You know I used to be a player, fly girl layer and a heartbreaker,
Lovemaker, backbreaker but then I made a
Mistake yes I fell in love with this ill chick
Sweatin` me for money, my name and the dilsnick
My homeboys told me to drop her for it would be to my benefit
She used to say I`d better quit hanging with those derelects
Romancing is my thing but I can`t swing with no scheming hoes
Wherever my beema goes you know that I`m driving
Surviving in the 90`s is a must so I trust
That everyone listen up as my vocals give thrust
I bust my rhymes first never chasing a skirt
Do much work while other suckas need more time to rehearse
Now back to the ex-girls, ex-lovers, ex-friends
It made me mad to find that she was only after my ends
She phones me and goes on about her new life now
I wish she knew right now
I think she`s busted let`s discuss it
When I was with her no trust, just fights
Just the he-say-she-say and the neighborhood highlights
Bow I got my new girl or as I say my baby doll
But I`m still gettin` crazy calls, my ex-girl`s got balls
Don`t want to play the field 'cause I get lovin` at home base
Don`t gimme no long face just exit with a grace
You and I are the past, c`est la vie, much respect girl
But now you`re my ex-girl 'cause I`m on with the next girl

[Chorus]

She had much loot liked to buy me fresh-dipped gear
Liked to have me near 'cause of my svoir faire
The time we shared was brief 'cause I needed relief
From her high-classed antics and all her conceit
Now she`s crying wolf and I like don`t want to hear that
I told her the bear facts when things started out
She wines and she pouts about how I did her bad
Yo but she`d tried to buy me
Even tempt me with the hiney
I fell for a sec 'cause the clothes were real fly
I could almost feel I
Would give into her whims
Her thoughts were erratic, sporadic, crazy in nature
I told her hey look I can no longer date ya
Tried to pimp with bank and fell short, your ship sank
Many thanks for the time and the watch and the link
You and I are the past, c`est la vie, nuff respect girl
But now you`re my ex-girl 'cause I`m straight with the next girl

[Chorus]

You saw my mom in the supermarket and gave her your number
You asked how`s my sister then asked how`s my brother
Didn`t ask about my father 'cause you know he ain`t like ya
Every time I left for your crib yo he`d really get hyper
The advice he used to give me makes much sense now
I can`t believe I used to let you break my confidence down
You used to ask me why the hell did I want to live in Brooklyn?
You messed up my flow although you were good-lookin`
Yes darlin` was fly and this was the problem
'cause back in the day she had me scheming and robbin`
To get her things to wear so when she went to the club
All eyes were on her and me I just bugged
Caught in between felling proud and feeling more like a sucker
Had to go undercover, get away, find another
Been in Brooklyn 9 years and been around the world too
I`ve seen so many fly girls and I knew just what to do
I went from ex-girl to next took my time with each one
And you know they still love me so stop jellin` me hon
went home to see mom and I saw you at the bus stop
Must I stop? nah I think not
You and I are the past c`est la vie, much respect girl
But now you`re my ex-girl & I`m out with the next girl
Out...

[Chorus]
