I'm Not The One

[phone ringing]
C'mon, pick up the phone
(Hello?)
Yo, baby
(Oh. What's up?) (I'm not the one)
Yo, I ran into ya moms the other day,
It really hurt me to my heart,
The things that um... I had to tell her...
(What are you talking about?)
You should be honest, you know?

[Verse 1:]
I ran into your mom at the Beverly Center,
Soon as she saw me, swear the temperature went up,
I put that on my team, oh girl, made me wanna cuss,
But I can't let her. I was raised better.
She said that I was wrong for keeping you outta church,
Said it's me getting up under your skirt,
But I had to let her know,
How you getting down since I let you go.

[Chorus:]
But I'm not the one, keeping you them late nights,
They think I'm the one, giving you them monkey bites.
But I'm not the one. God, you're looking burnt-out,
Hangin with the wrong crowd, ain't in the track now.
Baby, I'm the one, who kept you on the honor roll,
Baby, I'm the one, you should've been down for,
But you're the one, caught up in this fast life,
Out there livin past trife, you've picked the wrong guy.
But I'm not the one.

[Verse 2:]
It's not a problem, that your folks wanna know where you are,
But I won't be disrespected.
You better come clean, let them know, where you go,
At the bar, in the club, I heard you dancing.
Shaking your ass on poles and tables,
That ain't how your mama raised you. (Oh no)
You're reputation been ruined on the block,
You can blame that on that pimp you got.
Cause I used to be, what you need girl,
He came, you've changed, you strayed.

[Chorus:]
But I'm not the one, keeping you them late nights,
They think I'm the one, giving you them monkey bites.
But I'm not the one. God, you're looking burnt-out,
Hangin with the wrong crowd, ain't in the track now.
Baby, I'm the one, who kept you on the honor roll,
Baby, I'm the one, you should've been down for,
But you're the one, caught up in this fast life,
Out there livin past trife, you've picked the wrong guy.
But I'm not the one.

[Bridge:]
I'm not that kinda guy,
Who would make such a mess of your life.
All I ever wanted was,
To keep you so satisfied.
Cause you deserve to be happy,
But you messed up a good thing.
You were the good girl on the block,
You died your mom and pops,
They can blame that on the new dude you got.

[Chorus:]
Cause I'm not the one, keeping you them late nights,
They think I'm the one, giving you them monkey bites.
But I'm not the one. God, you're looking burnt-out,
Hangin with the wrong crowd, ain't in the track now.
Baby, I'm the one, who kept you on the honor roll,
Baby, I'm the one, you should've been down for,
But you're the one, caught up in this fast life,
Out there livin past trife, you've picked the wrong guy.
But I'm not the one
