My name is Tyrone and I LOVE this song!! In fact I use it as my ringtone. And when someone meets me and I tell them my name, they ALWAYS sing it! And the ladies love it also....LOL
@teeman9266 Why be embarrassed. The song isn't about Tyrone being a bad person. Tyrone is obviously a nice guy .. So nice that he is the one to call when a person needs a ride, and who will help a friend move out of an angry ex-girlfriends house.. We need more Tyrones in the world..
damn skippy the part with 'girl askin for money, boy askin for some ass' & 'she gotta pay for him and his homeboys'
- see, guys think they can control us and make us do whatever they want, they treat us like dogs.. but what yall dont know - we bite back ;) so watch your moves!
Why doesn't anyone make good music like this anymore???? I hope i'm not the only 15 year old with this opinion.......I wish there was music with meaning in it.....this one is saying "I'm tired of your mess." But a song nowadays would say "You and yo fishy ass tramp get the fuck out of my life, or I'm a get Dequonde on ya ass!"
@ilovemj3796 I'm with you, I'm 17. But good music is still there...but not on mainstream anymore...I miss 90s when Erykah,Lauryn etc. were at the top.
I can't even listen to most music without wondering: "What the hell did he say?/ Whats the meaning of this song?" Lil Wayne's rap...poetry? Pfft, nursery rhymes put him to shame, all the time
My dad was right, music definitely lost its touch after the 90's, those songs really meant something to me. Someone, PLEASE STEP UP AND BRING MUSIC TO THE WORLD
I hope we can come to a time when people don't need to say their white and like 'african-american music'. I hope that sense of exclusivity between the races break down, especially in a setting such as music where neutrality and commonality is expected.
@peterirwin1 No disrespect, but I honestly hope that never happens. Why are people so intent on everyone on the earth being the same? I love that we're all human but very different from each other at the same time.
@mpope409 Sorry man, and to anyone that in any way found my comment objectionable. I don't at all wish for all music to have one homogenous sound. I just wished that no one felt like they needed to jump over a high wall to listen to music of a different sound/ setting, a different culture. Peace.
This song works both ways. I'm tired of hearing bout you can't make rent again this month. I think you better call one of your other lovers...I'm "spent"
Why people are tearing the sing up and changing th real meaning of it. She tired of his shit, tired of payin for everything but he never got nothing to help but have the nerve to ask her for some ass. Get off ur ass get a help and help #pointBlabkPeriod GET UR SHIT RIGHT. She aint being used no more
@d33pS3Ad1v3r Dude, she wants him to stop being a lazy ass, stop just hanging around so much with his annoying friends, start working and spend some more time with his woman.. I can't even understand how you interpreted the song that way...
Of course. The overall theme is materialism. Primarily that she'd have more sex with the dude if he gave her cash, and bought her shit. But as it is, he doesn't buy her enough shit...so his friends hanging out at the house is unacceptable as a consequence.
Primarily.
This is nothing new for mainstream american music.
it's quite clear. she uses money, or the lack thereof, as a qualifier for allowing him to fuck her cooch.
if he was more forthcoming with money, she would happily 'give up the ass'
comprehension skills aren't your strong point. but maybe english isn't your first language, or perhaps you are clinically brain-dead. either way it's OK. you wouldn't be the first moron to sign up to youtube.
@Rasbiff She denies him the right to "fuck her in the ass" because she's tired of always pleasing him and never getting anything in return. "Cus ms Badu's always coming for real, and you know the deal, n-....". The materialist side of it, that he never buys her anything, do exist but it's definitely not the MAJOR theme in this song. She's tired of having to do everything for them both, paying his bills and drinks, and he just expects more and more from her. It's about respect, not materialism.
