"Baby" lyrics

"Baby"
(feat. John-John)

"Ommmm..."
Go 'head, nigga!

Nigga... slow down when you hittin' them corners
Fuck around, spill this 'gnac on my two hundred dollar suit
(Stop being a backseat driver, man)
Uh... aw now, baby...
(Turn him up)

Your ma don't like the jitterbug, said this unholy music
"Hip-Hop just so ridiculous, everything sounds so confusin'"
Nowadays ain't nothing like it was
One thing that's sho' – the blues is
This system so mysterious
Can't let that stop the movement
Can't get no satisfaction –
They all laughing, glad it's happening
All ringside for the main attraction
Actin' a fool, with a lust for action
Young girl, caught in a crime of passion
Sitting there, crying in designer fashion
Didn't build, didn't have time for asking
Somebody call for the ambulances, girl...

Baby, baby, baby...
(Oh now, baby!)
Baby, let me live, please, girl, let me slide!
Baby, baby, baby...
Baby, if you let me go, I swear I'd change, just change yo' mind!

Your ol' man don't like the jitterbug, said this ol' dirty music
Hip Hop just so ridiculous, them stories too confusin'"
Nowadays, he ain't loving you like he was
And you wait there, just for usin'
Could have sworn that was him with another girl
And they wasn't out just for cruisin'
Can't get no satisfaction
He out late nights, probably smashin'
Leaving a trail like trolley tracks
Or the train underground downtown Manhattan
E'rybody seen him, run around and you bound to catch him
The condoms, you found and asked him
"Was all this just for practice?"
He didn't realize what he had
Now your heart got fractured, girl

Baby, baby, baby...
(Oh now, gorgeous!)
Baby, let me live, please, girl, let me slide!
Baby, baby, baby...
Baby, if you let me go, I swear I'd change, just change yo' mind!

Baby, baby, baby...
Baby, baby, baby...
