Take Heed

Same thing

Same thing

Same thing

Same thing

Same thing

I went to the bar the other night (same thing)

Me and my wife just got into it

Man, it seems like lately we ain't been seeing eye to eye (we ain't been seeing eye to eye)

But as I'm walking in the bar, I see an old man sitting there (same thing)

Decided to go sit by him, wasn't that many people there that night (same thing)

I walked up to him, tapped him on the shoulder

Asked him, "Could I sit down?"

Looked at me, he said, "Young buck, sit down

What's going on with you?" (What's going on?)

I said, "Man, that woman, man"

He looked at me and said

"I seen that devil riding your back (same thing)

When you walked in, the room (said I seen it)

But before you say anything, young buck

This what I want you to do"

He said the same thang you did to get her (the same thing)

You got to do the same thang to keep her

Hmm-mm

Listen

He said you gotta leave these streets alone

And when you find you a woman (same thing)

That can make a house a home (same thing)

That's what he told me (same thing)

He looked at me and said

"Young buck, I been married 40 some years (40 some years)

And let me tell you something about that woman

When she complains, it's just her way of letting you know you ain't listening

If she ain't complaining, you should be worried" (you should be worried)

"I'm gonna tell you something about that woman also

If she love you she gonna make sure

You got clothes on your back and food on your table

She gonna always keep you in mind

But sometimes as men we let our pride get in the way

But before you do anything (before you do anything)

This what I need you to do"

He said the same thang you did to get her

You got to do the same thang to keep her

Hmm-mm (listen to me now)

Listen

He said you gotta leave these streets alone (same thing)

And when you find you a woman (same thing)

That can make a house a home (same thing, same thing)

He looked at me and said

"I don't even want to hear it (I don't even want to hear it)

And I ain't even the type of brother to take nobody side

But I can look at you and tell you ain't been

Doing what you supposed to do

I just don't know man"

"Seems like nowadays man these new generation

Y'all want a woman to take care of y'all

But I'm from the old school brother

I was brought up to take care of a woman

'Cause when you take care of that woman

That woman gonna always take care of you

But I ain't gonna hold you long, young brother

But take a minute listen to me"

"Every Saturday whiskey got you thinking

Do she love you or love you not

Not being consistent with that woman

Will always put you in a bad spot

As men, we gotta remember

That we set the tone

But you will never leave that woman

For something better than what you got at home"

If you did the things that you did in the beginning

It will never end

You got to learn how to be her partner, her lover

And her friend

He said, "The things he respect, it ain't his money

Cars or his clothes

It's how well he treat that woman

That he chose"

If she ever held you down, stuck around

When you wasn't on your feet

Don't let these women laugh at her no-no

In these streets

If you treat her good

She gon' always treat you better

'Cause one man's trash

Is another man's treasure (is another man's treasure)

He said the same thang you did to get her

You got to do the same thang to keep her (gotta do the same thang, oh, brother)

Hmm-mm (listen to me now)

Listen

He said you gotta leave these streets alone (gotta leave these streets)

And when you find you a woman (same thang)

That can make a house a home (same thang, same thang)

He told the bartender

"Let me go on and close my tab 'cause I'm through talking"

He looked at me and said

"It seems like you're paying attention

So what I want you to do is

Go on finish your drink

Get your keys and go home to that woman

'Cause she waiting on you"

That's exactly what I did

Went straight home

Walked in the door

I just hugged my wife

She's like what's wrong with you

I said, "Baby, the same thang I did to get you

I'm a have to do the same thang to keep you"

He said the same thang you did to get her

You got to do the same thang to keep her (gotta do the same thang, oh, brother)

Hmm-mm (listen to me now)

Listen

He said you gotta leave these streets alone (same thing)

And when you find you a woman (same thing)

That can make a house a home (same thing, same thing)

He said you a grown man (same thing)

I can't tell you what to do (same thing)

But if you got a good woman at home like me (same thing)

I'll take heed if I were you (same thing)

Oh, Lord (same thing)

Same thang (same thang)

That you did (same thang), that you did (same thang)
