Lyrics & chords

[Chorus 1]
[Dm]I never wanted you t[Em]o be my man[Dm]
I just need your [C]company[Am]
[Dm]Don't want to get dependent on[Em]
Your time or who you spend it [Dm]on
But I lose the way you [C]love [Am]me
[Dm]Like smoke[Fm], I hung around
[C]And be your balance (oh-)
[Dm]Woah, oh o[Fm]h-[C]

[Verse 1]
It's not a [Dm]movie
This is not a script to proof read
I spit some [Em]untruths
to dumb fools and groupies
Fun to punctu[Dm]ate,
pronounciate the funds I make
The miles I take put in your [C]face
Oh, my mistake, you're not a [Am]floozy
Then excuse me
[Dm]Before I talk, my style introduced me
Get your [Em]name and phone number like
one- two- three
Y'all know the [Dm]story,
y'all know the commentary
I kick the [C]narrative, this is [Am]legendary
The good Sa[Dm]maritan, hood thespian
Like a polygamist, [Fm]with a twist
Will I marry again? Maybe, I [C]guess
I hold a lady interest
I just met the love sholar,
She's the teacher's pet
Every other eve we'd [Dm]meet
and make each other sweat
I feel triumphant, no [Fm]strings
Just a fling to have fun with
I be out in [Em]London, Camden
Huntin' for the answers,
why did [Am]God take away the homie?
I can't stand it
I'm a [Dm]firm believer
that we all meet up in eternity
[G]Just hope the big man
show me some courtesy
[Em]Why? 'Cause I'm deemed a heart breaker
Like [Am]smoke,

[Chorus 2]
girls linger 'round a player, yeah - yuh
[Dm]I never wanted you t[Em]o be my man
[Dm]I just needed comp[C]any[Am]
[Dm]Don't want to get dependent on[Em]
Your time or who [Dm]you spend it on
I lose the way [C]you [Am]love me
[Dm]Like smoke,
[Fm]I hang around in the[C] unbalanced (oh-)
[Dm]Woah, oh-[Fm][C]
[Dm]Hey-[Fm] oh- o[Em]h-[Am]
[Dm]oh, [G]woah- oh ooo[Em]h, o[Am]h- Yo!

[Verse 2]
This re[Dm]cession is a test
It's affecting my complexion
Misdi[Em]rectin' my affection
My concerns of bill collections
The [Dm]facts is the taxes, they after me
Chapter three, my [C]property, my handlers,
They [Am]dealt with me improperly
[Dm]I say some things
I should probably keep privately
E[Em]valuate the World Bank trusts like I'm IEG
[Dm]This fly suites and my bourgeoisie
Tall [C]freak,
she wouldn't protest with [Am]me at Wall Street
She says, [Dm]no you're so deep
I said, no let's go through it
His[Fm]torically so ruthless
feds came for Joe Louis
[C]She said, my man,
you need to laugh sometime
Classifies me as a bore
I told I have some wine
You col[Dm]der than penguin pussy, at her dismay
[Fm]She's thinkin' that's just so silly to say
But if you [C]really think about it hussy
See a penguin,
he drags his ass on the ground all day
And it's a [Dm]dragon, it's a bastard
you're in tune with, just lust
I'm through with [Fm]you after my crush
So is that humorous enough?
[C]The smoke I puff
Tell the car to go to Aura, Funky Buddah,
Whisky Mist on Mayfair
[Dm]I hope I meet some Monie Love
so she can show me [Fm]love
NYC to UK I might stay there
[Em]Everybody in the club tonight say, "Yeah"
[Am]You know how me and Amy are
straight players
[Dm]Oh- [G]woah- oh ooo[Em]h, o[Am]h-

[Chorus 3]
[Dm]I never wanted you t[Em]o be my man
[Dm]I just needed comp[C]any[Am]
[Dm]Don't want to get dependent on[Em]
Your time or who you [Dm]spend it on
I lose it when you [C]love [Am]me
[Dm]Like smoke,
[Fm]I hang around in the[C] unbalanced (oh-)
[Dm]Whoa, oh o[Fm]h- (o[C]h-)
[Dm]Hey-[Fm] oh- o[Em]h-[Am]
[Dm]oh, [G]woah- oh ooo[Em]h, o[A]h-
