  • Where is he?
    The man who is just like me
    I heard he was hiding somewhere I can't see
    Where is he?
    The man who is just like me
    Heard he was hiding somewhere I can't see
    And I'm alone, and I realize that when I get home
    I wanna talk to my red and my cherry
    Yes, I'm alone, and I realize when I get home
    I wanna talk to my red and my cherry

    I want someone who like the champagne I like
    My a-alike, someone to talk me off the bridge any day or night
    She teach me how to live, she ain't afraid of life
    Not easily impressed with the rich and famous life
    'Cause she done been there and heard all the rumors before
    She love art, she ride out with me on my music tour
    She like the herbs, natural medicine, she cooking good
    She tell me everything is cool when it ain't looking good
    For real, the world so ill, yo, I want a girl so real
    Who not after material wealth, but get dough still
    Or maybe an educator, a lady with etiquette
    Who can be from out the hood or even work for the president
    As long as there's no selfishness
    Yes, as long as her love for the people is deep rooted and evident
    You can be easily recruited, you're Heaven-sent
    Your smile put me at ease
    You're the woman I need, but where is she?

    Where is he?
    The man who is just like me
    I heard he was hiding somewhere I can't see
    Where is he?
    The man who is just like me
    Heard he was hiding somewhere I can't see
    And I'm alone, and I realize that when I get home
    I wanna talk to my red and my cherry
    Yes, I'm alone, and I realize when I get home
    I wanna talk to my red and my cherry

    I hate when people write me hostile texts
    On account of my lifestyle's perception
    Invade my personal life? Out of the question, what are they expecting?
    I be trying to reply and they never suppose I get my quiet time in
    They think forever I'm rolling in dough, swimming in a pool of cash
    God, wouldn't they know, or am I a fool to ask?
    I'm well known, got people coming at me mad
    I had to tell homes, I don't keep a cell phone, my bad
    I drag off the L and try to silence it
    The noise in my head, the curse of the talented
    Strong communicator, vagabond, I gallivant around the equator
    And that would get me off the radar
    It's so intense, I'm on my Lilo & Stitch
    Pour my Pino Grigio and Cris' with some lime what is this?
    An immaculate version of Me and My Bitch by Biggie
    With all respect 'cause you the only one who gets me

    Where is he?
    The man who is just like me
    I heard he was hiding somewhere I can't see
    Where is he?
    The man who is just like me
    Heard he was hiding somewhere I can't see
    And I'm alone, and I realize that when I get home
    I wanna talk to my red and my cherry
    Yes, I'm alone, and I realize when I get home
    I wanna talk to my red and my cherry

    Yeah, yeah, let's pour some cherry wine
    Everything's good, everything's fine
    Yeah, yeah we bring it every time
    Yeah, pour a little cherry wine
    Yeah, ayo Salaam, yeah, I think they know the time
    Everything's good, everything's fine
    Yeah, pour a little cherry wine, yeah

    Life is good, life is good, yeah
    Life is good, no matter what
    Life is good, life is good
    Life is good, yeah
    Life is good
    No matter what
    Life is good

    Now, where is he?
    The man who is just like me
    I heard he was hiding somewhere I can't see
    Where is he?
    The man who is just like me
    Heard he was hiding somewhere I can't see
    And I'm alone, and I realize that when I get home
    I wanna talk to my red and my cherry
    Yes, I'm alone, and I realize that when I get home
    I wanna talk to my red and my cherry

    Ohh-oh
    Nah-nah-nah-nah-no
    Ohh-oh-wah-da-ow-oh
    Ah, di-di-di-di-di
    Oh-oh-no-no, no-no-no-na-na-na-di-di-di
    Ah-ba-boo-di-di-di, ba-boo-di-di-da-boo-di-dow
    Dow-dow-dow-dow, oh-oh-oh-no, oh-oh-oh-oh
    Ah-na-na-na-no

    No-no-no, The man who is just like me
    I heard he was hiding somewhere I can't see
    And I'm alone and I realize that when I get home
    When I wanna talk to my red and my cherry
    Yeah, ohh, oh-oh
    Mh, The man who is just like me
    'Cause I heard he was hidin' somewhere I can't see
    And I'm alone, and I realize when I get home
    That I wanna talk to my red and my cherry
