Lyrics

Oooh oo-ohhh, oo-ohhh Oooh oo-ohhh, oo-ohhh Oooh oo-ohhh, oo-ohhh Oooh oo-ohhh, oo-ohhh It ain't all good, and that's the truth Thangs ain't goin' like you think they should, it's all on you It ain't all good, and that's the truth Thangs ain't goin' like you think they should, it's all on you I don't care about what you think you see The things you want to know when you look at me God knows I done been through and paid my dues Can't change how you feel, 'cause it's all on you, woah, oh, yeah I wish that, you could be a little bit more upfront Weigh the situation how you want (right) The loving that you claim is just a four letter word The third letter's inviting so visualize the verb You curve thought waves when you're handling the candelabra So you sitting on the baby grand Transmitting like you're made of man But you paint a funny face like a chick When I see you I'ma tell you quick that uhh It ain't all good, and that's the truth Thangs ain't goin' like you think they should, it's all on you It ain't all good, and that's the truth I can't believe we built this large pizza pie together No pepperonis Yeah you wanted extra cheese, sometimes I gave you extras How we divided slices like the Red Sea theory I was Moses hopelessly scorned by your thorn zapora Tried to bring that fairy-tale life, you wanted horror But my microscope couldn't see or cope with that I had to bolt from that, and left you dead in the sea It's better for me, I'm satisfied with repping for D We were certified hot, then dropped to lukewarm Now we back up in the spot, claiming never been gone Niggas who cut us off, wanna reattach us now (Them girls who brushed us off, say they want some numbers to dial) Yeah I give that ass a number, and some lumber to pile Now catch a curve from my kick (or show me loving by brick) So stick to the same plan, don't come shaking my hand Like we peeps, it ain't beef but be sure to understand Between us, it ain't all It ain't all good, and that's the truth Thangs ain't goin' like you think they should, it's all on you It ain't all good, and that's the truth Thangs ain't goin' like you think they should, it's all on you You see them kids be scheming on what we done copped (Always out there scheming) They steady fiending for the moment they can get us off the block (Why they always fiending?) Your people might have your back, but you need to watch your front Indeed, ain't nothing guaranteed (That's the truth, things ain't goin' like you think they should) A lot say they wanna walk in my size 10's Alright then, here's a pair Lace 'em up tight then you might feel what was dealt to me You see ain't no young boys up in here; keep a clear head Trying to keep my pockets on stuffed, like deer heads Upon the wall, so all the gall we get from y'all don't phase So mind your biz and walk away 'Cause I'm never gonna let you up inside my maze I don't care about what you think you see The things you want to know when you look at me God knows I done been through and paid my dues Can't change how you feel, 'cause it's all on you, woah, oh It ain't all good, and that's the truth Thangs ain't goin' like you think they should, it's all on you It ain't all good, and that's the truth Thangs ain't goin' like you think they should, it's all on you
