Let me play with your emotions

Well a motherfucker could never control me, only squeeze me and hold me
That's what the ho came up and told me
Now is she bold G? But in my mouth is where the gold be
Cause I be pimpin' her like Goldie
Gotta get paid in this age my fingers ain't made
Just to be choppin' up confetti with,
If it's already thick you better study nigga if you ain't with it you can get it
'Cause I ain't even on that petty shit
So who the f*ck you actin' petty wit'?
The rhythm I kick, is like a rhythmly-wicked-arith-a-metic
Pick em up quick and then give em the dick, thinkin' I'm innocent
They up in the mall shoppin' for me pickin' a fit
I got them heffer's nose red
And when we get in the bed, I be leavin' 'em with rose legs
Stuffin' that made em wanna pose dead
But you already got em until you get up in them hoes head
I don't mean to sound bogus or nothin'
But it's the bomb when I be havin' them cuties thinkin'
I'm in love with em, when I'm rubbin' 'em
Be gettin' pub with em, in a club with 'em
Smokin' dub with em, huggin' 'em, freakin' in the tub with 'em
After gettin' paid from her she ain't trippin'
'Cause she know she got what she paid for
She honor my name, I gotta tame, here it go
Now we speakin' with the game on ways to make mo'

Let me play with your emotions ho (Let me play, with your emotions)
To the rhythm of a hi-hat, take a puff and lie back
Let me stimulate your mind, body and soul, I know you want to try that
Now motherfucker can you buy that,
Tell me baby can you buy that
I got you under my complete control,
You know it's worth more than diamonds and gold,
Now don't be bogus and deny that

Emotions ho (Let me play, with your emotions)
To the rhythm of a hi-hat, take a puff and lie back
Let me stimulate your mind, body and soul, I know you want to try that
Now motherfucker can you buy that,
Tell me baby can you buy that
I got you under my complete control,
You know it's worth more than diamonds and gold,
Now don't be bogus and deny that

Now how the f*ck you gon' act ho, I saw you creepin' out the back do'
What you runnin' from a mack fo'? Lay you on your back slow
Cause you know I got you with my lasso
Blow your mind like a afro
Come and take a glimpse of the stairs
It's the aroma of a pimp in the air, I betcha notice the smell
It's like a lotus when I flow dis, cause my eyes be the lowest
If you didn't notice then you bogus as hell
I'm puttin' women under my spell, like I'm up in their brain
Pumpin' their vein with game for the anatomy that's feminine
They're fillin' 'em up with adrenaline,
Got 'em geekin' we're speakin' approachin up a pimp like a gentleman
Submission is surrenderin, it ain't no endin' if it's on
With a blunt from the bomb side
In the right place, with the right mind and the right line
You can get a lifetime contract
They be wise until they look into your eyes
A shorty freaked when she spotted mine
Took her over to my crib, lay low, hit her off from behind
Then she signed on the dotted-line, the ho was like,
"Ooh Daddy, why you doin' me like this?
I'd do anything to be with you, you got me gone in the head"
Ya mind, I don't mean to make a disaster up
Like my Dad to master love
But if a motherfucker breakin' you for every penny you earn
Then how could you still show the bastard love?
I guess it's cause I'm cold, shit
Thought you was gon' be spendin' me I betcha think you sho' did
But game recognize game, now you lame in the brain
Stupid bitch that's what you get for tryin' to gold dig

Now let me play wit' your motions ho (Let me play, with your emotions)
To the rhythm of a hi-hat, take a puff and lie back
Let me stimulate your mind, body and soul, I know you want to try that
Now motherfucker can you buy that,
Tell me baby can you buy that
I got you under my complete control,
You know it's worth more than diamonds and gold,
Now don't be bogus and deny that

Emotions ho (Let me play, with your emotions)
To the rhythm of a hi-hat, take a puff and lie back
Let me stimulate your mind, body and soul, I know you want to try that
Now motherfucker can you buy that,
Tell me baby can you buy that
I got you under my complete control,
You know it's worth more than diamonds and gold,
Now don't be bogus and deny that

Yeah, this be Hype, the Verbal Tantrum
Kickin it with my man Twista
If you should suck my soul
I should make your funky emotions
Nothin is good unless you play with it
Play with me baby

I know you think it's blasphemy
But won't you give up when she ask for me? After he passed the beat
Since you said I was your Magesty, I had to see
And when you get paid, there is some cash for me, is it a tragedy
That I can get her so gone, the ho be trippin' talkin' up her love a lot
But the only love I got, is when I'm grippin' like I wanna hug the Glock
Or when I rub the twat, or pickin' up a dub at spots
F*ck the ho thugs, the clubs, and the phony perpetrators with dimes
The speed knots match voo-Do or Die, Psycho Drama, Crucial Conflict
Be pimpin' with 'em gators and dons, collect the papers and dolls
Player haters remarks will get smoked to a blunt dust
So keep walkin' the next time you hear grown folks talkin'
Motherfuckers betta shut the f*ck up, cause we make the women suck up
You insist to be trippin' while we be gamin like Don Juan
What up the filet minion, the grey poupon
Them hoes are staked to charm, because we make the bomb
Now I don't mean no harm, but either come on in or get on gone
And let me pour my potion slow
In between your thighs, come take a pull and vibe
And let your tongue go coastin' low

Now let me play with your emotions ho (Let me play, with your emotions)
To the rhythm of a hi-hat, take a puff and lie back
Let me stimulate your mind, body and soul, I know you want to try that
Now motherfucker can you buy that,
Tell me baby can you buy that
I got you under my complete control,
You know it's worth more than diamonds and gold,
Now don't be bogus and deny that

Emotions ho (Let me play, with your emotions)
To the rhythm of a hi-hat, take a puff and lie back
Let me stimulate your mind, body and soul, I know you want to try that
Now motherfucker can you buy that,
Tell me baby can you buy that
I got you under my complete control,
You know it's worth more than diamonds and gold,
Now don't be bogus and deny that

Let me play, I wanna play, with your emotions
Can I play?
Oh baby, all I wanna do girl is play, with your emotions
