  • Alright alright alright
    Y'all settle down settle down settle down.

    If you don't know where you are
    This is statistics 101
    And I'm your teacher
    Lyfe Jennings in the flesh baby.

    Books out.
    Let's go!

    Twenty five percent of all men are unstable
    Twenty five percent of all men can't be faithful
    Twenty percent of them don't mean what they say
    And ten percent of the remaining twenty is gay

    That leaves you a ten percent chance of ever finding your mate
    That means you better pay attention to these words that I say
    I'm gonna teach you how expose the ninety percent
    And show you what to do to keep the other ten.

    Rule number one
    Don't be a booty call
    If he don't respect you girl he gon' forget you girl

    Rule number two
    If he's in a relationship
    If he will cheat on her that means he will cheat on you

    Rule number three
    Tell him that you're celibate
    And if he wants some of your goodies he gon' have to work for it

    Rule number four
    Be the person you wanna find
    Don't be a nickel out here lookin' for a dime

    Statistics!

    Fifteen percent of all men got a complex
    Fifteen percent of all men don't practice safe sex
    Twenty percent of them come from homes without a father
    And there's a fifty-fifty chance that you'll marry a coward

    Something to think about when you're taking a shower
    Something to swallow when you're drinking bottled water

    I'm gonna teach you how to expose the 90 percent
    And show you what to do to keep the other 10

    Twenty five percent of all men are unstable
    Twenty five percent of all men can't be faithful
    Twenty percent of them don't mean what they say
    And ten percent of the remaining twenty is gay

    Be patient! he's waiting!
    You don't gotta settle for that
    Leave what is past alone!
    Get you a backbone!
    Stop being (sorry for) yourself!

    Have you no checklist?
    It's gonna take patience
    Time is still wastin'

    Hey

    Don't be a booty call (don't be)
    If he don't respect you girl he gon' forget you girl

    If he's in a relationship (relationship)
    If he will cheat on her that means he will cheat on you

    Tell him that you're celibate
    And if he wants some of your goodies he gon' have to work for it.

    (Rule number 4)
    Be the person you wanna find
    Don't be a nickel out here lookin' for a dime.
