A Tribe Called Quest - The Night He Got Caught lyrics

We got somethin for all of y'all
We like to play we like to ball
This is a story for all of you
When we do our thing we got to do it true

Sittin' in my canvas in the
Corner of my room 12: 45 as the radio booms
Paging you six times
Call you on your cell but
It's just a bad line it's a full moon so I
Guess I'm bout to howl
Thinkin' thoughts like "Is my
Girl gonna prowl?"
Naw, I guess she wouldn't violate us
Plus hittin' gets for real and
She doesn't like to fuss
Callin up the shorty that I met four weeks
On the street, lookin' sweet
And I was about to eat
Conscious of my lady but we was on the outs
Had mad love but I had mad doubts
On the phone talkin' gettin' on my swerve
But thinking 'bout my lady
Guess I had some nerve
We was still dreamin' and I
Had a little shot
Cause I didn't even hear it
When the door unlocked
"Damn, where the hell was you at?
Damn, why you coming in late?
Damn, where the hell was you at?"
"Damn, where the hell was you at?
Damn, why you coming in late?
Damn, where the hell was you at
Why you coming in late?"
Now she standing over me
I said "I gotta go"
Turned around quick but I hung it up slow
"What's the deal, love, what's goin' on?
I see it in ya face
Just tell me what's wrong"
"Mm nothin', I think we need to speak"
"Mm okay, well, just have a seat"
She wears a frown, she lookin' 'round
Sweat coming down and she
Doesn't make a sound (Shh shh)
Tappin on the table growin' impatient
I'm gettin' up and now I start pacing
She says "Alright!" as she
Starts to conversate
"I'ma do what you do"
And I say "Elaborate"
"Well you got that girl on the side
What if I had a guy then, too?
Would your heart be broken, boy?
I'd wonder what you do"
"Are you tellin' me you got a dude
Who's lovin' you better than me?"
"No, but I caught ya ass
So I guess I'm settin' you free"
"yeah, whatever" as a standin' pride
"Me and her is only friends
Though, we never end, yo
We're gonna still tie intimate ends, yo
I don't think so, my shit is on lock, ho"
"Word? That's how it's goin'?
Well I guess it was really good knowin'"
"I'ma still just keep in contact"
"Oh, no, there's no need for that"
(Nigga, uh)

We got somethin' for all of y'all
We like to play we like to ball
This is a song for all of you
When we do our thing we got to do it true
