[Verse 1]
I'm getting a little tired of your broken promises-promises
Looking at your pager, seeing different numbers and numbers
For all my underground DJ's (Make 'em clap to this)
Thank you for your support
[Verse 2]
Every day she walk by, see me on the same block, same crew
Like she never seen rocks, chain, watch, rims blue
Different color boots on, park Yukon
Few predicates, ex con, rip arms
Betting chips, puff medicine
Play my gangsta beats
Tunnel bangers Flex and Clue tapes bang in the streets
I'm just a fly thuggish baller shortie anxious to meet
Till I die keep wanting the head, mink to the feet
But shortie jailbait, might get me five to life
Maybe in time you could be NAS's wife
Play school, study law
I'ma pay your tuition
Come on campus, buy you books, do your babysitting
My unusual style may confuse you a while
When you get older I'ma bless you with a child
See now you was unaware that this thug had affection
Let me be your angel
And I'll be your protection
[Verse 3]
You say that you will and then you won't
Sometimes you do, sometimes you don't
Sometimes it's yes, other times it's no
But I can't take it no more
Take your wrong and make it right
Don't say you can't make up your mind
It's is we is, or is we ain't
'Cause I can't take it no more
[Verse 4]
(Make 'em clap to this)
(Make 'em clap to this)
(Make 'em clap, make 'em clap, make 'em clap to this)
(Make 'em clap to this)
[Verse 5]
Maybe, baby you keep putting things before me
But I was there for you when you had nothing
So baby, baby basically
Examine you examine me
Now or never give, me all or nothing
[Verse 6]
You say that you will and then you won't
Sometimes you do, sometimes you don't
Sometimes it's yes, other times it's no
But I can't take it no more
Take your wrong and make it right
Don't say you can't make up your mind
It's is we is, or is we ain't
'Cause I can't take it no more
[Verse 7]
(Make 'em clap to this)
(Make 'em clap to this)
(Make 'em clap, make 'em clap, make 'em clap to this)
(Make 'em clap to this)
[Verse 8]
Baby, baby you keep telling me you're changing
You promised you will be a better man
But no, soon as you see your peeps
There you go switching out on me
And we're back at square one again
[Verse 9]
Y'all three can't get with me
Y'all just a child, child
Maybe I can let you meet little Sammie and Bow Wow
Please girls try to understand me now, now
Like my little sisters, I'ma hold you down, down
Got the whole world in your hands
Three little women got these young boys trying to be they man
Do your thing shortie, but if they disrespectful
Get on you cell phone, call big brother Esco
Now let's go
[Verse 10]
'Cause all this back and forth
In and out
Ups and downs
Is beginning to wear me out
See you gotta tell me now, tell me now
Don't wait till then
It's either me or your friends
Yeah, yeah, yeah
[Verse 11]
Remix, Track master, remix

(Make 'em clap, make 'em clap, make 'em clap to this)
(Make 'em clap to this)
[Verse 12]
You say that you will and then you won't
Sometimes you do, sometimes you don't
Sometimes it's yes, other times it's no
But I can't take it no more
Take your wrong and make it right
Don't say you can't make up your mind
It's is we is, or is we ain't
'Cause I can't take it no more
[Verse 13]
You say that you will and then you won't
Sometimes you do, sometimes you don't
Sometimes it's yes, other times its no
But I can't take it no more
Take the wrong and make it right
Don't say you can't make up your mind
It's is we is, or is we ain't
'Cause I can't take it no more
