In “Sweat It Out,” Omen talks about a girl he met while he was on tour, presumably as an opening act for Cole. He became infatuated, and he felt in love. She claims that she has a boyfriend, but she’s his for the weekend.
[Verse 1: Omen]
Of course I remember that day, I mean what are the chances
On a late night up in Atlanta
We'd fall in love from a couple of glances
And nobody in that god damn waffle house had a clue about what just happened
I made fun of your hat, you made fun of my shirt
We played tic-tac-toe on a napkin
Kinda crazy, but you were so comfortable
I told you what I do, how I'm chasing my dreams
I guess I'm on a run for you
Never told you that, you woulda though it was a pick up line
But you the only line that I pick up for
She said "I got bad news, I got a man and I know you get chicks on tour"
Yeah, I know these rappers all the same, these rappers all the same
But you don't love him and I don't love them, so girl let's spark the flame
I'm only in town for a couple more days
I need to love you a couple more ways
Could this be so wrong? We mean no harm, your worth any trouble I'll face
[Hook: Ari Lennox]
Gin is what I'm drinking
Just grab my body upon the bathroom sink, and
Just break my body into a million pieces
Baby, baby, sweat me out
Know just what you're thinking
I've got a man, but it's yours just for the weekend
So sugar honey I like all that your'e doing
Baby, baby, sweat me out
[Verse 2: Omen]
I text you on Monday, no reply
Text you on Tuesday, no reply
Now I'm thinking damn, why'd I fall for a girl
Knowing that she got a man, such a foolish guy
Ay, love game is tough, I need a cheat code
Emptied out my gun, I gotta reload
Never went to Church and never paid my tithes
I guess God had to repo' my ego
A year later sitting back stage, with Henessey and champagne
I seen a band member coming through the door with this bad lil' broad
And he told me they was classmates
It was you, god damnit it was you
And I never ever felt that feeling in my life
You're too good to be true
Then you tell me you lost your phone on the very same day that we met
You was looking for me all this time
I was looking for you all this time
Good god you hard to find
I'm in town for a couple more days
I need to love you a couple more ways
Could this be so wrong? We mean no harm, your worth any trouble I face
[Hook: Ari Lennox]
Gin is what I'm drinking
Just grab my body up on the bathroom sink, and
Just break my body into a million pieces
Baby, baby, sweat me out
Know just what you're thinking
I've got a man, but it's just yours for the weekend
So sugar honey I like all that your'e doing
Baby, baby, sweat me out
Sweat me out
[Outro: Ari Lennox]
Boy what you talking 'bout?
