Lyrics
The winds of fortune
Don't blow the same
She had to get out
And make a change
She had a kid now
But much too young
Their baby daddy's
Out having fun
He's sayin' "Now I'm on a roll
With all the girls I know"
His baby mama
She aint so slow
He's sayin' "Now I'm on a roll"
With all the girls I know"
I know you wanna Hit That
I know you wanna Hit That, Hit That
All of the world is getting with i say
Consequences are a lot for me
That's the way
That's the way things go
What was a family
Is now a shell
We're raising kids now
Who raise themselves
Sex is a weapon
It's like a drug
It gets around until
That crowd will eat you up
She's sayin' "Now I'm on a run
I'm chasing guys for fun"
My baby daddy
It aint his only one
She's sayin' "Now I'm on a run
I'm chasing guys for fun"
I know you wanna Hit That
I know you wanna Hit That, Hit That
Hey everybody's getting with I say
Consequences are a right folly
That's the way
That's the way things go
Well then wise up
Broken up, really such a shame
But why not?
Take a chance, everything's a game
And it don't stop
Hooking up, nothing's gonna change
Well, the more he's tryin'
The more he's buyin'
He says "Now I'm on a roll
With all the girls I know"
His baby mama
Don't need to know
He's sayin' "Now I'm on a roll
With all the girls I know"
I know you wanna Hit That
I know you wanna Hit That, Hit That
All of the world is getting with i say
Consequences are a right folly
That's the way
That's the way things go
