[Verse: 1]

Pull up your pants
(Just like em')
Take out the trash
(Just like em')
You can dig cash like em'
Fast like em'
Girl you outta act like ya dig
(What I'm talkin' bout)
Security codes on everything
Vibrate so your phone don't ever ring
(Joint account)
And another one he don't know about

[Hook]

Wish we could switch up the roles
And I could be that
Tell you I love you
But when you call I never get back
Would you ask them questions like me
Like where you be at
Cause I'm out 4 in the morning
On the corna rollin
Do'n my own thing
Ohh

[Chorus]

What if i
Had a thing on the side
Made ya cry
Would the rules change up
Or would they still apply
If I played you like a toy
Sometimes I wish I could act like a boy

[Guy chopped & screwed voice]

Can't be get'n mad
What you mad
Can't handle that
Can't be get'n mad
What you mad
Can't handle that

[Verse: 2]

Girl go head and be
(Just like em')
Go run the streets
(Just like em')
Come home late say sleep like em
Creep like em'
Front with ya friends
Act hard when you're with em' like em
(What)
Keep a straight face when ya tell a lie
Always keep an air tight alibi
(Keep him in the dark)
What he don't know won't break his heart

[Hook]
Wish we could switch up the roles
And I could be that
Tell you I love you
But when you call I never get back
Would you ask them questions like me
Like where you be at
Cause I'm out 4 in the morning
On the corna roll'n
Do'n my own thing
Yea

[Chorus]
What if i
Had a thing on the side
Made ya cry
Would the rules change up
Or would they still apply
If I played you like a toy
Sometimes I wish I could act like a boy

[Guy chopped & screwed voice]
Can't be get'n mad
What you mad
Can't handle that
Can't be gettin mad
What you mad
Can't handle that
Can't be get'n mad
What you mad
Can't handle that
Can't be gettin mad
What you mad?
Can't handle that

[Bridge]
If I was always gone
Let the sun beat me home
(Would ya like that?)
Told you I was with my crew
When I knew it wasn't true
(Would ya like that?)
If I act like you
Walk a mile off in yo shoes
(Would ya like that?)
I'm mess'n with your head again
A dose of your medicine

[Chorus]
What if i
Had a thing on the side?
Made ya cry?
Would the rules change up
Or would they still apply
If I played you like a toy
Sometimes I wish I could act like a boy

[Guy chopped & screwed voice]
Can't be get'n mad
What you mad
Can't handle that
Can't be get'n mad
What you mad
Can't handle that
Can't be get'n mad
What you mad
Can't handle that
Can't be get'n mad
What you mad
Can't handle that

[Music plays]

[Outro]
If I played you
Would yo like that
Had friends
Would you like that
Never call
Would you like that?
Naw naw
You wouldn't like that
No

[Half-chorus]
What if I made ya cry
Would they still apply
What if i
If I played you like a toy
Sometimes I wish I could act like a boy

[Music til' song fades out]
