Yeah, 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
And say bye, bye-bye, bye-bye, bye-bye
Don't ask me 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 shit, make sure your money is good
All your clothes and your special belongings, forget your bud
Leave the movies and the furniture, the pictures and food
New destination, never need nothin' to mess up the mood
Gather your thangs smooth, let her sleep in the groove
Remember, 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 coo
Now put the car in neutral, roll it out to the street
You gots to be so discrete 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 step ahead on the soldiers
I said bye, bye-bye, bye-bye, bye-bye
Don't ask me why
Bye, bye-bye, bye-bye, bye-bye
Don't ask me why
Bye, and bye-bye, and bye-bye, and bye-bye
Don't ask me why
Bye, and bye-bye, bye-bye, bye-bye
Don't ask me why
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 bustin' the dishes and fightin'
No more arguin', callin' and stallin' and brawlin' and cryin'
No more "Where are you? When are you? Is you or ain't you a man?"
No more fuckin' and cheatin' and creepin' and sleepin' with your man
No more attitude, mad at you, rad at you, sad at you, you
No more latitude, bad at you, mad at you, glad at you, you
No more callin' the po-po and lyin' and you in jail
No more callin' to 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 temp
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
Bye, bye-bye, bye-bye, bye-bye
Don't ask me why
Bye, and bye-bye, and bye-bye, and bye-bye
Don't ask me why
Bye, and 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 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
Now get an outfit and a suit and go to the place of your choice
But make sure you don't tell your boys
After you mingle, you a single lady, come to you
Real women recognize real men, this is true
Get your game on, show her you was smart as a whip
And if the woman you left calls, don't answer the bitch
Yeah
These are the rules of engagement (Yes, indeed)
You don't need to sit around and listen to the yap, yap, yap, yappin'
The this, this, that, and the other
Young brothers, take a message from me
Bye, bye-bye, bye-bye, bye-bye
Don't ask me why
Bye, bye-bye, bye-bye, bye-bye
Don't ask me why
Bye, and bye-bye, and bye-bye, and bye-bye
Don't ask me why
Bye, bye-bye, bye-bye, bye-bye
Don't ask me why
You are the weakest link
No more arguin', cussin' and bustin' the dishes and fightin'
Bye, bye-bye, bye-bye, bye-bye
Don't ask me why
Bye, bye-bye, bye-bye, bye-bye
Don't ask me why
You know what you did
Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah
Keep on rollin', brother
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 that it is, man, it's worldwide, man
Worldwide, baby, worldwide
Bye-buh-buh-buh-buh-buh
