jealous...

i cant stand a fight but i'm tired of playin games
it's takin all mah energy ta not go insane
you've said it's you and i but, her, you'd never betray
you say that she's a friend - but i'm your girl just tha same
it's not like you're alone - cause you've got me at home
your boys, you got them any day - she don't need you anyway
so why are you there for her when you should stick up for us?
we've still got our trust, but i'ma tell you, i'm jealous...

and why i gotta call you all like "baby, where you at?"
jus ta hear that hoe up in your car talkin bout "who was that?"
it seems she's got you whipped when you're with her away from home
cause she won't let you call me boo or say i love you on tha phone
you know what i've been through, so i can't lose you
i hate leavin you alone wit her - i'm turnin green and envy burns
i should let yall do your thng an not give a fuck
but it's her i don't trust - what can i say, i'm just jealous...

you never let me know where the two of you go
you're with her all tha time - it's something i dont like
if yall are no more than friends, then why cant it end?
if she's not puttin out, then why's she still around?

so now it's like i'm just not thinkin right
it's to the point where i can't sleep at night
you've got me trippin over you and her
every second you're not in mah sight
i don't wanna take it no more
cause i don't know for sure
if yall are just friends and that's where it ends
i'm sorry - one of us has got to go...
cause i'm jealous...





tha story...

    So there's a special man in mah life - no names... This man likes to fuck around with me - he LIVES to piss me off. I spent the summer of 2002 in California - where I couldn't keep my eye on my man. He, mysteriously, stopped calling me, and, every time I called him, he was with one of his girl friends. It was actually because of one of his "friends" that I dumped him for the first time. I'm an insanely jealous person, hence the song. As yall can see for yourselves, the song is very much self-explanitory...






tha dedications...

    This one goes out to this man of mine. I've grown out of my homicidal bouts of jealousy, but this song's a keeper. It's the only one that has been able to capture, without any sacrifice to poetic liscence or other, exactly what was running through my mind. It's the only song that I've written, in its entirety, in one sitting. The first verse just spilled onto the paper, then the chorus, and then the second verse to balance the vague first with its explicit recount of everything that was pissing me off at the time. I relive those old phone calls every time I sing this song...
