Lyrics

[Verse 1]

Here's a little story I'd like to tell

About a situation you guys and girls know very well

Everything is fine and dandy and you love it

'Til dope make you treat another person like a puppet

[Verse 2]

Now I talked to this girl for about two weeks

And I've been many places and seen many freaks

But this girl was just fly

Het body good lookin'

I was a fish just flappin' and she was like khook'n

I got to know her by spending some time

Everything was goin' good couldn't nothing go better

Anything she wants to do, Hi-C would just let her

Wasn't like them other brothers trying to screw her up

I would rush her to the mall and straight cold do her up

Have a treat, and when she by my side

I want the girl look good when she rollin' in my ride

But three weeks later I notices a change

Somethin' wasn't right she was acting kinda strange

Took some money out my stash and stuffed in her purse

You think things is getting bad, man, it's gonna get worse

Well, looks like I got myself a few problems

But me, being Hi-C, you know I'm gonna solve them

She ran out the house and drove down the street

Stopped to buy some crack from my homeboy Pete

I could't believe what I was told

He gave the freak double up for thick piece of gold

So I creeped up on on the girl, and said, Yeah, I caught ya

And by the way, where's the link I bought ya?

Now this girl must've lost her mind

Scrapping up dough in some things of mine

I wanted to beat her

Better yet stomp her

Break out the 12 gauge and full buck shot, pump her

But I said, Nah, forget it, I'm a chill

This girl need help, she's mentally ill

She started to trip and started spending my grip

So I just had to rip the pipe out' her lips

She cried, Crawf, please gimme some money

I promise I'll stop, please, come on Crawf money

I felt sorry for the girl 'cause she's being misused

It was the crack and the devil, lyin' to abuse

This relationship just ain't gonna last

Girl, you gonna have to get rid of your past

'Cause yeah, you're on my dick dick ding a ling

Tryin' tie my arms and legs with a string

My money? mm hmm, I know you love it

But let me tell you one thing I'm not

I'm not you (Puppet)

[Verse 3]

So listen up to what we say because

(Smoke primos 'cause she thought it tastes good)

(Puppet)

(Yo, girl get off my)

(Man, I wouldn't touch that)

(Why?)

(And when you wrinkle, I can't be your lover)

[Verse 4]

Hopped out the bed 'bout three o'clock

Stumbled to the door when I hear the knock

I thought, Man, now who the heck cold this be?

When I got tot the door she said, Crawf, it's me

I thought we supposed to go out this week

I said, Not tonight girl, I''m bout to go back to sleep

But by being a big booty, heckuva freak

Before I closed the door, she blocked the way with her feet

She pushed her way in, didn't use much force

She said, I know we goin' out, I said, Yeah, of course

I'm starin' at this girl wonderin' if she alright

'Cause where the heck we supposed to go

At this time of the night

But the only thing that was on my mind

Was jackin' this girl for her big behind

She thought that I forgot that she was the one that was smokin' rocks

I looked at the girl and I said, Babe, you know what Steve said?

Your butt ain't nothin' but a base head

She disagreed, she said, Stop lying

Her feelings were hurt, so she broke out cryin'

I said, Baby you gotta help yourself

Don't expect help from anyone else

This relationship just ain't gonna last

Girl you gonna have to get rid of your past

'Cause yeah, you're on my dick dick ding a ling

Tryin' tie my arms and legs with a string

My money? mm hmm, I know you love it

But let me tell you one thing I'm not

I'm not you (Puppet)

[Verse 5]

Three days later

(Oh, you gotta give me something now)

(Puppet)

(It's all because of you)

(I woke up fussin')

(Thinkin' to myself who knows where those lips have been)

[Verse 6]

The girl was dumb

She was straight out sprung

The dope was rope, then her soul was hung

Well one day, I went to see my DJ

The grand, incredible, wizard Tony A

Got to his house, then I knocked on the door

The fool didn't answer, so I banged once more

I wondered, where in the heck he was at

So I jumped off the porch, then I fell to the back

He was there, 'cause I heard the system thumpin'

Went up to the window, jack's move was bumpin'

I grabbed a crate just to peek through the window

The tick I kicked it with was gettin' played like a Nintendo

Jumped in the window and I said, What's up?

Tony had her hyped up, he was driving her nuts

She see my face and she started to scream

I said, Shut up girl, you know the routine

Popped the tape in the deck and we rocked back and forth

From the east to the west, the south and the north

I got tired, and said, Man, I quit

Tony A said, Crawf, look at this chick

She grabbed a rock, and I started to flip

Baby wanted to smoke, man this girl was a trip

She said, Yo, check this out, man

My dope smokes in a pipe, and it melts in my hands

Girl, you just a fool, your life is going too fast

I know this relationship just ain't gonna last

'Cause yeah, you're on my dick dick ding a ling

Tryin' tie my arms and legs with a string

My money? mm hmm, I know you love it

But let me tell you one thing I'm not

I'm not you (Puppet)

[Verse 7]

Well I bought her a chain

Reebok boots and a skirt

And she (Clocked it)

Then she went in my pants

And she took my keys

And stole my bucket

[Verse 8]

Yo, the little story that I just told

About a girl who's living life with her head that's swole

Dope ain't me, Hi-C can't cut it

Girl I know you love it

But I'm not your (Puppet)
