[Intro - Rap]
Uh, uh uh, what?
I know it's not too ghetto
I know it's not too ghetto
I said I know it's not too ghetto
You better check yourself
Respect yourself
You better go for self
Because I flow for self

[Faith]
I'll tell you why there's no love
Simply you're not cool enough
For what we had between us
Don't you know you lost my trust?
People ask me where you've been
And I tell them we're just friends
'Cause it's so obvious
That it's never gonna work for us

Played with my emotions
You gets no devotion
And you gets no love, gets no love
You can get no love from me
You can't even be my friend
And you gets no love again
Whatever you do it 
Will come back to you

I'll tell you why we can't hook up
'Cause I had about enough
Of hearing all the lies you tell
Boy I thought I knew you well

People think that you're my man
They don't even understand
Just because I let's you get love
Don't make you the one
We ain't even in love
You know that you played

Played with my emotions
You gets no devotion
And you gets no love, gets no love
You can get no love from me
You can't even be my friend
And you gets no love again
Whatever you do it 
Will come back to you

[Rap]
You better rock my shit
Don't knock my shit
Because I got that shit
To make you cop my shit 
You better rock my shit
Don't knock my shit
Because I got that shit
That make you cop my shit 
I'm the diva with clout
Everybody rap about
Check it out rhymes I' bust 'em
Problems with my life don't discuss 'em

Played with my emotions
You gets no devotion
And you gets no love, gets no love
You can get no love from me
You can't even be my friend
And you gets no love again
Whatever you do it 
Will come back to you
