I SPOT A BREAK-UP
I SPOT A MAKE-UP
AND THEN I HIT MY VAPOR
TRYNA GET THIS PAPER
THE WORLD IS TURNING
AND OOH! MY EYES ARE BURNING
I SEE ALL THAT I'M LEARNING
BUT WHAT ABOUT MY EARNINGS?
DECREASE MY WAIST, INCREASE MY WAGE
IS ALL YA SAYIN TO ME
I'M WITH MY GIRLFRIENDS
AND THEY GOT GIRLFRIENDS
YOU LIKE TO TALK ABOUT US
BUT YOU DON'T EVER SPEAK TO US
I'LL TELL YA STRAIGHT UP
WE'RE ALL A LITTLE MESSED UP
I SEE YOU FILLING YOURS UP
SO PUT A LITTLE IN MY CUP
DECREASE MY WAIST, INCREASE MY WAGE
IS ALL YA SAYIN TO ME
EVERYBODY TALKIN BOUT A NEW GENERATION
EVERYBODY TALKIN LIKE THEY THE 1
WHY CAN'T WE ALL GROW TOGETHER
WHY CAN'T WE ALL BE AS ONE
SEPARATIN, LADY HATIN, COUGHIN UP FOR EDUCATION
STIFLIN IMAGINATION, SIDE EYE TO OUR LIBERATION
HEAVY HITTERS SELLIN SEX, HUNGRY FOR WHO'S COMIN NEXT
WE STILL HERE DID YOU FORGET?
