[Chorus]
Please excuse✦ my attitude,✦ sorry✦ if I'm being rude
But I've got something✦ to say to you
Hoping✦ you won't lose your cool
I wanna✦ sneak you out to play with me
You can spend the day with me
And we can ride and see the sights
It's going down tonight✦
[Verse 2: Scarface]
Reminiscing on the bitch that I had back in the day
Gave the bitch a call and she hung up in my face
Now that's the breaks
She didn't have to put up a front
I stuck that ass back in there
And haven't called✦ her for 3 months
I guess it's in me to be doggin'✦ a chic
Can't understand how you niggas✦ just be hogging your bitch
Go on and pass her, unass✦ her, send her to the master✦
Let her take a ride with the Bradster
It cool, don't front ..ooooh, no sex
No sweat-not even✦ on my mind-we just met
And furthermore, we can get to those
But for now, I'm rolling 'Raris spitting✦ this to hoes:
[Chorus]
Please excuse✦ my attitude,✦ sorry✦ if I'm being rude
But I've got something✦ to say to you
Hoping✦ you won't lose your cool
I wanna✦ sneak you out to play with me
You can spend the day with me
And we can ride and see the sights
It's going down tonight✦
[Verse 3: Scarface]
Now I'm cruisin' to the crib with this bitch that I scooped
Parked✦ my Ferrari, now I'm back in the coup
I knocked✦ her boots - your baby's mama✦ put me to work
I tagged✦ that ass from the back, and knocked✦ her shit in the dirt
She wanted✦ me badly✦ so I put it inside✦
She got the (front, back, and side to side)
Back and forth with the gangster glide
Started off at 6 and didn't finish till 9
Hit the showers like I been out playing ball for the Knicks
Now she's asleep, cause she just had her drawers full of dick
(now that's sick) and plus she got you staying at home
With the kids all alone✦ while she's gettin'✦ her fuck on
So believe me when you downin'✦ the Brad
I'm at the pad with your baby✦ mama✦ clowning that ass
So player hatin'✦ niggas✦ check the bitch you chose
I'll be mobbing in my 'Benz spitting✦ this to ho's:
[Chorus]
Please excuse✦ my attitude,✦ sorry✦ if I'm being rude
But I've got something✦ to say to you
Hoping✦ you won't lose your cool
I wanna✦ sneak you out to play with me
You can spend the day with me
And we can roll and see the sights
It's going down tonight✦

Verified Doubles & Entendres

"Go on and pass her, unass her, send her to the master / Let her take a ride with the Bradster"

① A dismissive instruction to relinquish control of a partner ('unass her').② A play on his own name 'Brad' (Brad Jordan) transforming into 'The Bradster' as a self-aggrandizing title of authority.

"Now that's the breaks"

① Common vernacular for accepting a negative situation or misfortune.② A subtle nod to hip-hop culture's foundational history (Kurtis Blow's 'The Breaks'), grounding the track in genre legacy.

Commanding vocal presence and conviction

Seamless integration of internal rhymes

Naturalistic, unforced storytelling

Limited metaphorical range

Some thematic reliance on dated misogynistic tropes

Lack of complex narrative subtext
