[Intro]
Ho, ho, sideline ho
You's a ho, you's a ho, sideline ho

[Verse 1]
When you called his phone, did he pick it up?
No, 'cause we was makin' love
Did you meet his moms? Have you met his kid? No
Did you know my kid was his?

[Chorus]
Get your shit together, you're makin' a fool of yourself, yeah
It don't matter if he spends the night
His home is somewhere else
Ain't you tired of bein' on the side line?
Tired of gettin' yours after I gets mine
Baby, second place don't get a prize
When you gon' realize you wastin' your time?
Baby, ain't you tired of him gettin' in
Hittin' it real quick then rollin?
And ain't you tired of you need a little change
And he lie about what he holdin'?
Ain't you tired of spendin' all the holidays alone
Tired of bein' his little sideline ho?

[Verse 2]
Do he take you out? Do he foot your bills?
No, 'cause I know what his balance is
Have you been to his church? Do he ask you to pray?
No, 'cause Sunday's family day

[Chorus]
Get your shit together, you're makin' a fool of yourself, yeah
(Get your shit)
It don't matter if he spends the night (Don't matter)
His home is somewhere else, yeah
Ain't you tired of bein' on the side line? (Bein' on the side)
Tired of getting yours after I gets mine (Get mine)
Baby, second place don't get a prize
(Second place don't win no prize)
When you gon' realize you wastin' your time? Hey, yeah
Baby, ain't you tired of him gettin' in
Hittin' it real quick then rollin?
And ain't you tired of you need a little change (Tired)
And he lie about what he holdin'?
Ain't you tired of spendin' all the holidays alone (Oh-oh)
Tired of bein' his little sideline ho?

[Bridge]
Do you got benefits? No
Credit cards? No
House keys? No
Then you's a sideline ho
Do you get pillow talk? No
Held at night? No
If you don't make his breakfast, you's a sideline ho
Do you got benefits? No
Credit cards? No!
House keys? No
Then you's a sideline ho (Oh-oh)
Do you get pillow talk? No
Held at night? No
If you don't make his breakfast, you's a sideline ho

[Chorus]
Ain't you tired of bein' on the side line? (Yeah, yeah)
Tired of gettin' yours after I gets mine (get mine)
Baby, second place don't get a prize (Second place ain't no prize)
When you gon' realize you wasting your time? (Oh, I)
Baby, ain't you tired of him gettin' in
Hittin' it real quick then rollin'?
And ain't you tired of you need a little change
And he lie about what he holdin'?
Ain't you tired of spendin' all the holidays alone
Tired of bein' his little sideline ho? (Sideline ho)

[Outro]
You's a ho (Ho), you's a ho (Ho), sideline ho
(You's a sideline ho, sideline ho)
You's a ho, you's a ho, sideline ho
(You's a sideline ho, sideline ho)
You's a ho, you's a ho, sideline ho
(You's a sideline ho, sideline ho)
You's a ho, you's a ho, sideline ho
