Yeah, this song is for brothers who got mouthy women
I'ma tell you what to do if you follow the rules
These are the rules of engagement
So as you listen to this song
I want you to sit back, relax
Bye, bye-bye, bye-bye, bye-bye
Don't ask me why, why
Bye, bye-bye, bye-bye, bye-bye
Don't ask me why
When your lady actin' up and she actin' a fool
Pay attention, little homie, this is what you should do
First, get a bag when she sleep in the bed
Then wash all your clothes, better be quiet, I said
Get to packin' up your shit, make sure your money is good
All your clothes and your special belongings, forget you would
Leave the movies and the furniture, the pictures and food
New destination, never need nothin' to mess up the mood
Gather your things smooth, let her sleep in the groove
'Member be quiet 'cause don't let her hear what you do
And there is nothin' for you to prove, don't even call up your dude
'Cause he could be a spy, you know how it is when they're cool
Now put the car in neutral, roll it out to the street
You gots to be so discreet when you makin' your retreat
And if you are on your feet, then call a cab on the corner
But if you got you a sale, then tap a head on the soldiers
I said now bye, bye-bye, bye-bye, bye-bye
Don't ask me why, why
Bye, bye-bye, bye-bye, bye-bye
Don't ask me why
Bye, bye-bye, bye-bye, bye-bye
Don't ask me why, why
Bye, bye-bye, bye-bye, bye-bye
Don't ask me why, you know what it is
Now you ready to roll, ready to go, come on
And as you get away, praise Allah, we're gone
No more fussin' and cussin' and bussin' the dishes and fightin'
No more arguin', brawlin' and stallin' and brawlin' and cryin'
Where are you? When are you? Is you or ain't you a man?
No more cheatin' and creepin' and stickin' with your man
No more attitude, mad at you, bad at you, sad that you you
No more latitude, bad as you, mad as you, glad that you flew
No more callin' the po-po and lyin' and you in jail
No more callin' the collect, tryna beg her for bail
So now you free as a bird, word, what should you do?
Gotta make sure you got some identification, stay cool
Stay true to yourself, nobody else will help
Now get a room for the week to go to sleep in the 'tel
Turn the phone off, you the boss, it's her loss
And just remember to say your prayers and all
And after that, say
Bye, bye-bye, bye-bye, bye-bye
Don't ask me why, why
Bye, bye-bye, bye-bye, bye-bye
Don't ask me why
Bye, bye-bye, bye-bye, bye-bye
Don't ask me why, why
Bye, bye-bye, bye-bye, bye-bye
Don't ask me why
Next thing that need to happen, get an apartment that's cheap
Don't even answer her calls, balls, and don't be weak
And she'll say anything to get you, even say that she's sick
But homeboy, don't believe that shit
Next thing is forgive her without tellin' her that, that, that
Now get a place to regroup and go get you a hat
And get an outfit and a suit and go to the place of your choice
But make sure you don't take your boys
After you mingle, you are single, let it come to you
Real women recognize real men, this is true
Get your game on, show her you as smart as a whip
And if the woman you left calls, don't answer, bitch
Yeah, these are the rules of engagement
You don't need to sit around and listen to the yap, yap, yap, yappin'
The this, this, that, and the other
Young brother, take a message from me
Bye, bye-bye, bye-bye, bye-bye
Don't ask me why, why
Bye, bye-bye, bye-bye, bye-bye
Don't ask me why
Bye, bye-bye, bye-bye, bye-bye
Don't ask me why, why
Bye, bye-bye, bye-bye, bye-bye
Don't ask me why (Only the realest move like that)
No more arguin', cussin' and bussin' the dishes and fightin'
Bye, bye-bye, bye-bye, bye-bye
Don't ask me why, why
Bye, bye-bye, bye-bye, bye-bye
Don't ask me why
Bye
Don't answer the phone, baby, don't answer the phone
That's her on the line, she callin' you
Blockin' her number, cuz
This goes for women too
If your dude is actin' up, you know what you need to do
And that's just the way it is, man
It's worldwide, man, worldwide, baby
Worldwide ride, holla bye
They ain't gon' like this
