lyrics

VERSE ONE / I met this girl and I made her very upset, She wasn't feeling me because I aint a Roughneck, I stopped to think and yo it sounded very suspect, She couldn't tell that Funky had some kind of prospect? I should have left her in the cold, straight break out, and take myself back to my crib and eat a take out, now she looking in my boat like it's a steak out, the type of sexy girl who you wanna make out with, saying 'she/I don't want another Boyfriend', yo she treating me like I'm a can of poison, I should be kicking it and hanging with my boys man, she asked me 'what you do for work?', 'I'm self employed maam', are you a hustler 'No I'm a composer, I broke the law before but now them days are over and plus the fact that I have grown a little older'' so you a Roughneck?', 'Come on girl I told ya, don't you listen? I'm a musician, I make a beat, I write a rhyme and that's my mission, I got a studio in very good condition and no my vocal booth is not inside my kitchen'' so you a rap star? 'I'm on my way there', so do you got your own pad?' So I say 'yeah, I got this Penthouse Suite up in Mayfair, but yo forget about it, I don't hardly stay there', lying to this woman to impress her she's thinking all I want is to undress her and she aint too far from wrong see I confess ha? Tell me how I get myself into this mess ha? / VERSE TWO / I asked her for her number it was over, she looked me up and down like I had odour, her body language now is getting colder, it looks like I won't get the chance to hold her, she said 'I gotta go, you know my steelo' and tried to spin away like a Torpedo, I slowed her down like Bobby Valentino and said 'I love your jeans, is that Moschino?', That is when she hit me with the madness and said 'what makes you think that you can have this, you think I got the time to give you chances? To try and take me home and do me on your mattress?' I asked myself just why am I pursuing her? When some other dude has obviously ruined her, now I'm looking at my watch like I'm a jeweller, thinking to myself I should have played it cooler, I realized I made a big mistake ha? So I searched inside my pocket for some paper, she asked me 'what you doing?' I said 'wait ma', found my pen then I scribbled down later…
