Q-Tip
The Night He Got Caught
[Hook: Q-Tip]
We got somethin' (Yo, yo we got somethin')
For all of y'all
We like to play (Yeah we like to play)
We like to ball (Yeah we like to ball)
This is a story (Yo, this is a story yo)
For all of you (This is just for you)
When we do our thing
We got to do it true
[Verse: Q-Tip]
Sittin' in my canvas in the corner of my room
12:45 as the radio booms
Paging you six times
Call you on your cell but it's just a bad line
It's a full moon so I guess I'm bout to howl
Thinkin' thoughts like "Is my girl gonna prowl?"
Naw, I guess she wouldn't violate us
Plus hittin' gets for real and she doesn't like to fuss
Callin up the shorty that I met four weeks
On the street, lookin' sweet, and I was about to eat
Conscious of my lady but we was on the outs
Had mad love but I had mad doubts
On the phone talkin' gettin' on my swerve
But thinking 'bout my lady, guess I had some nerve
We was still dreamin' and I had a little shot
Cause I didn't even hear it when the door unlocked
"Damn, where the hell was you at?
Damn, why you coming in late?
Damn, where the hell was you at?"
"Damn, where the hell was you at?
Damn, why you coming in late?
Damn, where the hell was you at, why you coming in late?"
Now she standing over me, I said "I gotta go"
Turned around quick but I hung it up slow
"What's the deal, love, what's goin' on?
I see it in ya face, just tell me what's wrong"
"Mm nothin', I think we need to speak"
"Mm okay, well, just have a seat"
She wears a frown, she lookin' 'round
Sweat coming down and she doesn't make a sound (Shh shh)
Tappin on the table growin' impatient
I'm gettin' up and now I start pacing
She says "Alright!" as she starts to conversate
"I'ma do what you do" and I say "Elaborate"
"Well you got that girl on the side
What if I had a guy then, too?
Would your heart be broken, boy?
I'd wonder what you do"
"Are you tellin' me you got a dude
Who's lovin' you better than me?"
"No, but I caught ya ass
So I guess I'm settin' you free"
"Yeah, whatever" as a standin' pride
"Me and her is only friends though, we never end, yo
We're gonna still tie intimate ends, yo
I don't think so, my shit is on lock, ho"
"Word? That's how it's goin'?
Well I guess it was really good knowin'"
"I'ma still just keep in contact"
"Oh, no, there's no need for that" (N***a, uh)
[Hook]
We got somethin' (Yo, word up)
For all of y'all (For everybody out there)
We like to play (We love to play)
We like to ball (And we love to ball, to ball)
This is a song (But this is a song)
For all of you (For all of us, haha right?)
When we do our thing (When we doing it)
We got to do it true (Be true to that)
[Outro]
Be true to that, be true
Be true to that, be true
Be true to that, be true
True true true true true (Yeah)
(People gravitate towards the truth)
