[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

All those gizames you're tryin' to plizay 

You're gonna miss, you're gonna miss my love

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
