Sly Stone - Mackstress lyrics

Everybody wanna play, but everybody's not a playa In my ear with that sh**, excuse me and say a The same old sh** but you try to come new with it Talkin' bout what my man gotta do with it He got a Tec-9 and you don't wanna fool with it He'll k** your whole crew with it And if I pull your whole card you get crowbarred That's a bumper, jack, so take your number back Cause I ain't gonna call you, all you wanna do is (?) like (?), lolly-a** n***a Wish you had a girl that was trickin' Notice I say you wish, you took the boys where they was strippin' n***as swear they number 1 with a bullet Hate to pull your coat-tail, but oh well A woman's gotta do what a woman's gotta do Be a mackstress, don't let these motherf**ers mack you [Hook] (A woman gotta do what a woman gotta do) See what they do is dress you up in all this crazy sh** Make other womens jealous, wishin' they could have it Buy you diamonds, got you flyin' to all these places Payin' your rent, even your money's spent See—sh** is good and after a while you start lovin' him (?) place to place (?) to Colorado See what you don't know is what's in your bag He done crossed you, now you're washed-up and got a Ki' of c**aine and not a ounce of (gain?) These n***as mackin' again, damn It's down 8 to 2 and we're losin' Wish he had more games out there choosin' More—hell of a hell of a, stop believin' what they're tellin' ya Now you're stuck and I cannot help ya A woman's gotta do what a woman's gotta do Be a mackstress, don't let these motherf**ers mack you [Hook] Sittin' in the county, waitin' for your sentence Hopin', prayin', and wishin' they won't lynch ya Every hour on the hour, you've got a visitor It's Detective Mitchell All he wants is your cooperation "Now tell us everything you told us down at the station Who sent you out here and who's the big man? And what we'll do is we'll just slap you on your hand." Blam, off to another division They wanna protect you while they hang your n***a You knew the job was dirty when you took it, you fool Got used as a mule, wish you had your mack tools Still up to no good, don't know who to trust Wish you coulda kept it hush-hush A woman's gotta do what a woman's gotta do Be a mackstress, don't let these motherf**ers mack you [Hook]
