[Verse 1: Illmaculate]

When what you want and what you can't have come in a conflict, that could cause a couple of problems

Well, I guess these ladies and labels

Have something in common

If they have it they own way they be fucking the artist

But, that's why I'm ducking your offers

No contracts or rings, see, I'm trying to hustle my hardest, ma

No distractions, it's killing me, she's feeling me though

She's so attractive plus she knows I'm the total package

Got the pounding stimulation she needs, right?

Plus with escalation what a famous emcee likes

She like to know, squeeze tight in them clothes

Thinking she'll get the green-light to go

It don't seem right... Right, you love the attention

Most the time it don't matter how slutty she's dressin'

All too often we act with ugly intentions

And they're selfishly defended when they come into question


[Hook: Illmaculate]

I see you doin' your thing

I ain't trying to hate on ya

Nah I ain't trying to ruin a thing

A lot of women though

I ain't pouring salt in your game

But if you'd listen close

Then you could probly relate, it goes...

*OnlyOne sample*

Now I ain't dissing women, now now I ain't dissing women

Now I ain't dissing women, that'd be foolish as hell

Now I ain't dissing women, that'd be foolish as hell

I just wish they wouldn't do it themselves


[Verse 2: Dain]

Chicks scoping me, I got a look from left to right ‘cause

Anything might just happen

I happen to be in a position where I got to see

If I'ma go home to the wife or [...]

Seems like some of the girls this age

That approach you would've boned you in anyway

Tried to tell one that I'm gay, but she was like

"Nah nigga, you'll just need me to go straight"

Papa told me play the cards that they deal to ya

Mama told me just remember how it feels to ya

So my consious is playing a role

Even if I'm away on the road I stay at home

‘Cause I don't want nonsense

"He say, she say" – cliché high school type gossip

About me going out with a mistress

Damn, mind your bitnezz, can I get a witness?
