Dis Niggah (for Leslie)


Dis niggah done broke my heart
Done played my tune double-time
So I sinned and sinned and . sinned again
Got caught up
Gave in


Dis niggah done took my sugah
Left me a half a spoon
Can't make no Kool-Aid from foolin' with dat fool
Wanna get my stuff back but a niggah can't be found
Niggahs don't have no daytime schedule
So you never know when a niggah gon be round


Niggahs talk too loud but don't say shit
Wanna make a niggah a man
But a niggah just don't want it
