[cut x4] "Here we go, so pay attention to the teacher"
[Lord Finesse] Y'all sweatin the next man, cause y'all think he's live Cause the gear he buy, or the car that he drive He's out your league, meanin not your equal You're idolizin some knucklehead who can't teach you So get yours like you first intended Go out for self, that means be independent Word up, stop sweatin that brother I don't think he got his dependin on another But y'all wanna cling and be under his wing Brag about his things like his chains and rings How he's livin fat, buyin this and that Y'all wit him everday, but y'all ain't makin jack Y'all gettin played like Nintendo He's not showin y'all how to be large like him though You could be PAID, strivin out, gettin things Hangin with him, you can't afford two chicken wings You're better off goin out solo Cause stickin with him, you're not makin no dough So stop hawkin and holdin out your hand Get yours -- and stop sweatin the next man

[Lord Finesse] Nowadays, things are lookin critical Y'all sweatin a brother, females are widdit too A man that's paid, that's what the females are seekin That's why they dress up and go out every weekend No doubt that some of these, females are wannabees Sweatin every brother with a car over 20 G's You break your neck, to run after him He know damn well that you can't do jack for him He got game, so your head is all psyched He's the type, to get the sex the first night So you get with him, you run and tell all your crew "I love that man!" Yeah, sure you do Your intentions was to jerk him and scoop the cash You didn't know he was too smart for your stupid ass He knows you're not makin no dough Wearin the same outfit three weekends in a row Everytime you see him, you're broke and empty handed Then wonder why you got fucked and left stranded Went all out to please and impress him Now he's gone, you wonder why you can't catch him Check it out, to end off the segment You're confused, you fell off - plus you're pregnant! Got caught out there, that wasn't part of the plan "Finesse what should I do?" Stop sweatin the next man

[Lord Finesse] If a person's out your league, then let him go He might be cool, but you don't have to sweat him though I don't care if he's drivin, or he dressed GQ You deserve just as much respect, as he do What you wanna be - a loaner or a borrower? Owner or employer? Leader or a follower? The next man is not here to help y'all He can't put you down, you can only make yourself fall But y'all sweat him cause the shit is down pat He's livin fat, yeah the brother's all that Out of all the fish in the sea, y'all think he's the head shark Y'all sweat him so much, y'all givin his dick stretch marks So don't sweat him cause y'all think he's a big shot And stop scheamin on what some other kid got You could use your skills to gain wealth and respect then you could be just as large as the next man Listen to me - and I'll bet you when you get paid, the next man'll sweat you That's today's plan, and tomorrow's move is to get paid, and make other brothers follow you And let em know, to take they stand and get theirs - and stop sweatin the next man!
