  • I don't wanna be a part of this same struggle no longer
    Baby comes knocking on my door, I hide behind the sofa
    I remember ten years younger I didn't have a problem
    I wish I could get her again
    I wish that we could've stayed friends

    Why do you wanna stay friends?
    I really don't mean no offense, oh no
    She'd leave you with you other chance if you did pick her up in your pants, oh no
    Would she hold you down, I think no, sir
    A gold digger, I already told ya
    Different kinds, they're just part of a culture
    So why you keep getting involved her?

    Why I gotta get involved?
    Keep getting involved
    Getting involved with those games
    Why I gotta get involved?
    Keep getting involved
    Getting involved

    Why'd you get involved?
    Getting involved
    Why'd you get involved?
    Getting involved

    Lately it seems wherever I go, the trouble will follow
    Now every night I'm locking my doors and closing my windows
    I remember ten years younger there's no problems
    I wish I could get her again (yeah)
    I wish that we could've stayed friends

    I ain't like your other friends, I ain't sittin' on a fence (oh no)
    Too blind to see what she doing
    But I can see through her pretence, oh no
    So brother come home, don't be foolish
    I'm your boy, I not gonna let you do this
    I know you understand what the truth is
    Just brush this chick off, let her hand in a notice

    Why I gotta get involved?
    Keep getting involved
    Getting involved with those games
    Why I gotta get involved?
    Keep getting involved
    Getting involved

    Why'd you get involved?
    Getting involved
    Why'd you get involved?
    Getting involved

    Maybe he was right, maybe I was wrong
    Maybe I've been far too close to see what's going on
    That don't change the situation
    You don't need no education
    Sittin' there procrastinatin'
    I be off, I'll see you later

    Why I gotta get involved?
    Keep getting involved
    Getting involved with those games
    Why I gotta get involved?
    Keep getting involved
    Getting involved
    Why I gotta get involved?
    Keep getting involved
    Getting involved with those games
    Why I gotta get involved?
    Keep getting involved
