F Woah Gm It's not a movie, this is not a script or proofread Am I'll spit some untruths to dumb fools and groupies Gm Fun to punctuate, pronunciate the funds I make, amounts I take Fmaj7 Put in your face, oh my mistake, you're not a floosy? Then excuse me Gm Before I talk, my style introduced me Am Get your name and phone number like 1-2-3 Gm Y'all know the story, y'all know the commentary Fmaj7 I kick the narrative, this is legendary Gm The good Samaritan, hood thespian Like a polygamist A#m with a twist, Will I marry again? Maybe, I guess F I hold a lady's interest, I just met The love scholar, she the teacher's pet Gm Every other eve we meet and make each other sweat A#m I feel triumphant, no strings, just a fling to have fun with Am I be out in London, Camden, huntin' for the answers Dm Why did God take away the homie? I can't stand it Gm I'm a firm believer that we all meet up in eternity C Just hope the big man show me some courtesy Am Why?
