 Y'all sweatin the next man  cause y'all think he's live
 Cause the gear he buy  or the car that he drive
 He's out your league  meanin not your equal
 You're idolizin some knucklehead who can't teach you
 So get yours like you first intended
 Go out for self  that means be independent
 Word up  stop sweatin that brother
 I don't think he got his dependin on another
 But y'all wanna cling and be under his wing
 Brag about his things like his chains and rings
 How he's livin fat, buyin this and that
 Y'all wit him everday, but y'all ain't makin jack
 Y'all gettin played like Nintendo
 He's not showin y'all how to be large like him though
 You could be PAID, strivin out, gettin things
 Hangin with him, you can't afford two chicken wings
 You're better off goin out solo
 Cause stickin with him, you're not makin no dough
 So stop hawkin and holdin out your hand
 Get yours -- and stop sweatin the next man

 Nowadays, things are lookin critical
 Y'all sweatin a brother, females are widdit too
 A man that's paid, that's what the females are seekin
 That's why they dress up and go out every weekend
 No doubt that some of these, females are wannabees
 Sweatin every brother with a car over 20 G's
 You break your neck, to run after him
 He know damn well that you can't do jack for him
 He got game, so your head is all psyched
 He's the type, to get the sex the first night
 So you get with him, you run and tell all your crew
 "I love that man!" Yeah, sure you do
 Your intentions was to jerk him and scoop the cash
 You didn't know he was too smart for your stupid ass
 He knows you're not makin no dough
 Wearin the same outfit three weekends in a row
 Everytime you see him, you're broke and empty handed
 Then wonder why you got fucked and left stranded
 Went all out to please and impress him
 Now he's gone, you wonder why you can't catch him
 Check it out, to end off the segment
 You're confused, you fell off - plus you're pregnant!
 Got caught out there, that wasn't part of the plan
 "Finesse what should I do?" Stop sweatin the next man

 If a person's out your league, then let him go
 He might be cool, but you don't have to sweat him though
 I don't care if he's drivin, or he dressed GQ
 You deserve just as much respect, as he do
 What you wanna be - a loaner or a borrower?
 Owner or employer? Leader or a follower?
 The next man is not here to help y'all
 He can't put you down, you can only make yourself fall
 But y'all sweat him cause the shit is down pat
 He's livin fat, yeah the brother's all that
 Out of all the fish in the sea, y'all think he's the head shark
 Y'all sweat him so much, y'all givin his dick stretch marks
 So don't sweat him cause y'all think he's a big shot
 And stop scheamin on what some other kid got
 You could use your skills to gain wealth and respect then
 you could be just as large as the next man
 Listen to me -- and I'll bet you
 when you get paid, the next man'll sweat you
 That's today's plan, and tomorrow's move
 is to get paid, and make other brothers follow you
 And let em know, to take they stand
 and get theirs -- and stop sweatin the next man!
