Lyrics
[Verse 1]
Five foot seven with light green eyes
Body built like a woman over twenty-five
Plus she push the whip that the average women couldn't get
Less she worked about two nine to five's
Girly played the game just a little too mature
She damn near had everything I was lookin' for
If things seemed shady when I asked my lady to meet me at the club
She had trouble at the door that's when I found out that
[Verse 2]
Oh, she was only seventeen years old
And I couldn't see her no more
Oh, I ain't tryna see myself locked up
For knockin' up some young Joan
Oh, how could I explain this situation
To my family and all of my boys?
Oh, I'm sorry shorty, but you've got to get gone, yeah
[Verse 3]
I tried to cut her off, but she wasn't havin' it
She kept tellin' me her age didn't mean ****
And that's when she started to cry
Baby, I need you in my life
And without you I just couldn't handle it
So what's a brother to do?
'Cause, either way I lose
So, I could just say my piece
Or piss off her peeps
And talk it out with the boys in blue
'Cause when it comes down to it
[Verse 4]
Oh, she was just seventeen years old
And I was dead wrong from the door
Oh, I ain't tryna see myself locked up
For knockin' up some young Joan
Oh, how could I explain this situation
To my family and all of my boys?
Oh, sorry shorty, but you got to get gone, yeah
[Verse 5]
Welcome to your voice messaging service
To enter your mailbox, press star
First message
[Verse 6]
Yo, how you doin'? Call me when you get this
Yo, what's goin' on? I called you earlier
I guess you ain't get my message
But when you get this, hit me back, aight? Bye
[Verse 7]
Hey, what got some bitch over there or somethin'?
Can't pick up your phone, I been callin' you and
Trynna speak to you and you still don't answer the phone
[Verse 8]
See, you trynna play somebody
As though I won't have to bring my **** over there to kick ya ass
Do you think somebody playin' with ya ass
You don't, you don't return my calls
This is it
