Lyrics

ZanMan:
Oooooh --- Make me wanna screammmmm --

Running your mouth -- Tearin' up the house -- Screamin' and Hollering your the boss --- Tellin' your lies --- Bustin' up rides
Startin' up rumors Tupuc alive --- Buckin' your eyes -- Flickin' your fingers -- Makin' your man wait and linger --
Breakin' the rules -- Damn who get screwed -- As long as you never lose

G'BOW:
U Know I love u girl -- What u do that 4 --- why u messin' around -- U know u hurt me so bad -- Thuggin' in the City -- Never showin' pity -- Bustin' down all my patient -- U know u hurt so bad

ZanMan:
Wanna know why -- Wanna know who -- Everybody gotta be a fool -- Always complainin' -- Never have a good thing to say about nothin' -- Gim'me you money -- Gim'me your car --
Your hand is never too far -- Smokin' your weed -- Screamin' your needs -- Give me a break -- BABY PLEASEEEEE

M.O.
Get your mine right -- Live -- I ain't the one for this -- Playin' game with grown man -- this ain't no child play flick -- But you need to stop them game -- and get your heart refrain
I ain't one of them lame you process for game -- you can't
Shine with the sun -- accept the rain -- I spit flame to your whole aim -- it was just a fling -- The bullshit you poppin' -- you need to be stoppin' -- Why you straight up frontin'

ZanMan:
Saw u at the club to other day -- Brainstormin' the various different ways -- U and your honey crew can get paid --
Back in the booth in the dark I heard u say ---

MOONI-
Einni, Meeni, Myni, Moe -- Caught a baller' by his flo' -- If he spent -- let him go -- Einni, Meeni, Myni. Moe

ZanMan:
DAMED!

Enter the room -- Scan the air -- Zeroing in with a stare'
Lickin' your lips -- Skirt split to the hips -- Big baller' be makin' the trip -- Buying your drink -- Hundred dollars tips -- Then u begin' your flip -- Dazed look -- Murder Money -- She's a THUG - I though your heard - G!

G'BOW:
Know I luv u girl -- What u do the 4 -- Why u messin' around
U know u hurt me so bad -- Thuggin' in the City -- Never showin' pity -- Bustin' down all my patient -- U know u hurt me so bad

M.O.
Huh -- Tired of talkin' -- Next, we'll be seein' who's walkin' --
Accusations I don't play with dame who can't -- honor and trust what I put in my name -- It ain't trick for kids -- I'm on built for women -- so let's cut the chase -- I ain't build for spendin' -- Either we share the worst -- Or the ties are endin'
Lies beginnin' to lead your mine blind and pity -- My time is givin' -- While your fine line is thinnin'

ZanMan:
Talkin' about the gangsta's -- Talkin' about the money -- Always complainin' about u don't have enough of somethin' Battin' your eyes -- Tellin' your lies -- Jumpin' in and out of hundred dollars rides -- Williin' and Dealin' -- Constantly sceemin' -- Never get enough to satisfy your gravings --
Always screamin' and hollerin' about you don't have enough of this, that, that, this, this, that -- DAMNED!

Rip of the G-Folk (Repeat) (scratch)

G'BOW:
U know I love u girl -- What u do that 4 -- Why u messin' around -- U know u hurt me so bad -- Thuggin' in the City -- Never showin' Pity -- Bustin' down all my patient' -- U know u hurt me so bad

Ooooooh (Repeat)

Makes me wanna screammmmmmmm--
