Put That Woman First

(album: Still Ghetto - 2002)

Oooh...ooh...ooh...ooh... (Yeah)
If they gleam in the sun
while they spin and they fit on my truck then {I could remember}
And if it came in the sack
No stems no seeds in the bag girl {I could remember}

And if they drip from my wrist and they look like they shine like new then
{I could remember}
But Ohhh girl
I forgot to be your lover

If it wasn't for the 9 to 5
Double-up overtime then {I could remember}
If it wasn't for the Sunday all star
weekend games girl {I could remember}

And if it wasn't for the dough
Gettin fifty g's a show girl ya know that {I could remember}
But silly me, silly me
Ohhh
Tell me how could I ever forget to be your lover

Now I realize that you need love too (Oh, yeah)
Spend my life making love to you
Oh, girl
Oh, I forgot to be your lover

When she starts bringing up old dirt
And the fights keep getting worse (Oh, brother)
Finding numbers in her purse
Better put that woman first (Yeah)

And you know she ain't wearing her ring (Oh, no)
When she starts playing little games
Coming in late from work
You better put that woman first

If it wasn't for the make up on my shirt
Still I'd be chasing skirts then {I could remember}
And if it wasn't for that fight last night
You smashin out my headlights then {I could remember}

If it wasn't for parole
Steady ducking my P O girl you know {I could remember}
But silly me, silly me, babe
Tell me how could I ever forget to be your lover

Now I realize that you need love too
Spend my life making love to you
Oh, girl
Oh, I forgot to be your lover

When she starts bringing up old dirt (Bringing up old shhhh)
And the fights keep getting worse
(Oh...oh...oh...oh...)
Finding numbers in her purse (I'm telling you, brother)
Better put that woman first (You better put your woman first)

And you know she ain't wearing her ring (Oh, yeah)
When she starts playing little games (I'm-I'm-I'm-I'm telling you, brother)
Coming in late from work
You better put that woman first (Put that woman first)

{So many times} Actin like it wasn't really nothing
{So many ways} Kept to myself, always running
{So many games} All that I sin
{So many words} I need you to stay
{Always came first} Even though sometimes falling
second
{Came down to love} You know I had to win the last race
{Spend some time} Put in some work
{And for better or worse} Always put that woman first

When she starts bringing up old dirt
And the fights keep getting worse (Getting worse)
Finding numbers in her purse (In her purse)
Better put that woman first (Put that woman first)

And you know she ain't wearing her ring (Ooh, yeah)
When she starts playing little games (Her little games)
Coming in late from work (I'mma say it again)
You better put that woman first (Put that woman, put that woman first)

When she starts bringing up old dirt
And the fights keep getting worse (She's gonna leave you)
Finding numbers in her purse
Better put that woman first (Yeah, yeah, yeah)

And you know she ain't wearing her ring (Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah)
When she starts playing little games (Yeah, yeah)
Coming in late from work
You better put that woman first
