[Intro: Rose Royce]
You abandoned me, you abandoned me
You abandoned me, you abandoned me
You abandoned me, you abandoned me
You abandoned me, you abandoned me

[Verse 1: Esham]
I once had a bitch I thought was all on my team
From cooking up chickens to fuckin' on triple beams
I never really thought that the ho would scheme
Until one day I realized it was all about cream
The bitch had a n***a who was flippin' the script
Plottin' to murder me and take my monster grip
I fucked up and told her where I stacks my chips
Under covеr police gettin' all types of tips
My world cold crumblе in the moment I feared
Confiscated my birds and I shed some tears
Inside connect somebody had to snitch
All this time I didn't know it was my scandalous bitch
And...

[Hook: Slick Rick]
It's all because of you, it's all because of you
It's all because of you, it's all because of you
It's all because of you, it's all because of you
It's all because of you, it's all because of you
[Verse 2: Esham]
Well by now you can guess that it was right on time
Symptoms I'm insane and I was losin' my mind
Twenty birds flew away now they hard to find
And this bitch still actin' like she didn't drop no dime
I played the shit off like she still didn't know
Followed her one night to see where she would go
The bitch met some n***as right up the block
It was the same cop car, the same two cops
I put two and two together and came up with four
Only thought in my mind now was murder the ho
Flacked out no doubt in the 8-5-0
Now I'm plottin' to murder her and she still don't know
And...

[Hook: Slick Rick]
It's all because of you, it's all because of you
It's all because of you, it's all because of you
It's all because of you, it's all because of you
It's all because of you, it's all because of you

[Verse 3: Esham]
I told the bitch to meet me at the KFC
Told her to park her car and ride with me
Looked in my rearview to see what I could see
It was the same two n***as now they followin' me
I turned around the corner, quickly parked my ride
Shot my bitch in the chest, and left her body inside
When the same two n***as pulled up from behind
They were surprised to see a n***a pointin' a nine
No time, I shot a n***a right in his head
Emptied out the clip, both n***as was dead
I fled, my murder wasn't pre-meditated
I left an ounce of cocaine and made 'em drug related
And...
[Hook: Slick Rick]
It's all because of you, it's all because of you
It's all because of you, it's all because of you
It's all because of you, it's all because of you
It's all because of you, it's all because of you

[Outro: Rose Royce, Slick Rick]
You abandoned me, you abandoned me
You abandoned me, you abandoned me
You abandoned me, it's all because of you
