Layaway

[Intro: Jon B]

Hot shit, call me

Hot shit, y'all, huh

[Verse 1: Jon B & AZ]

Girl, I won't be caught up (Uh uhn)

I won't be the way (Nah)

That I thought we could be

'Cause, girl, I know see how you are

Nothin' comes for free, baby

I gotta pay your fee (How much you worth, baby?)

[Pre-Chorus: Jon B & AZ]

Money's what she wants (Ice)

Cheddar is the key (Cheddar)

She's in love with me

There's no myth she ain't gotta do it for free

[Chorus: Jon B & AZ]

I gotta put your love on layaway (Can't afford that, man)

To make you stay (Yah)

I can't afford (Too much for me) your love

Ooh, mami mami, mami mami

[Verse 2: Jon B & AZ]

Girl, I'm workin 9 to 9

So I can keep mine

I gotta live my life

You, thought that you could get me

To be your baby's daddy

Girl you're funny funny

[Pre-Chorus: Jon B & AZ]

Money's what she wants

Cheddar is the key

She's in love with me (In love with who?)

Cause she ain't gotta do it for free

[Chorus: Jon B & AZ]

I gotta put your love on layaway (Can't afford that, man)

To make you stay (Ooh, ooh, baby)

I can't afford (I can't afford) your love, baby

Ooh, ooh, yeah

Ooh, ooh, oooh

[Verse 3: AZ]

It's Illmatic, this shit started, never departed

I [?] for those lost in the projects

I tore up them logics, yeah, them courses in college

Chased dollars

To me, what's most important is knowledge

Know the ledge for the chickens that's so on the edge

Nothin' for infrared to glow on your head

Life on the streets grew me well, movin' light on my feet

So deep, had me jumpin' up at night in my sleep

So [?] to speak if you that nigga that's influencin' beef

I'm tryna eat, don't have me put two in your feet

Ninety-nine ways I made out, you'll never fade out

Never get played out, you got game? Gas your way out

'Cause once it start trickin', it's like the odds is dippin'

The more she want with her hand out, it's all the system

The dough is there, we all need clothes to wear

On top of that, since the year's boo, it's only fair

But peep the game, once it's known, all the features change

Facial expressions start switchin', he speakin' strange

Gone with six but she was just blowin' the dick

Sayin' how much she love a nigga holdin' the whip

But if you trip a little, that's how these tricks'll do you

Can't understand? Well Jon gonna kick it to you

[Chorus: Jon B]

I gotta put your love on layaway

To make you stay (Yah)

I can't afford (Too much for me) your love

Ooh, mami mami, mami mami

[Bridge: Jon B]

Girl, I know that's what you want now, girl

I know that's what you want now, girl

Don't front it's what you want know, girl

I know that's what you want now, girl

Don't front it's what you want now, girl

Don't front it's what you want now, girl

I know that's what you want now, girl

Now say just what you want now, girl

What you really want now, girl

Ooh, ooh, ooh, ooh, ooh, ooh, ohh

[Chorus: Jon B & AZ]

I gotta put your love on layaway (Can't afford that, man)

To make you stay (Yah)

I can't afford (Too much for me) your love

Ooh, mami mami, mami mami
