[Intro] Are you ready for me? Better let me know Are you ready for me? Better let me know Are you ready for me? Better let me know You'd better, you'd better do whatever's clever baby [Verse 1] How can you be down? you gotta do whatever's clever So that I will stick around you gotta do whatever's clever And you don't want to waste your time you gotta do whatever's clever You gotta go somewhere you gotta do whatever's clever If you wanna step to me You gotta do whatever's clever So I'll listen carefully.. You gotta do whatever's clever You gotta say whatever, hear whatever, mean whatever, hear whatever, Feel whatever, think whatever do whatever's clever So you want to roll with me, Here's advice that you should heed Common sense is all you need To avoid my thunder First of all talk to my face Not the view below my waist How we gonna conversate While your head's down under? Stop where are you going If you were in my shoes, what would you say? Stop, this is worth knowing So a brother can't lose if he steps my way. Stop where are you going If you were in my shoes, what would you say? Stop, this is worth knowing So a brother can't lose if he steps my way. [Chorus repeat] Here's a very simple truth "Monkey see is monkey do" So you're never getting through If your boys are busters Finally please understand All I have is by my hand On my own I'm making ground I am my own woman. Stop where are you going If you were in my shoes, what would you say? Stop, this is worth knowing So a brother can choose if he steps my way. Stop where are you going If you were in my shoes, what would you say? Stop, this is worth knowing So a brother can't lose if he steps my way. [Chorus repeat] [Intro repeat (x2)]
