Gang Starr - Ex Girl to the Next Girl lyrics

rate me

Verse One

You know I used to be a player, fly girl layer and a heartbreaker,

lovemaker, backbreaker but then I made a

mistake yes I fell in love with this ill chick

sweatin' me for money, my name and the dilsnick

my homeboys told me to drop her for it would be to my benefit

she used to say I'd better quit hanging with those derelects

romancing is my thing but I can't swing with no scheming hoes

wherever my beema goes you know that I'm driving

surviving in the 90's is a must so I trust

that everyone listen up as my vocals give thrust

I bust my rhymes first never chasing a skirt

do much work while other suckas need more time to rehearse

now back to the ex-girls, ex-lovers, ex-friends

it made me mad to find that she was only after my ends

she phones me and goes on about her new life now

I wish she knew right now

I think she's busted let's discuss it

when I was with her no trust, just fights

just the he-say-she-say and the neighborhood highlights

bow I got my new girl or as I say my baby doll

but I'm still gettin' crazy calls, my ex-girl's got balls

don't wanna play the field cuz I get lovin' at home base

don't gimme no long face just exit with a grace

you and I are the past, c'est la vie, much respect girl

but now you're my ex-girl cuz I'm on with the next girl

Chorus

Next

<cuz girls look so good>

Verse Two

she had much loot liked to buy me fresh-dipped gear

liked to have me near cuz of my svoir faire

the time we shared was brief cuz I needed relief

from her high-classed antics and all her conceit

now she's crying wolf and I like don't wanna hear that

I told her the bear facts when things started out

she wines and she pouts about how I did her bad

yo but she'd tried to buy me

even tempt me with the hiney

I fell for a sec cuz the clothes were real fly

I could almost feel I

would give into her whims

her thoughts were erratic, sporadic, crazy in nature

I told her hey look I can no longer date ya

Tried to pimp with bank and fell short, your ship sank

many thanks for the time and the watch and the link

you and I are the past, c'est la vie, nuff respect girl

but now you're my ex-girl cuz I'm straight with the next girl

Chorus

Verse Three

you saw my mom in the supermarket and gave her your number

you asked how's my sister then asked how's my brother

didn't ask about my father cuz you know he ain't like ya

every time I left for your crib yo he'd really get hyper

the advice he used to give me makes much sense now

I can't believe I used to let you break my confidence down

you used to ask me why the hell did I wanna live in Brooklyn?

you messed up my flow although you were good-lookin'

yes darlin' was fly and this was the problem

cuz back in the day she had me scheming and robbin'

to get her things to wear so when she went to the club

all eyes were on her and me I just bugged

caught in between felling proud and feeling more like a sucker

had to go undercover, get away, find another

been in Brooklyn 9 years and been around the world too

I've seen so many fly girls and I knew just what to do

I went from ex-girl to next took my time with each one

and you know they still love me so stop jellin' me hon

went home to see mom and I saw you at the bus stop

must I stop? nah I think not

you and I are the past c'est la vie, much respect girl

but now you're my ex-girl & I'm out with the next girl

out...

Chorus
