Ma — How You Gonna Tell Me

[Verse 1] See every time me and my man get into a fight This girl is giving her advice She wanna say he ain't no good And she think I should get another man in my life But I don't see how she gon' tell me What she think a man should or should not be Cause her love life ain't right She needs to get it tight before she be steppin' me [Pre-Chorus] Now come on, if you've been divorced more than twice And you wanna give advice 'bout my love life, oh no You can just forget that, I don't need that So you can just go ahead and keep that And if you always lookin' a mess But yet you wanna tell me how to dress, oh no I don't wanna hear that, I won't take that So you can just go ahead and save that [Chorus] At least if you were gonna try and give advice About my life Have your own shit right Cause you ain't even livin' what you preach to me So please, how you gonna tell me At least if you were gonna try and give advice About my life Have your own shit right Cause you ain't even livin' what you preach to me So please, how you gonna tell me [Verse 2] Tell me why do I find that the blind Is always trying to lead the blind They always got something to say every day About the way you do your thang But I don't see how they gon' tell me what I need Or how I need to be Cause if they ain't doing what I wanna do Living like I wanna live I don't wanna hear it [Pre-Chorus] Now come on, if you've been divorced more than twice And you wanna give advice 'bout my love life, oh no You can just forget that, I don't need that So you can just go ahead and keep that And if you always lookin' a mess But yet you wanna tell me how to dress, oh no I don't wanna hear that, I won't take that So you can just go ahead and save that [Chorus] At least if you were gonna try and give advice About my life Have your own shit right Cause you ain't even livin' what you preach to me So please, how you gonna tell me At least if you were gonna try and give advice About my life Have your own shit right Cause you ain't even livin' what you preach to me So please, how you gonna tell me [Bridge] You bout to lose your house and your ride too Cause you don't handle business like you should do But you know how to fix my thang (My thang) You dropped out of school in 11th grade Strippin' every day just so you could get paid But you know how to fix my thang How you gonna tell me yeah Whoa [Chorus] At least if you were gonna try and give advice (Give advice) About my life Have your own shit right Cause you ain't even livin' what you preach to me So please, how you gonna tell me At least if you were gonna try and give advice About my life Have your own shit right Cause you ain't even livin' what you preach to me So please, how you gonna tell me At least if you were gonna try and give advice About my life Have your own shit right Cause you ain't even livin' what you preach to me So please, how you gonna tell me At least if you were gonna try and give advice About my life Have your own shit right Cause you ain't even livin' what you preach to me So please, how you gonna tell me [Outro] But if you wanna give advice Give advice about my life Make sure that your shit is tight How you gonna tell me But if you wanna give advice Give advice about my life Make sure that your shit is tight
