First things first rest in peace Uncle Phil

For real

You the only father that I ever knew

I get my - pregnant, I'ma be a better you

Prophecies that I made way back in the Ville

Fulfilled

Listen, even back when we was broke, my team ill

Martin Luther King would've been on Dreamville, talk to a -

One time for my L.A. sisters

One time for my L.A. -

Lame - can't tell the difference

One time for a - who know

Don't save her, she don't wanna be saved

Don't save her, she don't wanna be saved

Don't save her, she don't wanna be saved

Don't save her, she don't wanna be saved

No role models, and I'm here right now

No role models to speak of

Searchin' through my memory, my memory, I couldn't find one

Last night, I was gettin' my feet rubbed by the baddest -

Not Trina, but I swear to God, this - will make you call your girl up

And tell her, "Hey, what's good?

Sorry, I'm never comin' home, I'ma stay for good"

Then hang the phone up and proceed to lay the wood

I came fast like 911 in white neighborhoods

Ain't got no shame 'bout it

She think I'm spoiled, and I'm rich 'cause I can have any -

I got defensive and said, "Nah, I was the same without it"

But then I thought back, back to a better me

Before I was a B-list celebrity

'Fore I started callin' - so heavily

Back when you could get a platinum plaque without no melody

You wasn't sweatin' me

One time for my L.A. sisters

One time for my L.A. -

Lame - can't tell the difference

One time for a - who know

Don't save her, she don't wanna be saved

Don't save her, she don't wanna be saved

Don't save her, she don't wanna be saved

Don't save her, she don't wanna be saved

I want a real love, dark-skinned Aunt Viv love

That Jada and that Will love

That leave a toothbrush at your crib love

And you ain't gotta wonder whether that's your kid love

I don't want no - from reality shows

Out-of-touch-with-reality -

Out in Hollywood bringin' back five or six -

'Em then we kick 'em to the do', - you know how it go

She deserved that, she a bird, it's a bird trap

You think if I didn't rap, she would flirt back?

Takin' off her skirt, let her wear my shirt, 'fore she leave

"I'ma need my shirt back" (-, you know how it go)

One time for my L.A. sisters

One time for my L.A. -

Lame - can't tell the difference

One time for a - who know

Don't save her, she don't wanna be saved

Don't save her, she don't wanna be saved

Don't save her, she don't wanna be saved

Don't save her, she don't wanna be saved

There's an old saying in Tennessee

I know it's in Texas, probably in Tennessee

That says, "Fool me once, shame on, shame on you

Fool me-, can't get fooled again"

Fool me one time, shame on you (ayy)

Fool me twice, can't put the blame on you (ayy)

Fool me three times, - the peace sign

Load the chopper, let it rain on you (bop, bop, bop)

Fool me one time, shame on you (ayy)

Fool me twice, can't put the blame on you (ayy)

Fool me three times, - the peace sign

Load the chopper, let it rain on you (bop, bop, bop)

My only regret was too young for Lisa Bonet

My only regret was too young for Nia Long

Now all I'm left with is - from reality shows

Hand her a script, the - prolly couldn't read along

My only regret was too young for Sade Adu

My only regret, could never take Aaliyah home

Now all I'm left with is - up in Greystone

With the stale face 'cause they know it's they song

She shallow but the - deep (she shallow, she shallow)

She shallow but the - deep (she shallow), yeah, ayy (she shallow)

She shallow but the - deep (she shallow, she shallow)

She shallow but the - deep (she shallow, she shallow)

Don't save her, she don't wanna be saved

Don't save her, she don't wanna be saved

Don't save her, she don't wanna be saved

Don't save her, she don't wanna be saved

Don't save her, she don't wanna be saved

Don't save her, she don't wanna be saved

Don't save her, she don't wanna be saved

Don't save her, she don't wanna be saved
