in need of
What we had before
I cried so many times but never did it cross my mind to think
But let it go

Didn't even ever see if we ever meant this shit before before but we been
Down this road before how could you leave me baby please my
Heart is beating for the beat we had before how could you leave home

Now I need you wanna laugh wanna stand wanna get just one more chace
Just to see you all my friends all my kin say mo just let
That end but I breath you in the drive way I found picutures on the
Groud of our first date I never in a million years though this
Would be me i'm trapped in love with somebody that no longer thinks
That i'm somebody special look at me

Hell no
You say you don't want it no more
Hell no
You say you can't give me what I want
Hell no
How you just gonna leave when I stayed wit you through hard
Times and you cheated
Hell no
I hate to say it but I need it hell no
God please talk to me
Hell no
Your so called love was so deep that it told you, you should
Run far and not give a damn about me how could you leave me when you see me
desparately in need of
What we had before
I cried so many times but never did it cross my mind to think
But let it go

How could you leave me when you see me desparately in need of
What we had before
I cried so many times but never did it cross my mind to think
But let it go

Didn't even ever see if we knew it relationship before but we been
Down this road before how could you leave me baby please my
Heart is beating for the beat we had before how could you leave home

[twista:]
I remember when you said I couldn't get none of that then I remember
When you let me hit it from the back I remember when we were young
And sprung and steady talking on the phone and how we both kept
Running back to each other we were always together forever to the end
I don't really know why I froze up planning for a wedding but you
Gettin marry it's scary now I got you crying cause a nigga didn't show
Up can't really tell you why but im twista from the chi and i'm dying
Inside cause I know I really want you so for leaving one day I will have
To give you a answer girl but right now can't tell you why I left
Sweet personality and good sex girl fear of take a man life you suppose to
Be my wife goodbye hope to see you in the next world

You was all up under me acting like you was so in love I was talking
About you but thug nigga what you runnin fa cop you in the benz
You the firt one seen on the block wit it took you to the club showed
You how to lean wit it rock wit it you was bold when you wanna get
Some of that when you wanna hit the hole like a running back then you
Left now you wanna come running back hell naw nigga I don't
Wanna hear none of that I know you quick betta spit that shit to so
I really wanna send you lose

How could you leave me when you see me desparately in need of
What we had before
I cried so many times but never did it cross my mind to think
But let it go

Didn't even see if we knew it relationship before but we been
Down this road before how could you leave me baby please my
Heart is beating for the beat we had before how could you leave home

All the women I caught you with still I didnt leave but I didn't
Forget all thoes women I caught you with maybe I should leave but i
Didn't forget

. . .


Yes, we finna set this shit off
On the 1 and 2 and 3
On the 1, 2, 3

Got a nigga, me and him, we be chillin'
We like to kick it, he be feelin' what I'm feelin'
We got plans, understand, he want some children
'Cuz together, we forever so appealin'

You'se a cute picture, I'm finna get with ya
Put it on you, make you wonder what hit ya
The type of nigga makin' 7 figures
Every girl be after them, go sugar

And he talk slicker, he pack a big kicker
Best to do it yet the way his tongue flicker
Oh, a good looker, I gotta book ya
Tell them girls to get back 'cuz I already took ya

My man be doin' me right, girl
Doin' me right, doin' me right
He give me what I like, girl
What I like, what I like

We make love all night, girl
My man be doin' me right, girl
Doin' me right, doin' me right

My baby not a playa, he's with me everywhere
And when I'm feelin' down, he tells me, ?Baby, stay up?
He's always straight up and never will we break up
He call to say I love you, that's how we'd make up

Trips to Jacob like a snow flaker
Shine so bright, he make the dead wake up
Great lover, how to handle favor
Keep my face sweaty 'til there is no more make up

My man be doin' me right, girl
Doin' me right, doin' me right
He give me what I like, girl
What I like, what I like

We make love all night, girl
My man be doin' me right, girl
Doin' me right, doin' me right

It feels so good to be so in love
And to have someone right by your side
Treatin' you right and doin' you right
He knows what's best for me
And he'll do anything
To keep me happy, my man

My man be doin' me right, girl
Doin' me right, doin' me right
He give me what I like, girl
What I like, what I like

We make love all night, girl
My man be doin' me right, girl
Doin' me right, doin' me right

1 and 2 and 3
1 and 2 and 3
1 and 2 and 3
1 and 2 and 3

I ain't never had nothing quite like this
And can't believe a girl done made a come up like this
Ain't never been in love like this before
I ain't never seen a ring shine like this
I ain't never had nobody fit me like this
I can't believe that all of this is happenin to me
If I'm dreamin let me sleep

Boy you
You got my back and baby I got yours, you
You got that lovin that I would die for
Boy i've been waitin all this time
And livin with nothing
But now I got

Now I got everything
I got a good man
I'm makin weddin plans yeah
The one I took home to mom and dad
He stole my heart
Now I got everything
Someone who dont cheat
Somebody who won't leave me lonely
Even though it took a lifetime to get here
Now I finally
I got everything its you

