About There It Is

"There It Is" is a song by R&B singer Ginuwine. It was the lead single for his third album The Life. It peaked inside the Top 20 on the R&B chart but on the lower register of the Hot 100 pop chart. Due to the content of the song (the use of the word "shit" in the bridge and chorus), a clean version tailor made for radio play although only the original content was released on the album. The narrator describes how he works hard and pays the bills to provide a lifestyle for his live-in lover who does not have a job, but she does not show appreciation for what he does.

Said I work my fingers down to the bone
I put it down from 9 to 5 so you should know
(You wanna know what else?)
And I bust my ass so you can live good, yes I do, girl
Now all I want you to do is what you should, there it is

See there it is (there it is baby)
That ungrateful shit
There you go again, complanin'
And what your aim is, I dont know but I'm

I'm not doing this shit for nothing
I pay the car note, light bill, house note (house note)
What you think, this shit's for nothing? (what you think this is)
You're not workin'
So what more you want?

Listen, I do my best to give you what you need
It seems that
The harder that I work, the less you see
Ooh baby (ooh baby)
Who wouldn't want the life you lead?
Think about it
Living the good life, yeah
Practically scot-free, oh oh oh oh yeah

See there it is (there it is, there it is)
That ungrateful shit (you see what I'm talkin' 'bout)
There you again, bein' worse, um yeah
Like you earned somethin' round here
But let's be clear, I'm not doing this shit for nothing

I pay the car note, light bill, house note
What you think, this shit's for nothing?
You're not workin'
So what more you want?

You got two seconds, pack your shit and get on outta here
Gotta go, gotta go baby
You don't appreciate what a man like me is about
No you don't
And you know I'm workin' 9 to 5
Workin' hard everyday baby (listen)
Even put my name (put my name)
Even served my day (served my day)
Down for some overtime, yeah

See there you go (there you go, there you go)
Tryin' to run the show, oh, you don't pay my car note
Pay my light bill, pay my house note

(No no no no) I'm not doing this shit for nothing
I pay the car note, light bill, house note
What you think, this shit's for nothing?
You're not workin', so what more you want?

I'm not doing this shit for nothing
I pay the car note, light bill, house note
What you think, this shit's for nothing?
You're not workin', so what more you want?

I'm not doing this shit for nothing
I pay the car note, light bill, house note
What you think, this shit's for nothing?
You're not workin', so what more you want?
