It's a New Day, Pts. 1 & 2
Fellas, things done got too far gone
We got to let the girls know what they got to do for us
It's done got to be a drag, man, a man can't do nothin' no more
It's really a drag
You got to do somethin'
Can I tell 'em?
Let me on
Girl, let me tell you what you got to do
T.C.B. so mellow, 'til nobody can get through
When he asks you do you love him, smilin' and kiss his cheek
Walk away and twist your hip, make sure you keep him weak
Don't let nobody take care your business better than you do
Do what he wants, give what he wants, respect will come to you
And than you can hold your man, you can hold your man
You can hold your man, you can hold, hey
Never get so confident so it's nothin' you want to know
Because that's the time you lose your thing, and then you got to blow
You know what we got, you tell him, to take his feet off the table
Use your thing so carefully and don't be a total loss
Sister, when you love your man, be careful how you tell him that
He will put you back in a corner, and use you like a Sunday hat
You can hold your man, you can hold your man
You can hold your man, you can hold, hey
Hit it
Good God, get it
Hit me now
Good God
Never get too confident so it's nothin' you want to know
Because that's the time you lose your thing, then you got to blow
You know I got what it takes to be the untold boss
You gotta use it carefully and you can't be a total
Hit me now
Good God, hit it
Yeah
Good God
Fellas, can I get some help?
