Chorus:
Gm               Am           Gm
I never wanted you to be my man
                 Fmaj7
I just need your company
Gm                          Am
Don't want to get dependent on
                Gm              Fmaj7
Your time then lose the way you love me
Gm          A#m           F
Like smoke, I hung around in the unbalanced
Gm    A#m
Woah, ohhh!
F
Woah

           Gm
It's not a movie, this is not a script or proofread
               Am
I'll spit some untruths to dumb fools and groupies
        Gm
Fun to punctuate, pronunciate the funds I make, amounts I take
            Fmaj7
Put in your face, oh my mistake, you're not a floosy? Then excuse me
Gm
Before I talk, my style introduced me
          Am
Get your name and phone number like 1-2-3
                Gm
Y'all know the story, y'all know the commentary
           Fmaj7
I kick the narrative, this is legendary
            Gm
The good Samaritan, hood thespian Like a polygamist
A#m
with a twist, Will I marry again? Maybe, I guess
F
I hold a lady's interest, I just met
The love scholar, she the teacher's pet
                   Gm
Every other eve we meet and make each other sweat
                       A#m
I feel triumphant, no strings, just a fling to have fun with
             Am
I be out in London, Camden, huntin' for the answers
        Dm
Why did God take away the homie? I can't stand it
       Gm
I'm a firm believer that we all meet up in eternity
C
Just hope the big man show me some courtesy
Am
Why? 'Cause I'm deemed a heart breaker
      Dm
Like smoke, girls lean 'round a player, yayuh

Chorus:
I never wanted you to be my man
I just needed company
Don't want to get dependent on
Your time or who you spend it on
I lose it when you love me
Like smoke, I hang around in the unbalanced
Woah, ohh

Yo, this recession is a test
It’s affectin' my complexion
Misdirectin' my affection
My concerns of bill collections
The facts is the taxes, they after me
Chapter three, my property
My handlers, they dealt with me improperly
I say some things I should probably keep privately
Evaluate the world bank trusts like I’m IEG
There's fly suites and my bourgeoisie
Tall freak, she wouldn’t protest with me at Wall Street
She says, "No, you’re so deep"
I said, "No, let’s go through it"
Historically so ruthless, Feds came for Joe Louis
She said, "My man, you need to laugh sometimes"
Classifies me as a bore, I told her have some wine
You colder than penguin pussy, in her dismay
She’s thinkin’ that’s just so silly to say
But if you really think about it, hussy
See, a penguin, he drags his ass on the ground all day
And it’s a dragon, it’s a bastard you’re in tune with, just lust
I’m through with you after I crush
So is that humorous enough?
The smoke I puff
Tell the car to go to Aura, Funky Buddah, Whisky Mist on Mayfair
I hope I meet some Monie Love so she can show me love
NYC to UK, I might stay there
Everybody in the club tonight say, “Yeah”
You know how me and Amy are, straight players

Ohh, ohh, ohh, ohh

Chorus:
I never wanted you to be my man
I just needed company
Don't want to get dependent on
Your time or who you spend it on
I lose it when you love me
Like smoke, I hung around in the unbalanced
Woah, ohh

Ohh, ohh, ohh, ohh
