What's on Your Mind Lyrics

(I got it)
(I got it)
The question is question number one is that is
Is what's on your mind?
What's is on your mind? (I got, I got, I got, I got it)
What's on my mind?
Yeah, what is on your mind?
Well, I guess
You guess what
Yeah, I do want to know (I got it)

There's a few things I would like to know
What's that?
If you're fuck a drug dealer does that make you a hoe?
Yup
No, it doesn't, what makes you say that?
Yes it does
C'mon now, how are you livin' out there?
I don't know, how you livin'?
This much you know is true
So that makes your girl a hoe, too
Hell no
How come?
'Cause she's not, I don't sell drugs
Please, c'mon who you handing that shit to?
C'mon tell me now, what do you do?
You wear a lot of gold
Yeah
And make a lot of money
Uh-huh
You tell me you make records
Yup
Honey
C'mon now, 'cause I ain't goin' for it
And all that other bullshit, huh, I just ignore it
If a guy buys you drink just because he likes you
Girl gets jealous and then they want to fight you
Word
C'mon now, I ain't wit it
And all that other stuff like I said, forget it (I got it)
Now I see that you wanna be unkind
Oh yeah
What I am saying is, what's on your mind?
What's on your mind, Shanté?
But I can imagine what's on your mind
I've been trying to tell you but
Let me tell you something else that I want to let you know
Yeah? What's that? (I got, I got, I got, I got it)

When a guy that doesn't have nothing, wants to say something
You know he's just frontin'
Yeah
Trying to pop shit, saying he got this and that
Aight
When he ain't got a pot to piss in, in fact
What?
And now he is trying to say that he's getting over
C'mon now, I think you're drunk, you better sober
What?
Sober up, so you can hear what I am saying
What are you saying?
What's on your mind?
And I'm not playing
I'm not trying to hear that
What are you saying?
You ain't sayin' nothin'

Well, what?
Well, for the last time
This is what is on my mind
What's on your mind?
I gotta gets mine
I gotta get lined
I gotta get styles
Cause I have to make you holla
Yeah
Make you scream and then grab you by the collar
Aight
Take you to law or rather the tailor
Let you know now, huh, I'm not a failure
I am the one that will always succeed
Word
I have what all the fellas need
Word
And if they gotta pay for it
That's what they'll do
What the fuck is you laughing for?
(?) You
And if I do, you know that you would take it
Now stand there and pretend like you wouldn't fake it
Stop that, you better stop that
But then again, no need to act tough
'Cause if I was to give you some, you don't have enough
Stop that
Not enough to get me, to get any
C'mon now, you tryin' to posture like you got plenty
Plenty of money? Huh? You got plenty of shit
And after that, I ain't goin' for it
Yeah I got plenty of that too
And now you really want to get on time?
I'm asking you again, what's on your mind?
And before you can even say what's on my mind again
Let me just finish it off so you can know how I feel about everything

Girls gotta get paid, whether she's a freak
Word
No need to hide it, there is no need to sneak
There's no shame
'Cause if you're getting paid, then don't feel ashamed
And if they call you a hoe, then that's not your name
Because your name could be any way you want it
Word
And let me let you know right now, and if you got to pawn it
Sounds good
Or got to front it
Or let me know how you beef
Well be like me
And get your cake and be free
Nah, you got people lookin' for you
Now, you just mad
'Cause your girl don't look like I do
Ain't got half of what I got
You got (?) Ass jeans
Ain't got shit goin' for her
Everybody and their brother want to get you
And she dropped out of the 8th grade
They looking for you
Bitch got nappy hair
Yeah
And don't know what the fuck to do with herself
Don't play yourself
She's tryin' to get in shows
Beggin' for passes and shit
You're real funny
And that's why she want to be with you for
Yeah, yeah, yeah
And you know it
And she didn't even visit your ass
So don't give me that
