[Intro]
  Are you ready for me?
  Better let me know
  Are you ready for me?
  Better let me know
  Are you ready for me?
  Better let me know
  You'd better, you'd better do whatever's clever baby
    [Verse 1]
  How can you be down?
  you gotta do whatever's clever
  So that I will stick around
  you gotta do whatever's clever
  And you don't want to waste your time
  you gotta do whatever's clever
  You gotta go somewhere you gotta do whatever's clever
  If you wanna step to me
  You gotta do whatever's clever
  So I'll listen carefully..
  You gotta do whatever's clever
  You gotta say whatever, hear whatever, mean whatever, hear whatever,
  Feel whatever, think whatever do whatever's clever
    So you want to roll with me,
  Here's advice that you should heed
  Common sense is all you need
  To avoid my thunder
  First of all talk to my face
  Not the view below my waist
  How we gonna conversate
  While your head's down under?
  Stop where are you going
  If you were in my shoes, what would you say?
  Stop, this is worth knowing
  So a brother can't lose if he steps my way.
  Stop where are you going
  If you were in my shoes, what would you say?
  Stop, this is worth knowing
  So a brother can't lose if he steps my way.
    [Chorus repeat]
    Here's a very simple truth
  "Monkey see is monkey do"
  So you're never getting through
  If your boys are busters
  Finally please understand
  All I have is by my hand
  On my own I'm making ground
  I am my own woman.
  Stop where are you going
  If you were in my shoes, what would you say?
  Stop, this is worth knowing
  So a brother can choose if he steps my way.
  Stop where are you going
  If you were in my shoes, what would you say?
  Stop, this is worth knowing
  So a brother can't lose if he steps my way.
    [Chorus repeat]
  [Intro repeat (x2)]
