[00:03.230]Michelle, why you gotta tell Mickey everything about us?
[00:06.992]'Cause I needed somebody to talk to
[00:09.247]But you're trying to make it seem like I started it all
[00:11.751]I just told her the story the way it went
[00:14.007]Michelle
[00:14.760]What?
[00:16.013]Look, since you seem to be forgetting, I'mma tell you the story from the beginning, aight?
[00:19.773]Mhm
[00:20.776]Cruising down the Ave with my homeboy Boove
[00:23.283]Laying back like jack, mellowing to the groove
[00:25.539]The "Greatest Man Alive" was cold rocking my world
[00:27.798]Then I rocked a little harder when I saw this fresh, fly girl
[00:30.553]Oh hold up, I can't go out like a nut
[00:32.810]I had to conjure out a cool way to strut
[00:35.316]They call me E.S., the overlord of fresh
[00:37.825]I saw you in the dress, and I just had to impress
[00:40.081]My compliment, came through in a clutch
[00:42.338]She started to blush, then I knew what was up
[00:44.848]Called her next morning, said "What'll it be?
[00:47.355]Dinner and a movie or just chillin' with me?"
[00:49.612]She said "Me", so I went and got the slimmie
[00:52.117]But as soon as I opened the door she said, "Gimme!"
[00:54.623]It was like I was a bone, and she was fetchin'
[00:56.631]She gobbled, cold swallowed my one's like Greedy Gretchen
[00:59.391]Then after a couple of weeks of good loving my friends
[01:01.898]She did the dummy move, and started asking for my dividends
[01:04.405]Rah rah, rah rah rah rah rah
[01:09.171]Come around the corner looking funky fresh
[01:11.427]This new jack babe started poppin' a mess
[01:13.934]Steady trip, cause I ain't call her last night
[01:16.190]I kindly pulled her to the side and said "Yo, take a hike"
[01:18.446]'Cause I don't need it girl, too many problems in this world
[01:21.527]So go on ahead with your jheri curl
[01:23.282]She wanted Jefferson's and Lincoln's
[01:25.038]I said, "No way! Yo slim, what do you think this is, President's Day?"
[01:28.358]People start buggin' over things like that honey
[01:30.866]You know the time, so don't act funny with my money
[01:33.125]I refuse to abuse my savings and loans
[01:35.276]So if you want some ends baby, you best go with your own
[01:37.783]Now I said it once before, and I'mma say it again
[01:41.234]Best believe you won't receive no dividends
[01:43.876]Michelle, how come every time we argue
[01:46.134]It always gotta be about money?
[01:48.142]When I was with Steady B, I had it all
[01:50.401]Gucci, Louis Vuitton, gold, Liz Claiborne, I had it all
[01:55.166]You ain't giving me nothing
[01:57.421]It's a shame, nowadays you've got to stay paid
[01:59.927]It ain't like the old days, when you could serenade
[02:02.184]Take walks with your girl at night in the park
[02:04.440]And in the shadow, secretly steal her heart
[02:06.948]But the new wave 80's has everything reversible
[02:09.455]Instead of walks, you drive a Cadillac convertible
[02:11.963]Two's bound to kill you, all you need is one
[02:14.223]To constantly bug you to get her hair done
[02:16.730]Every week's a new style, she's always got to rock it
[02:19.240]Like a Super Bowl sack, she's tackling your pockets
[02:21.496]But when you want to chill
[02:23.002]You find that something always blocks it
[02:24.256]You're looking for your wallet, but your girlfriend's got it
[02:26.514]I tried to put you D, cause you was my friend
[02:28.774]You didn't listen, now she's got you for your dividends
[02:31.355]You bought another dress? This is ridiculous!
[02:35.543]That's the third dress this week!
[02:39.062]The world is very different now
[02:43.569]The world is very different now
[02:45.827]Now I don't like to get upset, and I don't like to riff
[02:48.084]But one thing that gets me hype is when girls shoot the gift
[02:50.339]Now there's a little saying about the J-O-B
[02:52.846]But what she's really trying to do is take your D-O-E
[02:55.104]And wreck your whole check on the latest design
[02:57.615]When you're broke, it's all a joke
[02:59.018]But when you're paid, it's fine
[03:00.522]This advice to you I lend
[03:01.525]Begin to let it sink, and you can spin
[03:02.778]But don't be taking nothing my friend
[03:05.034]Now I said it once before, and I'mma say it again
[03:07.290]Best believe you won't receive no dividends
[03:09.799]Now I said it once before, and I'mma say it again
[03:12.057]Best believe you won't receive no dividends
[03:16.098]Word, ya know what I'm sayin'?
[03:18.105]I don't mind giving my girl somethin'
[03:20.612]Or any woman for that matter, if they need it
[03:22.366]But love shouldn't be used as a personal VISA card on the strength
[03:24.875]'Cause the same way you're trying to get somebody
[03:27.886]You can get got
[03:28.889]Workers large still in effect, ain't that right Wood?
[03:32.148]Ye-yeah, ye-yeah
[03:34.402]Why you looking at me like that ES?
[03:36.658]'Cause man Michelle
[03:37.414]If I had known you were going to do me like this
[03:39.923]I would have never stepped to you from the giddy up
[03:42.353]Well, if I had known you weren't going to provide for me
[03:44.453]I wouldn't have talked to you anyway, Straight up
[03:47.212]I thought you was the Greatest Man Alive, but I guess I was wrong
[03:50.762]Psh, I wonder if my grand-pops and pops went through things
[03:53.270]Like this back in the day, 'cause man
[03:56.280]This ain't worth it
[03:58.541]The world is very different now
