How's It Goin' Down Lyrics

(All I want is you, the one I want)
(All I want is you, the one I want)
What type of games is being played? How's it going down?
It's on 'til it's gone, then I gots to know now
Is you wit me or what? Think I'm tryna get me a nut
Just 'cause honeys wanna give me the butt, what

I'm politicking with this chicken wondering if I'ma creep her
Little hoodrat bitch from 25th named Tenika
Coming through, like I do, you know, getting my bark on
Knew she was a thug 'cause when I met her she had a scarf on
5411, size 7 in girls
Babyface, would look like she was 11 with curls
Girlfriend (what) remember me, from way back?
I'm the same cat with the wave cap
The motherfucker that TNT used to blaze at
Still here so it's all good
Oh you know my niggas Rich and them
Doing they thing on 35th? Damn, it's a small hood
And it's all wood, so let me get that number, I get up, aight
Hit you on the jack later on, see what's up
Talking to shorty made me wanna do something nice
Looking at that ass made me wanna do something tonight
And I know right when I see right, shorty looking like she tight
She bite, let her give a nigga the green light, we might

What type of games is being played? How's it going down?
It's on 'til it's gone, then I gots to know now
Is you wit me or what? Think I'm tryna get me a nut
Just 'cause honeys wanna give me the butt, what

What type of games is being played? How's it going down?
It's on 'til it's gone, then I gots to know now
Is you wit me or what? Think I'm tryna get me a nut
Just 'cause honeys wanna give me the butt, what

I'm getting at shorty like what you need? What you want?
Want for nothing 'cause I got you, but you front
I see you with your baby father but it don't matter
Since you gave me the pussy, that ass is getting fatter
Let that nigga play daddy, make moves with me
I'da kept it more than real boo, can't lose with me
Heard he smacked you 'cause you said my name while y'all was sexing
Ran up on this cat, he thought was me, and started flexing
You know I ain't even with that, so he gon' have to get that just on GP
Try to creep me, what? Leave that nigga sleepy
On the strength of you, that's your kid's daddy
I ain't gon' send him on his way, put him up in that big Caddy
But let him know, never mind yo, I need you to go
Take this snow up to 1-5-0, see Joe
Get that, come back with that, we can split that, sit back
Fuck, puff a L, forget that, you wit that?

What type of games is being played? How's it going down?
It's on 'til it's gone, then I gots to know now
Is you wit me or what? Think I'm tryna get me a nut
Just 'cause honeys wanna give me the butt, what

What type of games is being played? How's it going down?
It's on 'til it's gone, then I gots to know now
Is you wit me or what? Think I'm tryna get me a nut
Just 'cause honeys wanna give me the butt, what

Ayo, this chicken got me digging her moves, 'cause she smooth
Win or lose, whoever she choose, it's the dues
Respect is not expected but it's given 'cause it's real
Being neglected's the norm, expect it, the deal
Lie, cheat, and steal for me
Putting something in a nigga's wig if you squeal for me
Kill for me, you're still with me 'cause we get down like what
Told you's from the door, it ain't all about a nut
I'm gon' be fair, trying to be there, we gon' see then
Hit me with the question boo, that answer gon' be yeah
See there, something can go wrong, it does
Loved it, let it go, but it came back, that's how strong it was
But you belonged to 'cus, couldn't belong to me
You had two kids by this nigga, it was wrong for me
But we gon' always be best of friends, haha
Mad love, Boo, to the end, haha

What type of games is being played? How's it going down?
It's on 'til it's gone, then I gots to know now
Is you wit me or what? Think I'm tryna get me a nut
Just 'cause honeys wanna give me the butt, what

What type of games is being played? How's it going down?
