[Verse 1: Tobe Nwigwe]
It's been three weeks since you've looking for your friend
The one you let hit it and never called you again
Remember when he told you he was 'bout the Benjamins?
You act like you ain't hear him then give him a little trim
To begin, how you think you're really gon' pretend
Like you wasn't down and you called him again?
Plus, when you give it up so easy, you ain't even foolin' him
If you did it, then, then you'd probably do it again
Talking out your neck, sayin' you're a Christian
A Muslim, sleeping with the Jinn
Now that was the sin that did Jezebel in
Who you gon' tell when the repercussions spin?
Showing off your— (Ooh) 'cause you're thinking it's a trend
Girlfriend, let me break it down for you again
You know I only say it 'cause I'm truly genuine
Don't be a hard rock when you really are a gem
Baby girl, respect is just a minimum (Minimum)
And you still defending 'em now, Lauryn is only human
Don't think I haven't been through the same predicament
Let it sit inside your head like a million women in Philly, Penn
It's silly when girls sell their souls because it's in
Look at where you be in, hair weaves like Europeans
Fake nails done by Koreans
[Refrain: Tobe Nwigwe]
Come again (Yeah-yeah)
Come again (Yeah-yeah)
Come again (Yeah-yeah)
Come again (Yeah-yeah)
[Chorus: Tobe Nwigwe]
Guys, you know you better watch out
Some girls, some girls are only about
That thing, that thing, that thing
That thing, that thing (Yeah), that thing
[Verse 2: Tobe Nwigwe]
The second verse is dedicated to the men
More concerned with his rims and his Timbs than his women
Him and his men come in the club like hooligans
Don't care who they offend, poppin' yang (Like you got yen)
Let's not pretend, they wanna pack pistols by their waist men
Cristal by the case men, still in their mother's basement
The pretty face men claimin' that they did a bid men
Need to take care of their three or four kids
And they face a court case when the child support's late
Money-taking and heartbreaking, wonder why women hate men
The sneaky, silent men, the punk, domestic violence men
They're quick to shoot the semen, stop acting like boys and be men
How you gonna win when you ain't right within? (Yeah)
How you gonna win when you ain't right within? (Yeah-yeah)
How you gonna win when you ain't right within? (Uh, hm-mm, come again)
[Refrain: Tobe Nwigwe]
Come again (Yeah-yeah)
Come again (Yeah-yeah)
Come again (Yeah-yeah)
Come again
[Bridge: Tobe Nwigwe]
Watch out, watch out
Look out, look out
Watch out, watch out)
Watch out, watch out (Yeah)
Look out, look out (Yeah)
Watch out, watch out
Look out, look out, ooh-oh
[Chorus: Tobe Nwigwe]
Girls, you know you better watch out
Some guys, some guys are only about
That thing, that thing, that thing
That thing, that thing, that thing
Guys, you know you better watch out
Some girls, some girls are only about
That thing, that thing, that thing
That thing, that thing, that thing
[Bridge 2: Tobe Nwigwe]
That thing, that thing, that thing, that thing (Yeah)
That thing, that thing, that thing, that thing
That thing, that thing, that thing
That thing, that thing, that thing
[Chorus: Lauryn Hill & Tobe Nwigwe]
Girls, you know you better watch out
Some guys, some guys are only about
That thing, that thing, that thing, yeah
That thing, that thing, that thing
Ooh, guys, you know you better watch out (Oh, God)
Some girls, some girls are only about
That thing, that thing, that thing
That thing, that thing, that thing
