Uh, why'know, uh, Boogie Brown, uh
 How you expect me to love you, n****
 Can't even trust you, uh

 So he played you, right?
 Shot a little game then he blazed you, right?
 Talkin' 'bout he was gon' make you wife then make you right
 And the last you seen was his car break lights

 He fooled you girl, p**** is power, let me school you girl
 Don't get up off it 'till he move you girl
 And let no playin' n**** rule your world and screw you girl

 I got 'em hatin' me, I throws the p**** down, keep 'em chasin' me
 Basically, n****s game a lot, so bet I game back
 And make the n**** think that I came a lot
 And I change the plot, when we was at Jacob
 That chain was hot, is he on or what?
 N**** cop the broach in the double are
 And you got the notes, so I know you not broke, n****
 [Chorus]
 (I ain't f***in' wit' you)
 I can't rock with you no more
 (You and your bulls***)
 (How can I love you)
 (Can't even trust you)

 (I ain't f***in' wit' you)
 I can't rock with you no more
 (Cut the bulls***)
 (How can I love you
 (Can't even trust you)

 I got 'em mad at Fox, 'fore I let a n**** just stab the box
 I gotta have some rocks, even then
 All I do is get they a**es hot, then I ask them
 When was the last time you had some twat?
 Put 'em right in his place, saw him right down
 Shake it right in his face, you like the waist?
 By the way baby boy, would you like a taste?

 Let me tell you what I need on those license plates
 "Property of Mohogany Brown", standin' knock-kneed
 On the balcony while you knock me down
 Ya'll want to break me off without cakin' me off?
 Then expect the b**** to be faithfull to why'alls
 The next n**** copin' me bags straight from Dior
 Prada shoes, that's the bomb straight outta Milan
 And I'm about that money, no need to pretend
 Why don't you holla at me when you ready to spend

 [Chorus] 

 You got as much, you game's why'all
 And I can spit it n****, same as why'alls, same shoes, same cars
 Ain't like a chick ain't bawlin' herself
 Can you give me mo', then I'm holding myself
 I ain't tryin' to trip on no dick
 I ain't tryin' to have no cat laid up in my s***
 Had the next b**** laid up in my six?
 Gigglin', dizzy as s***, is it sick?

 I'm what a n**** would love to have
 Chick with her own, nice tits, nice a**
 Nice attitude even though I might spaz
 He was still quite fast, you like the wife style
 'cause you know that I come out ready to dumb out
 In house shoes, slippers, put it down for my n****s
 And I ain't goin' front, I'm about my end, so
 Holla at me when you ready to spend

 [Chorus: x2]

 I can't rock you, no more
 Say it again, say it again

 I can't rock you, no more
 Say it again, say it again
 say it again, say it again

 I can't rock you, no more
 I can't rock you, no more
 Say it again, say it again
 say it again, say it again

 I can't rock with you no more
 Say it again, say it again
 I can't rock with you no more
 Say it again, say it again
 I can't rock with you no more
