If you were worried 'bout where I been or who I saw or-
What club I went to with my homies
Baby, don't worry, you know that you got me
If you were worried 'bout where I been or who I saw or-
What club I went to with my homies
Baby, don't worry, you know that you got me
Somebody told me that this planet was small
We used to live in the same building on the same floor
And never met before until I'm overseas on tour
And peeped this Ethiopian queen from Philly takin' classes abroad
She studyin' film and photo, flash, focus, record
Said she workin' on a flick and could my clique do the score?
She said she loved my show in Paris at Élysée Montmartre
And that I stepped off the stage and took a piece of her heart
We knew from the start that things fall apart and tend to shatter
She like, "That sh- don't matter," when I get home, get at her
Through letter, phone, whatever, let's link, let's get together
This sh-, you think not? Think the thought went home and forgot?
Time passed, we back in Philly, now she up in my spot
Tellin' me the things I'm tellin' her is makin' her hot
Started buildin' with her constantly, 'round the clock
Now she in my world like hip-hop, they keep tellin' me, tellin' me, ya
If you were worried 'bout where I been or who I saw or-
What club I went to with my homies
Baby, don't worry, you know that you got me
If you were worried 'bout where I been or who I saw or-
What club I went to with my homies
Baby, don't worry, you know that you got me
Yo, I'm the type that's always catchin' a flight (uh-huh)
And sometimes I got to be out at the height of the night
And that's when she flip and get on some old, "Another lonely night?"
Seem like I'm on the side, you only lovin' your mic
I know you gotta get that paper, daddy, keep that sh- tight
But, yo, I need some sort of love in my life, you dig me?
While politickin' with my sister from New York City
She said she know this ball player and he think I'm pretty
Psych, I'm playin', boo, you know it's just with you, I'm stayin', boo
And when cats be poppin' game, I don't hear what they sayin', boo
When you out there in the world, I'm still your girl
With all my classes, I don't have the time for life's thrills
So when you sweatin' on stage, think of me when you rhyme
And don't be listenin' to your homies, they be leadin' you blind
Yeah, so what you sayin'? I can trust you?
Is you crazy? You, my king, for real
But sometimes relationships get ill, no doubt
If you were worried 'bout where I been or who I saw or-
What club I went to with my homies
Baby, don't worry, you know that you got me
If you were worried 'bout where I been or who I saw or-
What club I went to with my homies
Baby, don't worry, you know that you got me
That snake could be that chick and that rat could be that cool cat
That's whisperin', "She tryna play you for the fool, Black"
If something's on your chest, then let it be known (right)
See, I'm not your every five minutes all on the phone
And on the topic of trust, it's just a matter of fact
That people bite backs and fracture what's intact
And there'll forever be (right), I ain't on some, "Oh, I'm a celebrity"
I deal with the real, so if it's artificial, let it be
I seen people caught in love like whirlwinds (caught in love like whirlwinds)
Listenin' to they squads and listenin' to girlfriends (right, they're listenin' to girlfriends)
That's exactly the point where they whole world ends
Lies come in, that's where the drama begins, and she like, ya
If you were worried 'bout where I been or who I saw or-
What club I went to with my homies
Baby, don't worry, you know that you got me
If you were worried 'bout where I been or who I saw or-
What club I went to with my homies
Baby, don't worry, you know that you got me
If you were worried 'bout where I been or who I saw or-
What club I went to with my homies
Baby, don't worry, you know that you got me
If you were worried 'bout where I been or who I saw or-
What club I went to with my homies
Baby, don't worry, you know that you got me
If you were worried 'bout where I been or who I saw or-
What club I went to with my homies
Baby, don't worry...
