I'm trying to man up see what's really
good with you
Gentleman's approach,
not bring it hood to you
Same things that you hear everyday like
"Hey ma, hey boo,
baby what's your name"
Please pull up a seat,
I'm so glad you came
My mother call me Thomas
you can do the same
Damn its so refreshing when
you calling out my name
Been Pooh for so long it doesn't
sound the same
My occupation rap and I make a little change
I see you not impressed with
what this life brings
Finished school, got a job,
girl do your thing
It's a lot of independent women
wanna be claimed
Marry into money or marry into fame,
or at least give birth to a check
With all due respect lets two-
step in the name of like
Who says we gotta do the waltz all day
and all night, it's like
We can go to the movies
I'll take you to the park and promise to have
you home before the lights go out
Steady asking you questions
what your life about
Oh and me,
mine's everything I scribe about
No doubt this my life and
Dedicated to this witting
sacrificing everything for it
Wasted time I can't afford
So if it ain't you then you
know
I'm cooped up to the record..
I'll scoop
you up in me
Porshe, sike
You know I got a Nissan
That I'm still paying for, still got a lease on
But it don't matter 'cause
that ain't my aim to get you
I got fame, but you know that
just ain't the issue
Because you're looking
like a woman of virtue
So well- rounded,
no wonder your're in my circle
And normally you probably wouldn't
give me the time of day
'Cause Tay got rhymes,
but no he ain't got time to waste
[Chorus]
Sometimes I think I'm from another
world (preach)
When I'm trynna tell a woman just
exactly where I stand that (aight)
I want a girl, when I want a girl
And when I don't want a girl,
I want a girl who understands that
And that's some hard shit to explain
To a woman that's in love with
you, it's a pitiful thing
Until I had to figure
That I don't wanna play around,
but I don't wanna settle down
And that's a man's dilemma,
'cause every man remembers
How his daddy and his uncles
did it
'Cause more than likely that's
the way they're gonna do it
I know it sound fucked up
and most won't admit it
But yo, I gotta face it 'cause I know
I'm living through it
'Cause when the party stops
and niggas get old
And the chain and the cars and the houses get sold,
and that
Other side of the bed gets cold,
you don't wanna be alone
So girl I'm trynna hold you
[Chorus]
Oh baby (Take it slow, take it slow,
take it slow, take it slow)
What you need to do is
Take it slow with me
Slow it down a little bit (Take it slow, take it slow,
take it slow, take it slow)
We don't have to rush into
anything serious
(Take it slow, take it slow, take it slow,
take it slow)
No we don't, take it from me (Take it slow,
take it slow, take it slow, take it slow)
My name is Percy and I make miracles if you
take it slow with me baby
(Take it slow, take it slow,
take it slow, take it slow)