Never had no one go half on a baby
Someone to do it like I like, can serve me daily
No one ever love me like this before
I never had a house feel like a home
I never had a man that was full grown (like you)
Baby what'd I do to deserve you
I may never know
But I know I got you

You got my back and baby I got yours, you
You got that lovin that I would die for
Boy i've been waitin all this time
And livin with nothing
But now I got you

Now I got everything
I got a good man
I'm makin weddin plans yeah
The one I took home to mom and dad
He stole my heart
Now I got everything
Someone who dont cheat
Somebody who won't leave me lonely
Even though it took a lifetime to get here
Now I finally see
I got everything its you

Now that I got you
I never wnana lose you
I love everything you do
Don't wanna live without you
Just what i've been missin
All this love i'm givin
I wouldnt trade it for nothin
My everything is you

Now I got everything
I got a good man
I'm makin weddin plans yeah
The one I took home to mom and dad
He stole my heart
Now I got everything
Someone who dont cheat
Somebody who won't leave me lonely
Even though it took a lifetime to get here
Now I finally
I got everything its you

. . .


Holla, new Monica shit, yes
Oh, baby, yep

I been feelin' somethin'
You been treatin' me cold
You no longer wanna touch me
The love has gone old

And I don't feel special
The feelin' I need to feel
In my gut I'm feelin' somethin'
Another woman, keep it real

I, I had to go move on
'Cause you're not worthy of my love
And all we did was fight and fuss
And she would, she would call your phone
And you would act like I was wrong
For cursin' you all night long

Now to you if zip means nada
So don't call, don't page, don't follow
And you can see me in the club but don't holla
And if you see me lookin' good, don't bother

I know you hate to see me with my baby father
On the level as me, dun dada
Your loss but you gon' have to swallow
I do bad by myself, stop proper, stop proper

Now the last few months been different
'Cause you don't seem bad with time
You say you wanna stay with me
Did you go and change your mind?

You gettin' phone calls after midnight
It's not acceptable
It don't take a scientist for me to know
Another chick is on the low

I, I had to go move on
'Cause you're not worthy of my love
And all we did was fight and fuss
And she would, she would call your phone
And you would act like I was wrong
For cursin' you all night long

You, so unfair, if you cared
You wouldn't play games like this with me
So unfair, if you cared, you wouldn't do

I, I had to go move on
'Cause you're not worthy of my love
And all we did was fight and fuss
And she would, she would call your phone
And you would act like I was wrong
For cursin' you all night long

I can't stand for you to lie
She is in your eyes
This is serious, man

. . .



[Verse 1:]
Started as a little girl
Singing so changed my world
Flipped my world upside down
I got lost and I couldn't be found
So much on my shoulders
So much on my mind
Since no one can help me
I think I just need some time

[Chorus:]
Sometimes I wish I could hide away
Looking for a place to getaway
Getaway from all the heartache and pain that life can bring
I really don't want to sound
Like I can't hold my ground
But everybody needs some time
That they can getaway

[Verse 2:]
Sometimes I wish I was invisible
'Cause then no one will know
Where I am to ask me for anything
'Cause I've given so much of me
When it's a time for me to receive
'Cause Monica has her needs
Who's going to look out for me?

[Chorus:]
Sometimes I wish I could hide away
Looking for a place to getaway
Getaway from all the heartache and pain that life can bring
I really don't want to sound
Like I can't hold my ground
But everybody needs some time
That they can getaway

[Verse 3:]
You know I'm not superwoman
And I'm not made of steel
I try my best to handle
All I have to deal with
It's not as easy as it seems
And to think this was my dream
Now for everything I have I'm grateful
But sometimes I want to get away

[Chorus:]
Sometimes I wish I could hide away
Looking for a place to getaway
Getaway from all the heartache and pain that life can bring
I really don't want to sound
Like I can't hold my ground
But everybody needs some time
That they can getaway

[Chorus:]
Sometimes I wish I could hide away
Looking for a place to getaway
Getaway from all the heartache and pain that life can bring
I really don't want to sound
Like I can't stand my ground
But everybody needs some time
That they can getaway

Now Everything U Din't Give Someone Else Has Given Me

[Monica: Talking]
See Their I Was Thinking All Along You Were The Perfect Example Of A Man To Me
But When I Look Back, I Mean Really Look Back
U Only Just Missed Half Of The Qualities Of A Man That I Needed U To Be
But Now Thanks For All Your Selfishness That Day Will Never Be
Thank For The Memories
(Thanks,Thanks)

Thanks For The Misery All That U Done To Me
(Thanks,Thanks)
U Know U Didn't Have To Keep All That Away From Me
(Thanks,Thanks)
Delt With A Tragedy There's No More U And Me
(Thanks,Thanks)
Now Everything U Din't Give Someone Else Has Given Me
