Payback

(album: This Is How We Do It - 1995)

[Montell]
I called you on the phone
To see if you was at home alone
Something just ain't right
Tell me, where were you last night?
You were supposed to be with me
And I paged your ass around 10:33
You didn't even call me back
Now tell me, baby, what up wit that?

Now you told me you need
A man like me from the streets
Remember when I was tossing
That ass on 4th and Slawson
You said I was everything you want
And now all the condoms that I bought
I gotta box 'em up for the next one
Cuz you just wanna flex and have your fun, baby

[Coolio]
You wanna play those games
Thought you was dealing wit a flea
But you're dealing wit a G
You better recognize the C, double O, L
I'm down wit Montell (how you living homie?)
I'm living kinda swell
I thought you was the one, yeah
I thought you was my baby
Now I see through your games
And I know you're trying to play me
So you can put your pumps on and get your rump on
Cuz your hump ain't that strong
Well, you can have my Land Rove
Give me 30 minutes and a fifth of yak
And I'll rip that, smack that, hit that ass
Like King-T do's it
I got to go ripping it
Put you to the side, so I can catch up on my pimping
Ya better make a left wit the bullshit you sticking me with
Brothas be hitting up they hood on your kitten
My partner don't play that
Yeah, I had to say that
What go around, come back around
This is the payback

[Montell]
And it feels just like payback
Ay yo, who's pimping who?
And shit like that
All those games you're trying to play
You'll miss out on a good thing baby
(It feels like) Payback
Who's playing who, girl?
Cuz that was kinda wack
All those gizames, you're trying to plizay
Yeah

Girl, it feels like payback
I really really hate to say that
I thought you was trifling, giving me the shove
But you're gonna miss, you're gonna miss my love
(Oh, I thought she was mad as hell, cuz I was for one thing)
Way back I was cheating
You wanna get even, but I ain't going out like that
If I apologize for all the lies
Oh, believe me girl, I'm sorry
There's a right and a wrong way to love somebody
And I know the right way
Can we start tonight babe?
You need to lose that loser in a hurry
And you're never gonna have to worry
No, no, hell no

Feels like payback
Who's pimping who?
And shit like that
All those games you're trying to play
You'll miss out on a good thing, baby
It feels like payback
Mistakes that I made (way back) baby
All those gizames you're trying to plizay
You're gonna miss, you're gonna miss my love

Feels like payback
Who's pimping who?
And shit like that
All those games you're trying to play
(All those games that you were trying to play)
(Said it feels just like) Feels like payback
Who's playing who, girl?
Cuz that was kinda wack
All those gizames your trying to plizay
Oh, girl

We'll miss that loving that we shared for oh so long
Let's put this all behind us
And love will always find us
You see, all of your men and my girlfriends
They'll all be in the past
We'll be solid as a rock
And we'll make it
We'll make it
Yeah, yeah, hey hey
Gonna miss out on a good...

It feels just like it
(Feels like) Payback
(And I ain't even like that baby)
