No Problem! I LOVE this song lol

Yea the lyrics are confusing at first... Stokley is a very good clever songwriter...

I think the song is about a guy tired of dealing with his girl playing games, going back and forth and doesnt really know what she wants. He saying that he insists shes missing out on a good thing and something real. So he askes questions and her cheatin ass cant answer them.... the chorus is SOOO creatively done. Im sorry Im rambling now I just love the Mint lol

What about the way you love me? Is it enough, cause ain’t no trust?
What about the things you did to me? Snoopin’ around, checkin’ if I’m steppin’ out?
It’s the deeds not the words..baby can’t you see, I’m the real thing.
Now you’re sayin’ how you need me, & that you’re gonna change,
But baby it’s too lil’ too late.


I just cannot go on……
Just don’t understand what you want…..
So I’m walkin’ out, the door…the door..
Too through doin’ this back & forth…& forth…


I hate it when you try and talk to me…
When you’re on that narcotic, getting’ home from your midnite frolic.
Everybody sees how you do me, they come to me…they say you’re always actin’ like you’re free…
But you know you ain’t free, free…
Girl this ain’t how no love should be..
So why you publicly put pee pee on me..
This thing we got is up and down,
So it’s time for me to check on out, too many bouts, too many doubts, girl you’re up to no good..




No more hesitation…
On the confirmation…
Of the cancellation…
Of our relations…

ME TO! I love their music and they seem really nice. I really would love to see them live... To be honest, I had never heard of them before coming to the org... so thankful I got exposed to them... I havent listen to a song yet that I was less than satisfied with...

I see alot of their live clips and can only imagine how it is in person. They appear to be very entertaining live. Ive watched clips and was unaware that Stokley plays multiple instruments live.

Is that Stokleys material work? I dont think Ive listened to that. I havent listen to alot of his solo material work mostly Mint Condition but I will definitly check it out. Its hard to find his solo songs because their so scattered. Like this song is from the Phat Girlz soundtrack... before knowing who Mint Condition was I had no idea this was him.. I like this song..

This song fast became one of my favorites on ELife once i took the time to listen

to it. Listening to the first minute of it you would think it's just okay. When i saw

them last summer on Jill Scott's block party tour, i heard them outside the venue

rehearsing this song and So Fine and i said yeah they go rock this song here.

It was just a tease. They didn't even play it during the show. MC had to perform

a 30 to 40 minute set on this tour because of all the guest DJ's Jill had in between

sets along with Anthony Hamilton. I'll never go see them live again on this type

of tour.

Don't laugh at my funk
This funk is a serious joint

See, that's what I was telling you on my thread a few weeks ago about the Mint. Don't see them when they are on the bill with other artists. You got to go see them when THEY are the headliner. You get an hour and a half, at the least, of enjoying the majority of their songs live. nod You literally feel like they are singing the song to you personally, just for you. mushy And most of all, what I love about them is that, you never get the same concert from them. Every single show I've seen them, they changed up the songs they sung or sung different ones from when I saw them last. I just love them love

I will forever love and miss you...my sweet Prince.
