The Night He Got Caught

Lyrics

Sittin in my canvas in the corner of my room
 12: 45 as the radio booms
 Call you on your cell but it's just a bad line
 It's a full moon so I'm bout to howl
 Thinkin for a slight, "Is my girl on the prowl?"
 Naw, I guess she wouldn't violate us
 Plus hittin' gets for real and she doesn't like to fuss
 Callin up the shorty that I met four weeks
 On the street, lookin sweet, and I was about to eat
 Conscious of my lady but we was on the outs
 Had mad love but I had mad doubts
 On the phone talkin, gettin on my swerve
 But thinkin bout my lady, guess I had some nerve
 We was still dreamin and I had a little shot
 Cause I didn't even hear it when the door unlocked
 "Damn, where the hell was you at?
 Damn, why you comin in late?
 Damn, where the hell was you at?
 Damn, where the hell was you at?
 Damn, why you comin in late?
 Damn, where the hell was you at?
 Damn, why you comin in late?"
 Now she standin over me, I said "I gotta go"
 Turned around quick but I hung it up slow
 "What's the deal, love, what's goin on?
 I see it in ya face, just tell me what's wrong"
 "Mm, nothin, I think we need to speak"
 "Mm, okay, well, just have a seat"
 She wears a frown, she lookin 'round
 Sweat comin down and she doesn't make a sound
 Tappin on the table growin impatient
 I'm gettin up and now I start pacing
 She says "Alright!" as she starts to conversate
 "I'ma do what you do" then I say "Elaborate"
 "Well you got that girl on the side
 What if I had a guy then, too?
 Would your heart be broken, boy?
 I'd wonder what you do"
 "Are you tellin me you got a dude
 Who's lovin you better than me?"
 "No, but I caught ya ass
 So I guess I'm settin you free"
 "Yeah, whatever" as a standin pride
 "Me and her is only friends though, we never end, yo
 We're gonna still tie intimate ends, yo
 I think so, my shit is on lock, ho"
 "Word? That's how it's goin?
 Well I guess it was really good knowin"
 "I'ma still just keep in contact"
 "Oh, no, there's no need for that"
