Uh (Go on, girl), we getting started
Coming to break you off (We getting started, started)
(We getting started, we coming to break you off)
Coming to break you off (We getting started)
Coming to break you off (We getting started, started)
(We getting started) Yeah, baby

Bad Misses, throwing raspberry kisses on me
You looking for direction?
Girl, I feel your vision on me
Just don't let him see you sweatin'
We ain't supposed to be involved
Knowing when we get it off, girl, I mean it all
Keeping you fiending to get taken and tossed
And when I'm breaking it off
It's no denying the fact it's wrong
'Cause you got a man who's probably playing his part
You probably breaking his heart
He tryna figure the reason you gone
Is it because he's superficial, or is he too submissive
Or did I come along and hit you with the futuristic?
Or is it 'cause you really couldn't see a future with him?
All he about is paper, never took the time with you to listen?
You want it gripped up, flipped, and thrown
And get stripped and shown the way to get in the zone
The cost, dealing with this you won't be takin' a loss
You need to leave him alone
And roll with the one who breaking you off (For real)
(We getting started, uh)
Coming to break you off (We getting started, started)
(We getting started, we coming to break you off)
Coming to break you off (We getting started)
Coming to break you off (We getting started, started)
(We getting started) Yeah, baby
(Coming to break you, uh) Off
(Come on, work with me)
Coming to break you off
(Come, work with me, come , work it out)
Coming to break you off (Come, work it out, come, work with me)
Coming to break you off (We getting started, we getting started)
Yeah, baby (Coming to break you off), oh

I be the brother down the hall, the one you bound to call
Workaholic, so really I'm rarely around at all
What we started got serious, repercussions and cost
We had a chance to turn back, but love, that was lost
Late nights, twisting something listening to Niecey sing
She got the beat for you, telling me you deeply appreciate the company
Time we spend, I feel the same
It's a shame you ain't my girlfriend (My girl)
'Cause listen, you need a brother with that physical fix
That come through in a mix for you with no head tricks or fraud
You need a new position, and who can get you open like it's Eucalyptus
Have you ready to go for yours
Come on and work with me, you won't get hurt with me
Just keep it real and you'll get broken off certainly
Dealing with this you won't be taking a loss
You need to leave I'm alone and roll with the one who breaking you off
(Come on, girl)
(We getting started, yeah)
Coming to break you off (We getting started, started)
(We getting started, we coming to break you, what)
Coming to break you off (I'm getting started, girl)
Coming to break you off (I'm getting started, started)
(I'm getting) Yeah, baby
(We coming to break you, come on) Off
(Come on, work with me)
Coming to break you off
(Come on, work it out, come on, work it out)
Coming to break you off (Come, break it off, come on, we getting started, what)
Coming to break you off (We getting started, we getting started)
Yeah, baby (Coming to break you, uh), oh

Rolling down the highway, listening to Sade sing
The way the smooth operator move my way
You sitting beside me, looking like Friday Foster
Pam Grier structure, look at your body
Keep each other thirsty, kisses like Hershey
But lips is sealed 'cause we don't need a controversy
I say I'm in town, you say you want it in the worst way
You probably told your man it was Jamila birthday
Meanwhile, the champagne chill in the ice
You ready for the freakiest things you done in your life
We breaking down like we road dogs pulling a heist
You making sounds like the vibe got you reaching your height
Prepare for flight, this is your captain, I'm getting strapped in
There's no denying the strength of this attraction, girl
Working with this you won't be taking a loss
So stop fooling your man and roll with the one who breaking you off
We getting started
Baby, baby, baby, don't you worry 'bout (Oh baby)
Nothing 'cause I'm coming to handle you, no doubt
Whenever you want that thing you need (I got it)
I got it and I aim to please (Baby)
So I'm coming over to give it to you
Baby, baby

(For real, we getting started, girl)
Coming to break you off (We getting started, started)
(We getting, we coming to break you, come on)
Coming to break you off (Come on, work with me, we getting started)
Coming to break you off (Check it out, we getting started)
Yeah, baby
(We coming to break you, come on) Off
(Come on, work with me)
Coming to break you off
(Uh, work, come on, work it out)
Coming to break you off (Uh, break it off, we getting started)
Coming to break you off (Uh, say what?)
Yeah, baby (Coming to break you), ooh

Coming to break you off (Come, break it off, come on)
