Ft. Nakia Shine

[Intro: La Chat]

yo, this a situation when, somebody dats kool ain't kool no moe
you know, da mutha $#&@a you been ova and backwards foe
when they needed you, you was durr for em

but when you needed them, they got ghost
and now you don't $#&@ wit em


[Chorus: Nakia Shine & La Chat]
I don't know whether ta slap you or dap you, smack you or clap you
trust you or bust you, cut you or rush you (I don't know whether ta)

love you or slug you, mug you or hug you
I was there fa you, but when I needed you where was you ?
I don't know whether ta slap you or dap you, smack you or clap you

trust you or bust you, cut you or rush you (I don't know whether ta)
love you or slug you, mug you or hug you
I was there fa you, but when I needed you where was you ?


[Verse 1: La Chat]
Aye, dis back in 1999, aye peep dis

Dig dis, dis da truth right here

fresh up out tha Dixie queen, ya gurl La Chat bumped on tha scene

ya I'm so mean, sold many dreamz, I quit it and signed up wit yo team
we grow bread, made a pledge, neva cross and keep it real
ion know nuttin bout publishin, I'm givin ^!$$%z my idea

ion know about contracts, ion know about paper work
I'm thankin we all tagetha, this our chance letz make it work
trusted yall wit my career, all I wanted ta dew was rap

make sum paper for my son and get my name out on da map
Chi-Chicken Head, Baby Mama, Lil Chat, man my name gettin hot
that when yall wuz out there dealin, put my solo out threw cont.

murder she spoke, hit tha streetz, I'm promotin and dew'n plenty showz
let my son back down in Memphis, most of da time I'm on tha road
shows started slowin up, I started ta ask about my sales

over 150,000 songs, boomin off tha shelfz
I'm hurtin hell, where my money? can't believe dey take it from me
All deez units dat I move, you ^!$$%z I got nuthin for da?


[Chorus: Nakia Shine & La Chat]
I don't know whether ta slap you or dap you, smack you or clap you

trust you or bust you, cut you or rush you (I don't know whether ta)
love you or slug you, mug you or hug you
I was there fa you, but when I needed you where was you ?

I don't know whether ta slap you or dap you, smack you or clap you
trust you or bust you, cut you or rush you (I don't know whether ta)
love you or slug you, mug you or hug you

I was there fa you, but when I needed you where was you ?

[Verse 2: La Chat]

Aye let me tell you about dis otha (*##$

Pullin minutes thangs, robbin thangs, tryna get sum change
Gettin ova on deez lames, bringin pain ta deez ^!$$%z mayn
We was out here mobbin, lookin for a job in

A ^!$$% claim a sell, so you know we had ta rob him
I wuz told move units, so I made tha (*##$ da getaway
Yea we got away, we split tha %#@! and went our separate wayz

I was wit my ^!$$% at tha room, gettin my jaw knocked off
My cellular phone ringin, itz tha (*##$ and her $$# gone
Then tha $$# snitch, got tha lawz all at my doe, took this %#@! ta court

Got sum time, but I made parole, now we on tha street
She all at my doe say she missin me, but she know itz beef
Cuz in tha joint we ain't even speak

we can't even kick it cuz I know dis hoe ain't kool

[Chorus: Nakia Shine & La Chat]
I don't know whether ta slap you or dap you, smack you or clap you
trust you or bust you, cut you or rush you (I don't know whether ta)

love you or slug you, mug you or hug you
I was there fa you, but when I needed you where was you ?
I don't know whether ta slap you or dap you, smack you or clap you
trust you or bust you, cut you or rush you (I don't know whether ta)
love you or slug you, mug you or hug you

I was there fa you, but when I needed you where was you ?

[Verse 3: La Chat]
yea, let me tell you about this ma $#&@in weak $$# ^!$$%
dis ma $#&@in ^!$$%, my hoes was down wit dis boy, yo


Hoppin a down (*##$, way bafoe theze hoes was down
I did whatever I had ta dew ta get us off tha ground
You ramember when you caught that charge ? ^!$$%z left you in da dark
It wasn't nobody else by yo side, but me and it was hard

I had no job, but I dreamed on makin it big one day
We stepped in cars, till I came up on da place ta stay
I want ta start ya out, my momma dew'n good wit a real nice crib
I gave it all up, cuz wit out yo love I felt I could not live
I made sum bombs, but you still had ta dew sum time

I did my thang, but I alwayz kept you on my mind
I had you straight, snuck in drugs past tha guards
We got a son at home and man I damm near caught a charge
When you got out I had a car,some shoes and plenty clothes
I wash that Fubu cuz I dress too hot for all dem hoes
You cheated on me, had me feelin down, sad and lonely

I felt it wasn't meant ta be datz why I left ya homie

[Chorus:]
I don't know whether ta slap you or dap you, smack you or clap you
trust you or bust you, cut you or rush you (I don't know whether ta)
love you or slug you, mug you or hug you
I was there fa you, but when I needed you where was you ?

I don't know whether ta slap you or dap you, smack you or clap you
trust you or bust you, cut you or rush you (I don't know whether ta)
love you or slug you, mug you or hug you
I was there fa you, but when I needed you where was you ? where was you ?
