But Temptations Go

[Intro]
Yo, Mo Bee, mane, drop that shit
You know what time
Boo-yow, l know it's time for you
So, grab one by the hand, ya know what I'm saying?
And, uh, throw up that finger
Ayy, yo, yo, throw y'all fingers up
Thug style, baby, thug style, ya know?

[Verse 1]
Tell me, baby, are you lonely? Don't wanna rush ya
I can help ya if you only let me touch ya
If I'm wrong, love, tell me 'cause I get caught up
In the life I live, it's Hell see, I never thought I'd
See the day when I would calm down, you ain't heard?
I've been known a clown and get around, that's my word
See you walking and you looking good, yes indeed
Got a body like a sex fiend, you're killing me
With your attitude to match, right? Don't be phony
'Cause I hate it when you act like you don't know me
I've been stressing in the spotlight, I want the fame
But the industry's 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 stand (Look here)
I wanna be an honest man, but temptations go
[Pre-Chorus 1]
Throw up the finger
And all my homies go
Give 'em the finger
You know what, baby? It's like—

[Verse 2]
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 hear the people calling I'm passing by
Everybody knows I'm balling and to God
Gotta keep myself from falling, but it's hard
All the cuties know I'm under pressure, what do I do?
Getting shaky when she pull the dress up, and say it's cool
Should I stroke or should I wait a while? You decide
If you tell me that cha don't want it, that's a lie
Move close and let me whisper some dirty words
In your ears as I kiss ya on every curve
Slow down, baby, don't rush, I like it slow
Can't hold it any longer, so, let it go
Open the gates to your waterfall up in Heaven
And don't worry, I let myself in, all I heard was—

[Pre-Chorus 2]
Give 'em the finger
And all my homies go
Give 'em the finger
It's just the thug in me
You know what, baby? It's like—
[Verse 3]
A lot of people think it's easy da settle down
Got a woman that'll please me in every town
I don't wanna, but I gotta do it, the temptation
Got me ready to release the fluid, sensation
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 you blowing up the telephone, reminiscing
I wanna take you to the movies and the park
A quiet spot for you da do me in the dark
Now that it's passion, hold me tight
Don't need lights, I can see you by the moonlight
I know your man ain't loving you right
You're lonely and depressed, you need a thug in your life
Enough talking, you want me da leave, I'll get to walking
See you later, 'cause, baby, I'm a player, and all I heard was—

[Outro]
Give 'em the finger, and all my homies go
Yo, this how we gonna do this in the nine-trey, ya know?
Throw your fingers up
Ya know? They gonna peep this
This how we run game on you
All my n***as go, uptown in the, give 'em the finger
Throw your hands up, give 'em the finger
