Alright alright alright
Y'all settle down settle down settle down.

If you don't know where you are
This is statistics 101
And I'm your teacher
Lyfe Jennings in the flesh baby.

Books out.
Let's go!

Twenty five percent of all men are unstable
Twenty five percent of all men can't be faithful
Twenty percent of them don't mean what they say
And ten percent of the remaining twenty is gay

That leaves you a ten percent chance of ever finding your mate
That means you better pay attention to these words that I say
I'm gonna teach you how expose the ninety percent
And show you what to do to keep the other ten.

Rule number one
Don't be a booty call
If he don't respect you girl he gon' forget you girl

Rule number two
If he's in a relationship
If he will cheat on her that means he will cheat on you

Rule number three
Tell him that you're celibate
And if he wants some of your goodies he gon' have to work for it

Rule number four
Be the person you wanna find
Don't be a nickel out here lookin' for a dime

Statistics!

Fifteen percent of all men got a complex
Fifteen percent of all men don't practice safe sex
Twenty percent of them come from homes without a father
And there's a fifty-fifty chance that you'll marry a coward

Something to think about when you're taking a shower
Something to swallow when you're drinking bottled water

I'm gonna teach you how to expose the 90 percent
And show you what to do to keep the other 10

Twenty five percent of all men are unstable
Twenty five percent of all men can't be faithful
Twenty percent of them don't mean what they say
And ten percent of the remaining twenty is gay

Be patient! he's waiting!
You don't gotta settle for that
Leave what is past alone!
Get you a backbone!
Stop being (sorry for) yourself!

Have you no checklist?
It's gonna take patience
Time is still wastin'

Hey

Don't be a booty call (don't be)
If he don't respect you girl he gon' forget you girl

If he's in a relationship (relationship)
If he will cheat on her that means he will cheat on you

Tell him that you're celibate
And if he wants some of your goodies he gon' have to work for it.

(Rule number 4)
Be the person you wanna find
Don't be a nickel out here lookin' for a dime.

Statistics!
