Tekst piosenki
(ES): Michelle, why you gotta tell Mickey everything about us?
(Michelle): Cause I needed somebody to talk to
(ES): But you're trying to make it seem like I started it all
(Michelle): I just told her the story the way it went
(ES): Michelle
(Michelle): What?
(ES): Look. Since you seem to be forgetting, I'm a tell you the story
From the beginning. Aiight?
(Michelle): Umm hmmm
Cruising down the Ave with my homeboy Boove
Laying back like jack, mellowing to the groove
The "Greatest Man Alive" was cold rocking my world
Then I rocked a little harder when I saw this fresh, fly girl
A hold up. I can't go out like a nut
I had to conjure out a cool way to strut
They call me E.S., the overlord of fresh
I saw you in the dress, and I just had to impress
My compliment, came through in a clutch
She started to blush. Then I knew what was up
Called her next morning. Said, "What'll it be?
Dinner and a movie or just chillin' with me?"
She said, "Me." So I went and got the slimy
But as soon as I opened the door she said, "Gimme!"
It was like I was a bone, and she was fetching
She gobbled, cold swallowed my one's like Greedy Gretchin
Then after a couple of weeks of good loving my friends
She did the dummy move, and started asking for my dividends
(Chorus)
(DJ Wood scratches): Rah rah, rah rah rah
(Verse2)
Come around the corner looking funki fresh
This new jack babe started popin' a mess
Steady trip, cause I didn't call her last night
I kindly pulled her to the side n' said, "Yo, take a hike
Cause I don't need it girl. Too many problems in this world
So go on ahead with your jheri curl
She wanted Jefferson's and Lincoln's
I said, "No way! Yo Slim, what do you think this is? President's Day?
People start buggin' over things like that honey
You know the time! So don't act funny with my money
I refuse to abuse my savings and loans
So if you want some ends baby, you best go with your own
Now I said it once before, and I'm a say it again: Best believe you
Won't receive no dividends."
(Interlude)
(ES): Michelle, how come every time we argue, it got to be about
Money?
((Michelle): When I was with Steady B, I had it all: Gucci, Louie
Vaton, gold
Liz Claiborne. I had it all. You ain't giving me nothing
(Verse 3)
It's a shame. Nowadays you've got to stay paid
It ain't like the old days, when you could serenade
Take walks with your girl at night in the park
And in the shadow, secretly steal her heart
But the new wave 80's has everything reversible
Instead of walks, you drive a Cadillac Convertible
Two's bound to kill you. All you need is one
To constantly bug you to get her hair done
Every weeks a new style. She's always got to rock it
Like a Super Bowl sack, she's tackling your pockets
But when you want to chill, you find that something always blocks it
You're looking for your wallet, but your girlfriends got it
I tried to put you D [own], cause you was my friend
You didn't listen. Now she's got you for your dividends
(ES's male friend): "You bought another dress? This is ridiculous!
That's the third dress this week!"
(2x: DJ Wood scratches in JFK sample: "The world is very different
Now.")
(Verse 4)
Now I don't like to get upset, and I don't like to riff
But one thing that gets me hype is when girls shoot the gift
Now there's a little saying about the J-O-B
But what she's really trying to do is take your D-O-E
N' wreck your whole check on the latest design
When you're broke, it's all a joke. But when your paid, it's fine
This advice to you I lend. Begin to let it sink, and you can spin
But don't be taking nothing my friend
Now I said it once before, and I'm a say it again:
"Best believe you won't receive no dividends."
Now I said it once before, and I'm a say it again
"Best believe you won't receive no dividends."
(Prologue)
Word. Ya know what I'm saying?
I don't mind giving my girl something-
Or any woman for that matter-ifthey need it
But love shouldn't be used as a personal VISA card on the strength
Cause the same way you're trying to get somebody, you can get got
Workers large still in effect. Ain't that right Wood?
(Wood scratches): "Ye-yeah!...ye-yeah!"
(Michelle): Why you looking at me like that ES?
(ES): Cause man Michelle, if I had known you were going to do me like
This
I would have never stepped to you from the giddy up
(Michelle): Well, if I had known you weren't going to provide for me
I wouldn't have talked to you anyway. Straight up
I thought you was the Greatest Man Alive. But I guess I was wrong
(ES): Psssh. I wonder if my grand pops and pops
Went through things like this back in the day. Cause man, this ain't
Worth it
(JFK sample scratched in: "The world is very different now.")
