[Verse 2: Kastro]
These silly✦ bitches got this game twisted
So I don't claim 'em, just bang 'em
Papa✦ raised✦ a playa, so playa, I play her
Mine got hoes that got more hoes than me
So how I look, gettin'✦ hooked,✦ like I ain't got G?
Truly✦ cutie booty✦ big, but that ain't enough✦
And a head make me beg, still that just ain't enough✦
When I don't trust her, bitch be lyin' too much
She be dyin' to fuck me, you be buyin' her stuff, ho
[Verse 3: Yaki Kadafi]
See girlfriend I know, your whole M.O.'s preoccupied with mostly✦
Gettin'✦ clown after✦ clown, town coast to coast, see
I been tryin' to stay away✦ from sluts like you
Got me turned✦ off completely by that sheisty shit that you do
Knew from jump yo' aim
Straight through them spandex, don't front just name
Spots on yo' body✦ for me to touch while you clutch this game
I keep flowin'✦ like H20, it ain't nothin'✦ for me to say
Why you keep actin'✦ like a ho? But there you go
[Chorus: Jazze Pha]
There you, there you go, actin'✦ like a ho
There you, there you go, actin'✦ like a ho
There you, there you go, actin'✦ like a ho

Uhh, when I first met her I told her I was busy✦ all the time
Now she callin'✦ me flippin'✦ like she miss me all the time
How she don't even✦ trip? She got a man at home
You need to stop chasin'✦ dick bitch and raise your son
I'm like "Damn!" We can creep sometime
And you know I'm on the road for like weeks at a time
Girl you're thirsty, and stop callin'✦
While I'm workin'✦ you hurtin'✦ me, All this bullshit is irkin'✦ me girl

Or should I blame it on yo' daddy✦ for all the things that you do?

'Cause there you go, just like a ho, caught in the streets
Like givin'✦ yo' number✦ out to every✦ nigga✦ you meet
I'm tired✦ of the games✦ you playin', so stop playin' (ho)
You hear what I'm saying, you only✦ good for parlayin'
I'm layin' down the rules,✦ this a game that you lose
So the streets can have you baby,✦ 'cause I stay on the move
[Chorus: Jazze Pha]
There you, there you go, actin'✦ like a ho (There you go!!)
There you, there you go, actin'✦ like a ho (Actin'✦ like a real ho)

Ho! See the word on the streets you're a
Ho! Just a groupie on a world tour
Ho! Now I found out for myself✦ you're a

[Outro: 2Pac]
There you go baby✦ girl, that's the story✦

Critic Analysis
RAPLEDGER BAROMETER™

"Papa raised a playa, so playa, I play her"

① The emcee was raised to be a man who is good with women (player).② The act of utilizing the term 'player' to create a homophonic transition into the verb 'play her,' signifying the manipulation of the subject.

"Gettin' hooked, like I ain't got G?"

① Becoming emotionally attached or 'caught' in a relationship.② Using 'hooked' in the sense of being caught on a fishhook, juxtaposed with the 'G' (gangster/thug) persona who is supposedly too savvy to be ensnared.
