Verse 1 [Fantasia]:
Really gon' make me expose you for exactly what you are

And as hard as you try, to hide reality, while, we know the truth
So act brand new if you want to

But what would you be, without me
What would you be, without me
So what you blowin' up just a little
They knowin' you a little
Don’t give a finger in the middle
Cause lil n---a you will never be
Without me
Where would you be without me
So what you blowin' up just a little
They knowin' you a little
Don’t give a finger in the middle
Cause lil n---a you will never be
Oh na, na, oh na
Oh na, na, oh na
Oh na, na, oh na
Oh na, na, oh na
Verse 2 [Kelly Rowland]:
Tell me that you make big moves
But tell ‘em what you really do
Do you really wanna play this game
Faking shit will kill you
Boy I know the real you
Faking shit will kill you
Boy I know the real you
You should tell ‘em what you're really like
Tell ‘em you ain’t 'bout that life
I put you on, and let you shine
Now you so fly, shit blows my mind
Oh, oh

And as hard as you try, to hide reality, while, we know the truth

So what you blowin' up just a little
They knowin' you a little
Don’t give a finger in the middle
Cause lil n---a you will never be
Without me
Where would you be without me
So what you blowin' up just a little
They knowin' you a little
Don’t give a finger in the middle
Cause lil n---a you will never be
Rap [Missy Elliot]:
Boy you think I’m stupid
What you think I'm clueless
You keeṗ chasin' them girls
Boy you get the deuces
I’m sick of yo excuses
Without me how can you do it
Do bad all by myself
N---a yo dick useless
Dude I don’t need your s**
(your sex)

(the next)
You frontin' man, you stuntin' man
You worser than my ex
Ha Ha Ha Ha Ha

We know the truth boy, keep it one hundred
