[Verse]
A7                          
Something to make you ponder
E                                                
The situation's ugly like In Living Color's Wanda
E                                                     
Well everybody play dumb but there's some that succumb

Or fall a victim I will overcome any hurdle or obstacle that's in my path
     A7                                                                  
Fast cash should be the last resort so make it last for the risk you took
                                  E7                                     
Trick you shook your ass for some hundred dollar heels and a designer bag
    A7                  
Now that's ass backwards
                   E7                     
All you got in the frigerator is bratwurst
                            A7                          
Your stomach is balled in a knot you got that phat purse
A                        E7               
Pocketbook stop and look pockets look void
                         A7                                              
Destroyed by the need to indulge and enjoy the finer things in life right
E                                                                             
Your dignity your only sacrifice slim as your chances of being somebody's wife
                                                                   A7   
They seeing ya butt booty naked every night ain't nothing right or wrong

[Verse]
A7                                      
Even though things started falling apart
E7                           
Wanda went and bought a Honda
                                 A7            
Now she's out of a job she would slob on a knob
                                E7                                      
For a little less than a yard a massage you could drill her like a sarge
                     A7 
She would charge and rob
A7                      
Pick through yo' pockets
        A7                                    
She got the tricks watch and the silver locket
     A7                                               
That he bought for his wife but Wanda left her license
   A7                                         
On the night stand fuckin' with this white man
A7                                           
She met in a little red Corvette paid for sex
       A7                                          
Made a deal that she would never forget you can bet
A7                                            
Every action has a positive and equal reaction
                                                      A7          
Therefore everything that goes around comes around in that fashion
                           E                                
Fast and furiously the was a knock on the sliding glass door
E                            
Brothers on the block knowing
           E               
Sisters at the crib knowing


[Chorus]
A7        E7 A E7 E A7 A A7 A E E7 A7 E7        A7     E7
