Girl you know that you need
To stop givin' me the silent
treatment baby
Can't you see what you mean to me
I wanna love you constantly
but you keep neglecting me
And treating me silently
Girl you know that you need
To stop givin' me the silent
treatment baby
Can't you see what you mean to me
I wanna love you constantly
but you keep neglecting me
And treating me silently
Yo I had a Queen named Amina
height 5'7
Caramel-complected
body like heaven
Met her through the sister
of my man Big Vince
Like some shit from out the flicks
we been in love ever since
She called me her chocolate brotha
I call her my sugar sista
Knew Shorty could work it since
before I ever kissed her
I never dissed her painted
my picture to hit
But because sex she wasn't with
she started flippin an' shit
Like Listen man I'm Queen Amina
Amina's not no freak and
That game is weak and keep tryin
to hit I could quit speakin
Tariq in fact you bein BlackThought
don't get ya closer
I dig ya but won't bone ya
because I'm so-called supposed ta
Most o' them would
but that couldn't be me
that's not my flava
Go home and think about that
maybe later on I'll page ya
I contemplated and then
concluded she was bluffin
Steady pursuin screwin
gettin nothin
but the silent treatment
Girl you know that you need
To stop givin' me the silent
treatment baby
Can't you see what you mean to me
I wanna love you constantly
but you keep neglecting me
And treating me silently
Girl you know that you need
To stop givin' me the silent
treatment baby
Can't you see what you mean to me
I wanna love you constantly
but you keep neglecting me
And treating me silently
Bay-bee
Crazy frustration
about my lovin situation
When patience was a virtue
but I wasn't used to waitin
I want some Marvin Gaye healin
feelin is real inside
I slip and slide
my ride'll keep you occupied I'd
Love to get wit it like that
but my baby's kitty cat's capped
And locked
Love Boat is docked at the shore
And what for
Later for groupies on tour
Why won't my sugar
call me no more
I mean my Queen gets upset
rejectin and sexually neglect
Then sayin I'm more
sewer than Das EFX
and closed-minded
It's like I'm blinded by the skinnin
I'm into women because of that
this one's into communication
Temptation played the vandal
freakin my brain my mind
Rippin the handle
on physically scandalous acts
Yo She knew what I wanted
but she fronted
bust it
Girl you know that you need
To stop givin' me the silent
treatment baby
Can't you see what you mean to me
I wanna love you constantly
but you keep neglecting me
And treating me silently
Girl you know that you need
To stop givin' me the silent
treatment baby
Can't you see what you mean to me
I wanna love you constantly
but you keep neglecting me
And treating me silently
Well umm
Movin right along with the song
plus the strong
Feelings on my mind
desire to intertwine
Combine and blend
baby bust a message that I send
Ain't no need to pretend
cause shit is real til the end
I provide a place to hide
from crime hard times
And livin trife while I open ya mind
you're in my life
Like love it ain't no way no
one can rise above what's real
That's why I'm feelin
like you're makin me bugged
I puff an El on fifty deuce
while I walk in the rain
Heart feelin killa pain
while I hop the train
Dial her number to the rest
and ain't no messages left
Regardless my chest thumps
from stress yo it's a mess
I don't know what I got to
do to make you understand
I'm for real and that's no question
no frontin or no guessin
Undressin carressin in the span
that I contain in my hand
Could touch and make
you say that I'm such a man
And call my name
so let me set your body aflame
I'll never treat you
like a dame or run game
Now who's to blame
I know you're not a hoe
for niggas with a lot of dough
But I just wanted you to know
Girl you know that you need
To stop givin' me the silent
treatment baby
Can't you see what you mean to me
I wanna love you constantly
but you keep neglecting me
And treating me silently
Silently silently
Girl you know that you need
To stop givin' me the silent
treatment baby
Can't you see what you mean to me
I wanna love you constantly
but you keep neglecting me
And treating me silently
Silently

Girl you know that you need
To stop givin' me the silent
treatment baby
Can't you see what you mean to me
I wanna love you constantly
but you keep neglecting me
And treating me silently
Silently silently
