Huh-huh, new American
How ya love dat'
Off the hizzle fa' shizzle dizzle
Get it to me Baby fizzle
(Check it, check it, check it) Yeah, yeah!

[Babyface]
Girl you got your busines in the street
Claimin' that your [shit] is weak
Been six months since you've been gone
How come you ain't called?
When you don't feel love no more
You got no right to close the door
You loved her once
And she's got proof
Baby boy looks just like you

Chorus:
[Babyface]
Yo' get her love and much respect
Even if she's got man
Ghetto, player you must understand
That's you baby's momma
Don't be late payin' your bills
It takes two to make a kid
When the hell you gon' understand
That's you baby's momma

[Snoop Dogg]
Tell the baby goodbye (baby goodbye)
'Cause you don't wanna be by (wanna be by)
The way you acting... fly (they way you acting... fly)
Girl you know you livin' a lie (livin' a lie)

[Babyface]
I heard you got a chick on the side
I hope you got it right this time
Heard she got inside your mind
Hatin' on your family ties
She's got no right to dawg her out
That is the mother of your child
You loved her once and that's the truth
Baby boy looks just like you

Chorus:
[Babyface]
Yo' get her love and much respect
Even if she's got man
Ghetto, player you must understand
That's you baby's mama
Don't be late payin' your bills
It takes two to make a kid
When the hell you gon' understand
That's you baby's mama

[Snoop Dogg]
Let me holla at y'all for a second
You say you don't love her
You push her and you shove her
That's your first son's mother
Word to mother, if it's that bad
Then go and get another
She kicked ya to the curb
And now you're livin' in the gutta, st-st-stutter
[Nigga] what up?
That child suppote (support)
Is tearin' you butt up
Nut up, cut up, and act a fool
Raisin' hell at the daycare school
They threw you in jail for not payin' you dues
You couldn't even buy yo son dem new Kobe shoes
Alotta fools say they do but they don't
I know you're mad you got to hate boo
Gon' wait it through, let's see what he gon' do
He might, better yet better
The court wrote a letter
To be real wich you, you gotta kid wich you
So one to one, man to man
He got to deal wich you

[Babyface]
How you gonna act when you [shit] is strong?
When you don't even claim your own
How can you even sleep
When you know you're wrong
Wake up, wake up, wake up, wake up (wake up, wake up)
How you gonna act when you family's gone
'Cause they tired of the [shit] you do (all the [shit] you do)
How you gonna feel when you can't go home
'Cause there ain't nobody there for, you!

Chorus:
[Babyface] (Snoop Dogg)
Yo' get her love and much respect
Even if shes got man
Ghetto, player you must understand
That's you baby's momma (baby mama drama)
Don't be late payin' your bills
It takes two to make a kid (to make a kid)
When the hell you gon' understand
That's you baby's momma (baby mama drama)
Yo' get her love and much respect (yeah, love her)
Even if shes got man (respect that)
Ghetto, player you must understand (uh)
That's you baby's momma (that's yo baby's mama)
Don't be late payin' your bills (uh-uh, yeah!)
It takes two to make a kid (money, money, money)
When the hell you gon' understand
That's you baby's momma (that's yo baby's mama)

[Snoop Dogg]

Babyface

Kenneth “Babyface” Edmonds (born April 10, 1959 in Indianapolis, Indiana) is a Grammy Award-winning producer, singer, and songwriter responsible for a string of hits in the 1980s and 1990s. He has written and produced more than 20 number-one hits and won 11 Grammys—including three for Producer of the Year—for his work with Boyz II Men, Whitney Houston, Eric Clapton, Alicia Keys, and Toni Braxton, as well as his own work as an artist.

Babyface got his nickname from funk legend Bootsy Collins after joining his backing band in the 1970s. He joined the group Manchild in the late ‘70s—a group that also included his frequent collaborator Daryl Simmons—before moving out West and working with the group The Deele in the early 1980s, forming a bond with his bandmate and future production partner L.A. Reid. After producing the hit “Two Occasions” for The Deele, L.A. & Babyface broke off and became one of the biggest superproducer duos in R&B, rivaling the hits of fellow superproducer duo Jimmy Jam & Terry Lewis.

L.A. & ‘Face had their hands in a string of #1 R&B hits in the late '80s and early '90s from artists such as Pebbles (“Girlfriend”), Karyn White (“Superwoman”), The Whispers (“Rock Steady”), Johnny Gill (“My, My, My”) and many more. They were also instrumental in the success of post-New Edition era Bobby Brown as they produced his #1 hits “Don’t Be Cruel,” “Every Little Step,” “On Our Own,” and “Humpin' Around.” They made history with Boyz II Men in 1992 as they wrote and produced “End of the Road,” which spent a record-breaking 14 consecutive weeks atop the pop chart.
