Verse One: Phife Dawg Went to Carvel to get a milk shake This honey ripped me off for all my loot cakes The car oh yeah there's money in my jacket Somebody broke into my ride and cold macked it Yo tip I tell you man the devil's tryin it But I'm goin to stay strong cause I ain't buyin it Tonight I'm taking Sherry out, I don't have jack to wear You know I gots to look dipped in the fresh new gear Cool I found something so I ironed it I then got caught up on the phone, oh shit I'm fryin it Will someone tell me what did I do to deserve this? I think I'll, pull out my suit for Sunday service My little brother wants Barney, cool I'm gettin it Took him down to Kay-Bee, they ain't sellin it Here we go with the cryin, yo he's throwin fits My blood pressure's blowin up, I can't take the shit Finally got what he wanted now he's good to go Again the ride was smashed, where's my radio? One time the car was in the shop I had to borrow see... They had no mercy on the car they almost killed me Where the hell can Nicki be? I'm gonna smack her up I got the tickets for the Knicks and she cold stood me up I need to hit a honey off, Jarobi pass the phone Pulled out my book of hoes, oh yo Sheila's home Steady smilin like a mother yo I'm read' to bone Went down to hon, she's in the red zone Stressed out more than anyone could ever be Forever tryin to clear the samples for my new LP Everybody knows I go to Georgia often Got on the flight and I ended up in Boston With all these trials and tribulations yo I've been affected And to top it off, Starks got ejected Refrain: Phife Dawg Problems, problems, problems, woe is me I'm havin problems, problems, problems..
