    (Swim in the ocean
    And thoughts remain to sail on the sea, yeah
    What can I do, but what can I do)
    Yo, I try to get it here, get it there, everywhere
    (What can I do, but what can I do)
    So I spit it clear, persevere, interfere
    With the status quo the baddest flow throughout the hemisphere
    There ain't no pretenders here, only real men is here
    If you see a chick she down to ride like she wanna veer
    Better yet the Queen of Sheba, Aretha, Queen Latifah
    I'm the boss like Aneisha Reefa

    Boss? You ain't my boss? Baby
    You don't run shit up in here
    I don't know who the hell you think talkin to
    I'm gonna take that shit and bounce
    I don't know who the hell you think you are
    I ain't got no boss

    See I call her baby like she 3 years old
    When she fully grown so these dudes is pullin' on
    She in the club like a stone cover, fully blown
    Speaking in the girly tone even though you got a attitude
    I can't stay mad at you

    (We'll have our quarrels,) word (and you will upset me,
    Tell me what can I do, but what can I do)
    Nothin', cause if I said that I don't need you I was frontin' so
    (What can I do, but what can I do)
    Nothing, every time you said you leavin' you was bluffin'

    Back in the days I had dreads like Lil Jon
    And got numbers armed with nothin' but a pen and a little charm
    Everything I'm saying be littered with observation
    So I stand up for the dudes with limited conversation
    You looking at a star, it's all in the constellation

    Haha. You ain't no star
    Haha you losing your mind
    I don't know who told you that shit

    She tried to tie me up but she can't tie me down
    She ain't never cried a tear but she cryin' now
    She tried to leave me, coming back 'cause she can't forget me
    I gotta be strong so she can't disrespect me

    (We'll have our quarrels), word
    (and you will upset me, tell me what can I do, but what can I do)
    Uh uh uh uh yea
    (What can I do, but what can I do)
    Uh uh uh yea
    Let's, let's go uh
    Let's, let's go uh
