A guy who has a girlfriend, has a homegirl who he normally helps with her relationship troubles. He’s so good at it she starts to like him. He notices, pursues her but he HAS a girlfriend so he “cant have his cake and eat it too”. Check it out and see what hap...
[Intro (YouTube version)]
Sunny city San Diego, the 1-9
See that girl?
That's Arianna, a nigga best friend
For the past 21 years, our parents even grew up together
Shit, I bet you can't tell by the way she's storming of my porch like I'm the man who went and fucking lied
[Verse 1]
She said: can't have your cake and eat it too
Then I replied: hollup what?
If you claim you love me why you fucking on both of us?
It started cool, I had a girl and I was like her brother
And she called me for advice when her relationship was trouble
So then one day I asked her: why you fucking with this nigga?
He talk 'bout your physique and he just bring it down your spirit
And she replied: I love him, so cliché and typically
We been friends before you and me
Grew up on the same block
He took my virginity
And I replied: I know
Exhale strategically, and told her
I said: you my home girl, but you gotta understand
Some niggas need to stay your friend and they ain't meant to be your man
She said: I know you're looking out, but you don't understand
And by the time we finished talking, her hand was on my hand
And the crazy part about it, is you wasn't even mad
We just both pare backed our hands
She looked at me and laughed
[Chorus]
Can't have your cake and eat it too nigga
She said: you got a girl, can't have your cake and eat it too nigga
She said: you got a girl, can't have your cake and eat it too nigga
Yeah, I know, can't have your cake and eat it too nigga
She said: you got a girl, can't have your cake and eat it too
Yeah, I know, can't have your cake and eat it too
[Verse 2]
She spend the next day thinking, just scratching the surface
What if Robb was my nigga?
Shit, that's what I deserve, shit
That's what I should claim, shit
And I'm out with my girl while I'm thinking the same shit
Damn
And then about a month later, a nigga hit a party
And I'm squeezing through the crowd, get bumped, and I spill my Bacardi
Mind this badass bitch, I cleaned her off as I said sorry
And I realize it's my homegirl... Damn
And as she looked at me and smiled
Hugged me tighter than the dress she had on
Yup yup, so you know it's been a while
I said: let's grab a drink, trying hard not to flirt
And my girl was supposed to be there, coincidentally she had work
Now a nigga faded, and she looking like dessert
And we looking at each other as my drink just hit the dirt
And my lips is on her lips and my hand went up her shirt
And she letting down her garb while she letting down her skirt
[Chorus]
Can't have your cake and eat it too nigga
I know, can't have your cake and eat it too nigga
She said: you got a girl, can't have your cake and eat it too nigga
I know, can't have your cake and eat it too
[Verse 3]
But before I put it on her, she stopped and said: I can't do this
I love you like a brother, as I proceeded to touch her
With no intentions to love her
You my homegirl
But we bone girl
I'm pulling on your hair and your toes, girl
But after we fuck, things is getting different
Went from giving you advice to having two bitches that's bitching
And a slice which's in a friendship
The whole thing just pivot
Visions of us kicking it is now far from vivid
Because I listened to the wrong head, shit I'm a nigga
It's common sense to follow the head that's bigger
She said: you my homeboy, and you gotta understand
Some niggas need to stay your friend and they ain't meant to be your man
But losing my fucking homie just wasn't part of the plan
One call to my girl and now I'm a single man
All because... I had my cake and ate it too
