You and me, why are we living in retrograde
Loving me, losing me, driving without a break
Going full speed ahead never without a fight
Running red lights
Running red lights
Oh, Oh, no turning …
[Chorus]
Trust issues got me being cautious
Not friendly – niggas rolling swishers
Do I wanna hit it – not really
Blood in the streets for any one of my niggas
I’m ridin solo – …
[Hook:]
I’m kissing styrofoam
You know what I be on
Thats what I be on
She know what I be on
Who know what I be on
Thats what I be on
Baby move along
I keep moving …
He’s still driving that 1970 hand-me-down truck
And he’s still wearing that red and black jersey
Waiting for the band to start up
He’s still showing up twenty late, finding hearts and rules …
You know I’m gonna hit it on the radio
You know I’m gonna put it on my video
I know you gon’ be turning up the volume
I know you wanna split me …
You will be mine
Even if you’re somebody else
Girl not for long, girl not for long1
‘Cause I’m your type
If you’ve got the wrong impression
Girl not for long, girl not for long2
Maybe not today, maybe not tomorrow
Maybe at the club, maybe at the bar3
I wanna show you off like a trophy car (whip it)4
‘Cause anything is better than nothing at all
Nothing at all, nothing on you
I just wanna show you a table for two5
All you did was go on a date with a dude
You know he don’t fit, he ain’t tailored for you6
You just on a nigga dick cause cause he sold a brick7
Has he ever wrote a hit on some poet shit?8
That’s who you chillin’ on the sofa with?
I ain’t trippin’, in a minute it’ll be over with, aye9
You will be mine
Even if you’re somebody else
Girl not for long, girl not for long
‘Cause I’m your type
If you’ve got the wrong impression
Girl not for long, girl not for long
Ooh ooh, ooh, ooh, ooh, ooh, ooh, ooh
(But not for long)
Girl not for long10
Girl not for long
Ooh ooh, ooh, ooh, ooh, ooh, ooh, ooh
(But not for long)
Girl not for long
Girl not for long
When they see us together, hell naw they can’t stand it
I wonder if you’re matchin’ you bras with them panties11
A gorgeous skin tan, hit the mall and do damage
The way she hit the high notes, we all gon’ have Grammys12
This marble not granite (Tiptoein’)
From the counter, to the shower, for a hour13
Super powers, super powers
That’s that mojo, Austin Powers
Search “real nigga”, I’ma pop up in your browser14
Aye, so go and get your body wet
Panties off, we ain’t made it to the lobby yet15
Put you on game girl so it’s obvious
I gave you the world if you ain’t got it yet16
Bobby
You will be mine
Even if you’re somebody else
Girl not for long, girl not for long
‘Cause I’m your type
If you’ve got the wrong impression
Girl not for long, girl not for long
Ooh ooh, ooh, ooh, ooh, ooh, ooh, ooh
(But not for long)
Girl not for long
Girl not for long
Ooh ooh, ooh, ooh, ooh, ooh, ooh, ooh
(But not for long)
Girl not for long
Girl not for long
You might leave with someone else
But I still see that you fiend a be with a G17 like me
You’ll never need, no one else
And I know you know
I’ma be like I told you so18
You will be mine
Even if you’re somebody else
Girl not for long, girl not for long
‘Cause I’m your type
If you’ve got the wrong impression
Girl not for long, girl not for long
Ooh ooh, ooh, ooh, ooh, ooh, ooh, ooh
Girl not for long
Girl not for long
Ooh ooh, ooh, ooh, ooh, ooh, ooh, ooh
Girl not for long
Girl not for long
