Oh na na na na, na n-na
Oh na na na na, na n-na

[Verse 1:]
I hear people say
"That young man has lost his way"
"Yeah, he's gone astray"
So many things have changed
Let me help you pronounced my name
Baby, it's B. Slade
I've gotta gift and I'm gonna use it
And if I offer you my talent, please don't abuse it
Never mix business [?] friendship
'Cause after they're finished
You never hear from them again, so...
[Chorus:]
Go ahead and judge me
You're good at what you do
But you ain't knowin' bout the shit that I've been through
Keep it 100, but you don't want the truth
But baby 99 1/2 just won't do
Do...
[Verse 2:]
Can't dwell on the past
Some things just weren't meant to last
'Cause they weren't built to last
I'm drawn to energy
Gender doesn't apply to me
Now is that hard to believe
So call me a faggot
Tell you what it means to me
You wish you could have it
But you're not enough man for me
I got a few habits
Yeah, I'm still smokin' trees
Deal with the facts
Ain't sweeping it under the mat
[Chorus]
Ninety-nine and a half just won't do
(Oh ninety-nine)
Ninety-nine and a half just won't do
(Oh ninety-nine)
Ninety-nine and a half just won't do
(Gotta keep it 100)
