Hold up, yeah

Ooo, ooo, somebody done told you wrong

Thought it wasn′t gone gone end off like that there huh?Hot, too hot, too hot

Too motherfucking hot

Hot motherfucking tub

Give me a back rub

Oh I ain't mean to say bitch, I′m sorry, I apologize

I'm sorry, I take that back I ain't gone call you no bitch no more, okay?

OK, I started out alone

Cause my baby mama left me

Now there′s nobody at home

Beginning to feel like Mrs. Jackson done got cloned

Well it′s some real shit and I'm living it through this song

A moving vehicle took my family

As I slept out on the sofa in the Boom Boom Room

I woke up very upset!

I throw the covers back and peek out of the draperies

My daughter, my baby, my baby mama all escaping me

Like a - in the wind, she was my friend

Like Princess D. before she died

Therefore we tried and tried again

But in the end you pay attention to the pluses

But the minuses behind make it seem like you can′t win

Throw your neck out, throw your back out

Throw your neck out, throw your back out

Throw your neck out, throw your back out

Throw your neck out, throw your back out

Round two, a single parent, what is Big to do?

Throw a party? Not hardly, I'm tryin to stay up outta that womb

Or that p-u-s-s uss! I said uss

Luther Vandross couldn′t make a home out of this house that we smooshed

Smashed, pushed to the limit! Smash and turned it timid

And everyone was suffering, the house was feeling wicked

The cat got sold, the dog got old, the food got cold

Both of our tempers were on swole

For the most part you fuss, fight, fart

You build it up to break it down and now take it from the start

Repeatedly leading a path that only ends in a clash

Of two stubborn minds, grown folks blind to the sign

Throw your neck out, throw your back out

Throw your neck out, throw your back out

Throw your neck out, throw your back out

Throw your neck out, throw your back out

K-O, knocked out by technicality

The love has kissed the canvas

Now the whole family is mad at me

My daughter don't want me at her PTA meetings

And then my son he can′t talk, when I change him he's peeing

I think he's pissed

I can′t dismiss the matter of the fact because he saw you and me argue

Now the energy is coming back

Set an example, a positive pattern, keep life on track

But I′m married to the music and committed to the wax

Tapes, CDs

Baby please, you make me wanna scream

You're on my team starting first string so why are we arguing?

Tapes, CDs

Baby please, you make me wanna scream

You′re on my team starting first string so why are we arguing?

Throw your fucking neck out, throw your back out

Throw your neck out, throw your back out

Throw your neck out, throw your back out

Throw your neck out, throw your back out

Tapes, CDs

Baby please, you make me wanna scream

You're on my team starting first string so why are we arguing?

Tapes, CDs

Baby please, you make me wanna scream

You′re on my team starting first string so why are we arguing?

Throw your fucking neck out, throw your back out

Throw your neck out, throw your back out

Throw your neck out, throw your back out

Throw your neck out, throw your back out
