Verse one
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
sweatinand' 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 iand'd better quit hanging with those derelects
romancing is my thing but i canand't swing with no scheming hoes
wherever my beema goes you know that iand'm driving
surviving in the 90and'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 sheand's busted letand'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 iand'm still gettinand' crazy calls, my ex-girland's got balls
donand't wanna play the field cuz i get lovinand' at home base
donand't gimme no long face just exit with a grace
you and i are the past, cand'est la vie, much respect girl
but now youand're my ex-girl cuz iand'm on with the next girl
chorus

verse two
she had much loot liked to buy me fresh-dipped gear
liked to have me near cuz of my svoir faire
the time we shared was brief cuz i needed relief
from her high-classed antics and all her conceit
now sheand's crying wolf and i like donand't wanna 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 sheand'd tried to buy me
even tempt me with the hiney
i fell for a sec cuz 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, cand'est la vie, nuff respect girl
but now youand're my ex-girl cuz iand'm straight with the next girl
chorus
verse three
you saw my mom in the supermarket and gave her your number
you asked howand's my sister then asked howand's my brother
didnand't ask about my father cuz you know he ainand't like ya
every time i left for your crib yo heand'd really get hyper
the advice he used to give me makes much sense now
i canand't believe i used to let you break my confidence down
you used to ask me why the hell did i wanna live in brooklyn?
you messed up my flow although you were good-lookinand'
yes darlinand' was fly and this was the problem
cuz back in the day she had me scheming and robbinand'
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
iand'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 jellinand' 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 cand'est la vie, much respect girl
but now youand're my ex-girl and iand'm out with the next girl
out...
chorus
