[Intro]
Thought I told you
Don’t call here no more
I ain’t gonna tell you
But one more time
Don’t you call, no...

I don’t care what your father say
I don’t care what your mother say
I don’t care what your sister say
I don’t care what them judges say

You can’t take my babies away
But you ain’t got no choice
Babies away, no, no, baby
Listen, huh

[Verse 1]
Five years, two kids, and a dog
Boy, I cooked for you even cleaned your dirty drawers
Boy, I trusted you
But then I busted you

But it wasn’t me baby, see
Mercedes Benz, famous friends, and a maid
I was talkin’ ‘bout your heavy loan
While I busted my ass out on the road for you
That incident you think you seen
Baby girl, baby girl, wasn’t really me (Huh, who was it, who was it)
