GangStarr - Ex Girl to The Next Girl lyrics
You know I used to be a player, fly girl layer and a heartbreaker, Lovemaker, backbreaker but then I made a Mistake yes I fell in love with this ill chick Sweatin` me for money, my name and the dilsnick My homeboys told me to drop her for it would be to my benefit She used to say I`d better quit hanging with those derelects Romancing is my thing but I can`t swing with no scheming hoes Wherever my beema goes you know that I`m driving Surviving in the 90`s is a must so I trust That everyone listen up as my vocals give thrust I bust my rhymes first never chasing a skirt Do much work while other s**as need more time to rehearse Now back to the ex-girls, ex-lovers, ex-friends It made me mad to find that she was only after my ends She phones me and goes on about her new life now I wish she knew right now I think she`s busted let`s discuss it When I was with her no trust, just fights Just the he-say-she-say and the neighborhood highlights Bow I got my new girl or as I say my baby doll But I`m still gettin` crazy calls, my ex-girl`s got balls Don`t want to play the field 'cause I get lovin` at home base Don`t gimme no long face just exit with a grace You and I are the past, c`est la vie, much respect girl But now you`re my ex-girl 'cause I`m on with the next girl [Chorus] She had much loot liked to buy me fresh-dipped gear Liked to have me near 'cause of my svoir faire The time we shared was brief 'cause I needed relief From her high-cla**ed antics and all her conceit Now she`s crying wolf and I like don`t want to hear that I told her the bear facts when things started out She wines and she pouts about how I did her bad Yo but she`d tried to buy me Even tempt me with the hiney I fell for a sec 'cause the clothes were real fly I could almost feel I Would give into her whims Her thoughts were erratic, sporadic, crazy in nature I told her hey look I can no longer date ya Tried to pimp with bank and fell short, your ship sank Many thanks for the time and the watch and the link You and I are the past, c`est la vie, nuff respect girl But now you`re my ex-girl 'cause I`m straight with the next girl [Chorus] You saw my mom in the supermarket and gave her your number You asked how`s my sister then asked how`s my brother Didn`t ask about my father 'cause you know he ain`t like ya Every time I left for your crib yo he`d really get hyper The advice he used to give me makes much sense now I can`t believe I used to let you break my confidence down You used to ask me why the hell did I want to live in Brooklyn? You messed up my flow although you were good-lookin` Yes darlin` was fly and this was the problem 'cause back in the day she had me scheming and robbin` To get her things to wear so when she went to the club All eyes were on her and me I just bugged Caught in between felling proud and feeling more like a s**er Had to go undercover, get away, find another Been in Brooklyn 9 years and been around the world too I`ve seen so many fly girls and I knew just what to do I went from ex-girl to next took my time with each one And you know they still love me so stop jellin` me hon went home to see mom and I saw you at the bus stop Must I stop? nah I think not You and I are the past c`est la vie, much respect girl But now you`re my ex-girl & I`m out with the next girl Out... [Chorus]
