[D] [A]
[Bm] [A] [G]
[Bm] [A] Girl you know that you need to stop giving [Bm] me this silent [A] treatment baby
[G] You can't do what you [A] mean to [E] me
I wanna love you constantly
[D]
But you keep [F#m] neglecting me, [E] leaving me silent
[D]
Yo, I had a [A] queen named Amina, [B] height 5'7
Karma who collected, body like [D] heaven
[F#m] Met her through the sister of my [G] man Big Vincent
Like something from out the flicks, we been in [E] love ever since
[D] She call me [C#m] her chocolate brother, I call her my sugar sister
[G] Knew shorty could work it since before I ever kissed her
I [F#m] never dissed her, painted my [Bm] picture to hit
But because sex she wasn't with, she started flipping the script
Like listen [A] man, I'm Queen Amina
Amina's not no [G] freaking, that game is weakened
Keep trying to hit, I could quit [D] speaking
Tariq in [A] fact, you being black dog, [B] don't get you closer
I dig your butt, won't bone [D] you because I'm so called supposed to
Most of them [A] would, but that could envy me, [Dm] that's not my [D] flavor
Go home and think about that, maybe later on I'll page her
I [C#] contemplated, and then concluded she was [G#] bluffing
Steady pursuing school and getting nothing but the [Bm] silent treatment
[A] Girl you know that you [E] need to stop giving me this [D] silent [A] treatment baby
[Bm] You can't do what you [A] mean to me
I wanna love you constantly
[Bm] But you keep neglecting [A] me
And keep on me sliding [E] in, sliding in
[Bm] Crazy [A] frustrations about my [B] loving situation
When patience was a virtue but I [E] wasn't used to [Bm] waiting
I want [A] some Marvin Gaye healing, feeling this real inside
I slip [D] and slide, my ride'll keep you occupied
I'd [A] love to get with it like that
But my [Bm] baby's kitty cats, Captain Locke
Love boat is docked at the shore
[A] And what for, later for [Bm] groupies on tour
Why won't my sugar call me no more, I mean
My [A] queen gets upset, rejecting the sexually neglected
[Bm] Saying I'm more sewer than DOS effects and close minded
[C#] It's like I'm blinded [D] by the skinning, I'm into women
Because of that, this one's in communication
[A] Temptation played the vandal, [Bm] freaking my brain, my mind
Ripping the handle on physically scandalous acts
Yo, [A] she knew what I wanted, but she [E] fronted
[Bm] [A] Girl, you know that you have to stop [Bm] giving up this island
[A] Dream of me, [G] can't you see what [Bm] you mean [E] to me
I want it now constantly
[D] But you keep neglecting [A] me
And keep on me sliding in, [G] sliding in
[D] Well, move [A] it right along with this song
Plus the strong feelings [F#m] on my mind
Desire to [D] intertwine, combine and [A] blend
Baby, what's the message that I send?
Ain't no need to pretend, because [Bm] it's real [D] till the end
I provide a [A] place to hide from crime
Hard times and living trite
[E] While I open your mind, you're [D] in my life like love
[A] It ain't no way no one could rise above what's [C#] real
That's why I'm feeling [Em] like you're making [D] me buff
I puff an L on [A] 50 deuce while I walk in [D] the rain
Heart feeling killer pain while I hop the train
Dial a number [A] to the rest and ain't no messages left
Regardless, my [G] chest stumped from stress
Yo, [D] it's a mess
I don't know what [A] I got to do to make you understand
I'm for real and that's no question
[D] No frontin' or no guessing
[A] Undressing, caressing in this band
That I contain in my [C#m] hand
Can touch and make you say that I'm such a [D] man
And call my name
[A] So let me set your body aflame
I never [C#m] treat you like a game or run game
[D] Now who's to blame?
I never [A] said you go for brothers with a lot of dough
[Bm] But I just wanted you to know
[D] [A] Girl, you know that you need to stop [D] giving me the silent night
[A] Dreaming, baby
[Bm] Can't you see what you mean [A] to me?
I wanna love you constantly
But [D] you keep neglecting [A] me
And treating me silently [G] Silently [D] Silently
