Lyrics

[Verse 1]
He's gonna step on you again
He's gonna step on you
He's gonna step on you again
He's gonna step on you
He's gonna step on you again
He's gonna step on you
[Verse 2]
Call the cops
[Verse 3]
Twisting my melon, man
You know he talks, so hit, man
You're twisting my melon, man
[Verse 4]
Hey rainmaker, come away from that man
You know he's gonna take away your promised land
Hey good lady, just while I got you
No you never stop until he's taken the lot
Hey
Hey
[Verse 5]
Gonna stamp out your fire
He can change your desire
Don't you know? He can't make you forget
You're a man
[Verse 6]
Gonna stamp out your life
You can change your desire
Don't you know? He can't make you forget
You're a man, you're a man
[Verse 7]
Jokes to my metal, man
Speaks so little
[Verse 8]
Hey rainmaker, he got golden plans, I tell you
He'll make you a stranger in your own land
Hey good lady, you got God on your side
He got a double tongue, you never think he would lie
[Verse 9]
Oh, you're twisting my melon, man
Oh, you're twisting my melon, man
[Verse 10]
Gonna stamp out your fire
He can change your desire
Don't you know? He can't make you forget
You're a man
[Verse 11]
Gonna stamp out your fire
You can change your desire
Don't you know? He can't make you forget
You're the man, you're the man
[Verse 12]
Gonna step on you, man
Gonna step on you, man
Gonna step on you, man
Gonna step on you, man
[Verse 13]
Gonna step on you, man
Gonna step on you, man
Gonna step on you, man
Gonna step on you, man
[Verse 14]
He's gonna step on you again
He's gonna step on you again
He's gonna step on you again
He's gonna step on you again
He's gonna step on you again
[Verse 15]
Hey rainmaker, come away from that man
You know he's gonna take away your promised land
Hey good lady, you got God on your side
He got a double tongue, you never think he would lie
[Verse 16]
Gonna stamp out your fire
He can change your desire
Don't you know? He can't make you forget
You're a man
[Verse 17]
Gonna stamp out your fire
He can change your desire
Don't you know? He can't make you forget
You're the man, you're the man
[Verse 18]
Twisting my melon, man
You know he talks, so hit, man
You're twisting my melon, man
Hey
Hey
