[Verse 1]
Life is trife when you think you someone’s wife
Not literally, of course, another taken divorce procedures
Brothas be poppin some ridiculous nonsense
And right now, I don’t need nobody playin with my patience
What made you get on some ole ill tips suggestion?
You buggin aight, now I’m gonna teach you a lesson
Collect whatevers yours your love has been fought
I don’t wish for the pleasure of your company no more
Are you hard of hearing? I said take your things and go
What is this the A-Team maneuver? You Rambo?
Yo, This is getting more ridiculous by the minute
Oh you choking me to death now you in it to win it
Offering me friends you to abusive to me, my man
Your time is up because I just don’t give a damn

Friend: So what happened he left?
Monie Love:Nah I left. I stepped. I moved. I got away from him. You know what I’m saying?
Friend: But why?

[Verse 2]
If you have an explanation, then brother speak for yourself
I mean to say, you got your own mouth piece
I do believe depend on nobody else
Bruises heal feelings don’t and when you wish
To see your daughter best believe that you won’t
And brother if you are wise, you’ll say your record goodbyes
Because positively I will play you like a wet French fry
I can do bad by myself. I don’t need any assistance
I suggest the rest of time you keep your distance
I wasn’t born to be cursed with hands inflicting me pain
Remain a prospect for you—exactly what would I gain?
I graduated from school. Although I have me a daughter
Should I continue on? Yea, that’s what I oughta
If love comes comes with abuse I’d rather leave it then take it
No need to fake it
I can only take so much. And such and such
Life goes on and I’m strong, too much potential
To be with someone who’s doing me wrong
Negative vibes I detect, and you supposed to respect and protect me
What a slam, but yo, I just don’t give a damn

Friend: Sista me and Twin seen him on the block, with another girl, in our faces, with anoth—what’s up with that? You know I was heading towards the graveyard anyways so I just stepped I gotta get away from him cause he ain't all that you know I said be ya or see ya and I said see ya! (See ya!) Ha ha ha

[Verse 3]
Do I breathe? Honey please, don’t flatter yourself
Take that thought, shove it somewhere on a dusty shelf
Cause I’m a trooper, and I live through the hardships
I’mma find a piece of puzzle that fits, where the gaps be
Cause I’mma be somebody
Dependent on myself, provide for me and so my baby
And I will never forget who I am
You screwed up B, and hey, I just don’t give a damn

Friend: Yo me and sista are moms we just all agreed that you worth more than that
You got people to see, and you got things to do, and you got much other brothers that you could be talkin to
So get the info B, hear the message, just like Lyte said: "We ain't havin it", so whats up sis?
You know you, tryina kick that willy bobo to me but I wasn’t having it. Think I wasn’t when I was? You know what I’m sayin? You know, all that [?] I don’t know what to say
