[Montell]
I called you on the phone
To see if you was at home alone
Somethin´ just ain´t right
Tell me, where were you last night?
You were supposed to be with me
And I paged your ass around 10:33
You didn´t even call me back
Now tell me, baby, what up wit that?

Now you told me you need
A man like me from the streets
Remember when I was tossin´
That ass on 4th and Slawson
You said I was everything you want
And now all the condoms that I bought
I gotta box ´em up for the next one
Cuz you just wanna flex and have your fun, baby

[Coolio]
You wanna play those games
Thought you was dealin´ wit a flea
But you´re dealin´ wit a G
You better recognize the C, double O, L
I´m down wit Montell (how you livin´ homie?)
I´m livin´ kinda swell
I thought you was the one, yeah
I thought you was my baby
Now I see through your games
And I know you´re tryin´ to play me
So you can put your pumps on and get your rump on
Cuz your hump ain´t that strong
Well, you can have my Land Rove
Give me 30 minutes and a fifth of yak
And I´ll rip that, smack that, hit that ass
Like King-T do´s it
I got to go rippin´ it
Put you to the side, so I can catch up on my pimpin´
Ya better make a left wit the bullshit you stickin´ me with
Brothas be hittin´ up they hood on your kitten
My partner don´t play that
Yeah, I had to say that
What go around, come back around
This is the payback

[Montell]
And it feels just like payback
Ay yo, who´s pimpin´ who?
And shit like that
All those games you´re tryin´ to play
You´ll miss out on a good thing baby
(It feels like) Payback
Who´s playin´ who, girl?
Cuz that was kinda wack
All those gizames, you´re tryin´ to plizay
Yeah

Girl, it feels like payback
I really really hate to say that
I thought you was triflin´, givin´ me the shove
But you´re gonna miss, you´re gonna miss my love
(Oh, I thought she was mad as hell, cuz I was for one thing)
Way back I was cheatin´
You wanna get even, but I ain´t goin´ out like that
If I apologize for all the lies
Oh, believe me girl, I´m sorry
There´s a right and a wrong way to love somebody
And I know the right way
Can we start tonight babe?
You need to lose that loser in a hurry
And you´re never gonna have to worry
No, no, hell no

Feels like payback
Who´s pimpin´ who?
And shit like that
All those games you´re tryin´ to play
You´ll miss out on a good thing, baby
It feels like payback
Mistakes that I made (way back) baby
All those gizames you´re tryin´ to plizay
You´re gonna miss, you´re gonna miss my love

Feels like payback
Who´s pimpin´ who?
And shit like that
All those games you´re tryin´ to play

(Said it feels just like) Feels like payback
Who´s playin´ who, girl?
Cuz that was kinda wack
All those gizames your tryin´ to plizay
Oh, girl

We´ll miss that loving that we shared for oh so long
Let´s put this all behind us
And love will always find us
You see, all of your men and my girlfriends
They´ll all be in the past
We´ll be solid as a rock
And we´ll make it
We´ll make it
Yeah, yeah, hey hey
Gonna miss out on a good...
