Temptations

Yo Moe B, man, drop that shit.
You know what time it is.

I know what it's time to get.
grab her up by the hand, you know what I'm saying?
and uh, throw up that finger.

Hey, yo, yo throw your fingers up.
Thug style baby, thug style you know?

Tell me baby are you lonely?
Don't wanna rush you, I can help you if you only
let me touch you. If I'm wrong love tell me.
'Cause I get caught up and the life I live is hell, see.
I never thought I'd see the day when I would calm down.
You ain't heard? I've been known to clown and get around.
That's my word see, you walkin' and you looking good.
Yes, indeed got a body like a sex fiend.
You're killin' me with you attitude to match, right.
Don't be phony, 'cause I hate it when you act like
you don't know me. I been stressin' in the spotlight.
I want the fame but the industries a lot like
a crap game. Ain't no time for commitment.
I gotta go. Can't be with you every minute miss.
Another show. And even though I'm known for my one night stands
look here, I wanna be an honest man,
but Temptations goin',

Throw up a finger
All the homies goin'
Give 'em the finger

You know what? Maybe it's like,
I know, you been searchin' for someone to make you happy and get the job done.
You said you needed a man with money , but I can't be there, and will you still care?

Will I cheat or will I be committed?
Heaven knows, getting weak and I wanna hit it.
So here I go in my ride and I'm all in.
Getting high I can here the people callin'.
I'm passin' by. Everybody knows I'm ballin'
in the car, got to keep myself from fallin',
but it's hard. All the cuties know I'm under pressure.
What do I do? Getting shaky when she pull her dress up.
Say it smooth- should I stroke or should I wait a while?
You decide. If you tell me that you don't want it, that's a lie.
Move closer, let me whisper some dirty words
in you ears as I kiss you on every curve.
Slow down baby don't rush. I like the slow game
can't hold it any longer so let it go.
Open the gates to your waterfall, I'm in heaven.
Don't worry I'll let myself in. All I heard was,

Give 'em the finger
All the homies goin'
Throw your hands up.

I know, you been searchin' for someone to make you happy and get the job done.
You said you needed, a man with money, but I can't be there, and will you still care?

A lot of people think it's easy to settle down.
Got a woman that'll please me in every town.
I don't wanna but I gotta do it.
The temptations got me ready to release the uh, sensations.
Sit down and conversate like you know me.
Take my hand, 'cause even thugs get lonely.
Understand, even the hardest of my homies need attention.
Catch him blowin' up the telephone reminiscing.
I wanna take you to the movies and the park,
a quiet spot for you to do me in the dark.
Now that's passion. Hold me tight,
don't need lights I can see you by the moonlight.
I know you man ain't loving' you right.
You're lonely and depressed, you need a thug in your life.
Enough talking, you want me to leave, I'll get to walkin'.
See you later, 'cause baby I'm a player.
And all I heard was,

Give 'em the finger
All my homies goin'
(Fade)
