Hey yo, you You see most cats would take advantage of you right now But I ain't gon' do that, you heard I'm a give you the game, right I'm a give it to you because I don't want somebody to give my little girl the game So she could find her S.E.X. Life's a trip Heard you just turned seventeen and finally got some hips Hustlers on the block go crazy when you lick your lips But they just want relations, they don't want relationships (Welcome to the real world) It ain't the same Fellas old enough to be your daddy know your name Everybody's talkin' 'bout how much that girl done changed Can't quite put your finger on it, but you feel it's strange Like it's fire in your veins Girl, it's just your S.E.X. Mama's secret And daddy gon' go crazy when he finds out that his baby's found her S.E.X., take a deep breath And think before you let it go The block is packed Baby got an attitude and proud to holla back Mama's giving advice, but she ain't tryin' to hear that Not because it's wrong, just her delivery is whack (Shay, get your butt in this house, if I see you with another boy, I swear...) Life is rough You say that you're not ready for sex, but you're in love He says if you really loved him, you would give it up Mama says that's just a line guys use to get your stuff Which one will you trust? Girl, it's just your S.E.X. Mama's secret And daddy gon' go crazy when he finds out that his baby's found her S.E.X., take a deep breath And think before you let it go Hey yo, Lyfe She might take it better coming from a woman (Get 'em, girl) See, he'll tell you all kind of things to get in your pants, yeah Baby, it's a fact that once it's gone, you'll never get it back (never get it back) Hold on to your innocence Use your common sense (you're worth waiting for) Be strong Honey, don't give in, blessings come with patience Till we meet again, I'm praying for you Girl, it's just your S.E.X. Mama's secret And daddy gon' go crazy when he finds out that his baby's found her S.E.X., take a deep breath And think before you let it go Girl, it's just your S.E.X. Mama's secret And daddy gon' go crazy when he finds out that his baby's found her S.E.X., take a deep breath And think before you let it go
