Play The Next Man

EPMD

(Erick Sermon)



What's up wit that homegirl why you frontin



My raggamuffin c'mon help me wit somethin



You like me I can tell by your wicked actions



I wanna rock wit you like Michael Jackson



(coughing) Erick what slow down baby



You're not Seal so why you actin Crazy



I wanna be your man the whole nine sounds cute



Us buggin out and us knockin boots



But you you wanna go out and start cheatin



Hangin Tough like the New Kids every damn weekend



Thinkin I'm stupid, girl, you must be buggin



The boy you messin wit is my cousin



Tryin to play the E-Double wit the old weak flim flam



Don't play me and reach out for the next man



(Chorus)



Don't play me, play the next man (4X)



(PMD)



I was wonderin why you went to work everyday



OK, yea, maybe to get extra pay



But when you stepped out, you was dressed to impress



(How fresh) so fresh, that you walked wit finesse



Word is bond, I could've sworn you was minglin



The way you was movin, the way your earrings was jinglin



Of course, you was messin wit the Boss



Not Bruce Springsteen, your boss drove a Porsche



Remember, you went to work one night



While me and D-Wade was home watchin the Mike Tyson fight



You said goodbye, gave me a couple of kisses



I peep the coat I didn't buy you for Christmas



You went out to a fancy restaurant



Came in actin all nonchalant



Asked you a question, shook up like Elvis Presley



Your makeup smudged, your hair messy



Shh, quiet, I caught cha



Tell him my name is Parrish Smith, I used to mess wit his daughter



Yes the Mic Doc and I'll be damned



Don't play me, play the next man



Chorus
