	作词 : Cadet, Pritchard
	I like how, when you turn the intercom up
	Like all that little background noise
	When the beat comes in
	That's real smooth man
	**** studios, just happen to be here
	Aight, whatever
	[J-Live]
	Yo,
	He woke up in a daze, back achin'
	Breath smellin' like liquor, dick smellin' like sex
	Head throbbin' like the bass from the club last night
	No idea how he left, needless to say, perplexed
	As he looked around the room that he never been in
	Candles all around the bed, sheets quite feminine
	Bucked naked with his kicks on
	Breakaway jeans, drawers and sweater were all on the bedroom floor
	He heard singin' from the shower from the bathroom door
	Sounded like Melvin Moore but he couldn't be sure
	She had a sexy ass voice but she was so off-key
	Couldn't 'member how she looked, couldn't wait to see
	Hopin' that it was the girl, third floor of the club
	The one that let him grab her ass when they twisted the dub
	Or perhaps it was the dime from the guest list line
	Either one and several others would've suited him fine
	From the bed to the bathroom, a voice said "come in"
	Gradually now, he starts to remember
	Peeped through the shower curtain, like bachelor number three
	Pleasantly surprised to see that it was the bartender
	And 'tender was the operative word
	She had a body like a cello with legs, I mean, the ass was absurd
	Long neck, smooth skin, pretty face, kooky nipples
	Eyes wider than hips, full lips between dimples
	She said "how did you sleep?" He said he didn't know
	She asked "was it good for you too?" "I think so
	But I really can't remember what went down last night"
	She told him "take off your shoes, we can replay the highlights"
	Stepped out the shower in a daze, legs achin'
	Breath short from the eff, dick wrapped in a hat
	Wide open cuz it was the last from a twelve-pack
	Spit four in the shower till his tire went flat
	She thought he was all that
	She said "I don't have to work today
	Take a little nap so we can do it again"
	No sooner than she said it, keys jingled, door slammed
	He said "please baby, please don't let it be your boyfriend
	For the love of basketball, Mademoiselle, look
	I ain't Biggie Smalls, I don't even want a story to tell
	I'm a lover, not a fighter, alright"
	But then a girl walked in
	Saw him naked and said "What the hell?!"
	Time stood still as he thought to himself,
	"This reminds me of a beer commercial back in the day"
	She's too young to be her mother, so he asked, "How you doin'?
	Would you care to join in?" She said, "nigga is you crazy?
	See this ring on my finger? That's my wife you was ****in'
	My name ain't Ronald ???, don't try to play me out"
	She reached in her purse for the little pearl handle
	He splashed her in the face with the wax from the candle
	The 'tender ran back into the bathroom, screamin'
	Slipped on the condom wrapper, broke her pretty little neck
	The burnt-face wife pulled a gun on the dude
	Famous last words: "I ain't mean you no disrespect!"
	[Talking]
	Wow! That was crazy
	Yo J, that was cool and all (uh huh)
	But what's up with the violent ending, man?
	Is it possible for it to end a little more pleasant?
	[Chorus]
	What if the story woulda ended like this?
	I'ma kick it again but only with a slight twist
	It goes one for the griot
	Two for da gods
	Three to flip the script, cuz it ain't that hard
	Check it out
	Time stood still as he thought to himself,
	"This reminds me of a beer commercial back in the day"
	She's too young to be her mother; "Would you care to join in?"
	She was butt naked under her coat, he was amazed
	At the second wind kickin' in, thinkin' 'bout the fact
	That he almost didn't go to the club, woulda been wack
	If he missed out on the greatest love of his life
	Imagine if he stayed home with his wife
	Cuz girl two, yo her body made the 'tender look like a fender bender
	The three of them together turned the bed to a blender
	He left like five hours later with a permanent tease
	And feels he will ever remember
	[Talking]
	C'mon J,
	There's no way my man got laid quite like that
	It just don't happen
	It's like a porno or somethin'
	And what about his wife?
	She didn't even say nothin'?
	She didn't page him?
	[Chorus]
	Time stood still as he thought to himself,
	"This reminds me of a beer commercial back in the day"
	She's too young to be her mother, so he asked, "How you doin'?"
	She said "Eww! It smells like somebody been screwin'!
	I hope it wasn't y'all" then she started laughin'
	He said "What's so funny?" She said "You don't know the half!"
	She was starin' at the joint with a ****ed-up smile
	She said "I can come back if you gon' be here for a while
	But between me and you, and my roommate too
	What I'm 'bout to say might just be a little snafu
	In your plans! Put it like this, she used to be a dude!"
	(Yeah, how's that for a plot twist)
	He asked the 'tender was it true
	She said "Shit, I told you last night, my man. I thought you knew!"
	[Talking]
	Ewww, shit! (Hahaha)
	For real? (Yeah, man)
	Uh uh, man you're sick (Hahaha)
	For real? You got dat homie, I'm out
