Why Lyrics

Why

So yo, why you trying to play me though? 

Out like a sucker (repeat 4x)



[pharoahe monch]

You’re sneaking around like a sneaker baby,
what’s the beeper for? 

Used to do my chores, now you’re acting like
a whore

Phones at my grip with you off to the store

For now, you
don’t love me no more? 

Hey, by the way who’s curt? 

Left a
message on my machine said you didn’t come to work

You awol from the
job, plus who’s rob? 

The way you’re acting, I think you’ve been
slobbing him

Sometimes I swear I think about robbing ’em

But my
papa told me never to snuff no girls

You give ’em diamond, jewels,
furs, pearls

Rings and shoes and cars and things

From time to time
I wanna diss her

You couldn’t play me if I cheated like amy fisher

And dismiss her from the courtroom in a yugo

You know, something like
joe buttafuco

Well deep inside my heart, the pain still stings

When
I think back and remember I was gonna swing her a ring

For her fing
finger, yes I used to bang her

Like "inga binga bunga" but
I’m out like philip summers



So yo, why you trying to play me
though? 

Out like a sucker (repeat 4x)



[prince poetry]

I reminice back when I was swinging with mish pretty young thing

She
got a kick outta, my jeep and a meal at burger king

And a shotta, ? ? ?
down with my maturity

Getting papers from port authority doing
security

Uh, she just used to climb up in my whipper whip

Just to
stress a nigga quick, young she’s on a ego trip

Quit being "ha
ha" I had to stop the pigeon

Step, find a dove who comprehends
exactly how I’m living

So I met a girl around the way from the
uptown

Set, we used to drown in sweat, uh

She was my dollar til I
lost my 9 to 5

She started dissing listen pretend then shitting on my
pride

She tried to crush my pride so cut off to the next

Uh, not
for the sex, this one used to run through the projects

Gossiping with the
next about the next

Loved to cover her neck, for stress gave her a cat as
a pet (meow)

It’s major in a which, when she wanted to flow

Flowing with this nosey hoochie when I was out doing my shows

Doing a
demo, demo, dembo, dembo

Dembo you can’t front, you used to bust a load
on prince po

And fall fast asleep into the morn

Girlfriend started
flipping, so yo prince had to be gone

I’m just another brother trying
to get around the feds

And keep my mental state, no matter what it
takes



So yo, why you trying to play me though? 

Out like a
sucker (repeat 4x)
