Romeo (O.k. Parents Just Don't Understand)
3L Dub, babay, uh
Nick Cannon, yeah
[Nick Cannon]
Ah, ah
[Lil' Romeo]
You know parents are the same no matter time or place
They don't understand that us kids are gonna make some mistakes
So to you, all the kids across the land
There's no need to argue, parents just don't understand
[3lw]
Nah, Nah
They don't understand
They ain't gonna get it (o.k)
No, no, if you feel me (o.k)
feel me, feel me, feel me
[Nick Cannon]
Peace Out
[Lil' Romeo]
I remember one year
My mom took me school shopping
It was me, my brother, my mom, and my pop, and my little sister
All hopped in the car
We headed downtown to the Gallery Mall
My mom started bugging with the clothes she chose
I didn't say nothing at first
I just turned up my nose
She said, "What's wrong? This shirt cost $50"
I said, "This shirt is whack and it's not worth this dollar!"
The next half hour was the same old thing
My mom buying me clothes from 1993
And then she lost her mind and did the ultimate
I asked her for Assistant and she bought me Skips!
I said, "Mom, what are you doing, you're ruining my rep"
She said, "You're only a kid, you don't have a rep yet"
So to you all the kids across the land
There's no need to argue
Parents just don't understand
[Chorus]
Nah, Nah (c'mon)
They don?t understand (na ah, they don?t understand)
They ain't gonna get it
No, no, if you feel me
(Holla all you kids all across the land)
Nah, Nah
They don?t understand (na ah, they don't understand)
They ain't gonna get it
No, no, if you feel me
(Holla all you kids all across the land)
[Nick Cannon]
Peace out
Oh-kay, undid the situation
My mom's bounced out for a week's vacation and
She left the keys to the 5 double-o
Would she mind
Well, how's she gonna know
I'll just give tha Benz a little spin
And see what it looks like with 20 inch rims
Then I be the man in my neighborhood
Well, maybe I shouldn't
Yeah, of course I should
Payin' attention, cuz the plot is hot
Yo, I pulled the whip up to the end of the block
That's when I saw this dyme piece starin' at my grill
My diamond rings glarin from tha steerin wheel
Then she tried to pretend like she ain't noticed Nick
So I blow a kiss like I know this chic
"Um, was that for me?"
Yeah, you know it hun.
Come take a ride with the young Billy B. William
"How do I know you're not sick?
You could be some kind of lunatic"
"Aw, c'mon sugar, it's Nick from Nick,
besides would a lunatic push a whip like this?"
Nah, Nah (c?mon)
They don?t understand (na ah, they don?t understand)
They ain't gonna get it
No, no, if you feel me
(Holla all you kids all across the land)
[3lw]
I agree that we were on our way
He was lookin real good so we brought our Mustang
Who's car is this?
I'm a little curious
[Nick Cannon]
So I smashed on the gas
Fast and furious
[3lw]
Wasn't impressed with the way he burned rubber
The car phone rang
[Nick Cannon]
"Yo, who is it?"
[3lw]
"Your mother"
[Nick Cannon]
On the phone wielin', the way my mom sounded
[3lw & Nick Cannon]
There was no way to avoid being grounded
[Nick Cannon]
I can't believe it
I just made a mistake
Well, parents are the same no matter time or place
[3lw & Nick Cannon]
So to all you kids
Across the land
Take it from me
Parents just don't understand
(Chorus x2 to fade)
