Somebody Else Bumped Your Girl

Freddie Foxx


[verse 1] 
Did you ever have a girl and you thought she was it 
To find out in the long run she ain't even shit 
Dress her up nice sport her all over town 
And then behind your back she likes sleepin around 
She's steppin out late while you're home in bed 
To another brother kickin bass all in her head 
You're layin there lookin at her photo in frame 
And you're chirpin like a bird while you're singin her name 
You call her every night, then you're off by 10 
When you hang up the phone, she hits the road again 
Sad what i'm sayin, but it's gotta be true 
Everybody knows your girl better than you 
But what i'm sayin is this: you said she'd never do wrong 
You met her at first, she did a dancin song 
Said "i'll stay with you forever and brighten your world" 
Face it, somebody bumpin your girl 

Somebody else bumped your girl 
And the thought of it wrecked your world 
Somebody else bumped your girl 
It makes you mad, don't it? 

Somebody else bumped your girl 
And the thought of it wrecked your world 
Somebody else bumped your girl 
It make you ill, won't it? 

[verse 2] 
I met this kid named jesse on my way uptown 
Sittin on the train, on his face was a frown 
I said "my man, what's the matter?" then he started to sweat 
Said "my girl left the crib, and she didn't come home yet 
Foxxx, i'm hurt, sad as could be 
Cause everytime she leaves, she always calls me 
But i ain't heard a word, i'm worried to death 
I can't understand why she up and just left" 
"how long has it been?" he said "about six days 
And man, i did a lotta prayin, and i hope that it pays" 
I looked him in his face, told him "don't be a cad 
Cause ain't a girl in the world, it's insanity, mad 
You better start thinkin and preparin your heart 
Cause if you hear the wrong thing, you'll be torn apart" 
Jesse stood up, the train came to a stop 
Had a look on his face like he was about to pop 
I said "so what's up?" then he looked in my grill 
Kinda like i look myself when i'm bout to get ill 
He was lookin on a platform, right by a can 
His girl lockin lips with another man 
Jesse broke stupid, and pulled out a tool 
And started lickin off like a crazy fool 
The brother went rambo, actin wild 
And shot sixteen people at the turnstyle 
The girl got sick when she saw blood flowin 
The brother she was with did a jesse owens 
I couldn't believe the brother ruined his world 
All because somebody else bumped his girl 

Somebody else bumped your girl 
And the thought of it wrecked your world 
Somebody else bumped your girl 
It makes you mad, don't it? 

[verse 3] 
Now i'ma tell you all a story bout my man jim stone 
Who had a three-floor mansion and a yacht of his own 
He had enough money, but what capes the cake 
He had the baddest girl in about 10 states 
All about he ever talked about was lovin his girl 
And how he'd never touch another in the whole wide world 
Jim got the nerve, wants to buy her a ring 
And when he put it on her finger, she was ready to sting 
The brother had a party at his crib one night 
Had the place laid out, and the music was hype 
About 100 people, i would say, no less 
Freddie foxxx ain't stupid, i can knowledge a mess 
I noticed his girl, she kept grinnin a lot 
She was hangin round the fireplace in this one spot 
She looked like she was waitin for a train or a bus 
She was waitin for jim's best man, his boy gus 
Gus got slick, took the girl by the hand 
And dipped the step like the bionic man 
I stood there shakin my head, i had a flashback 
Bout what happened uptown by the traintracks 
Jim came over and he said to me "fred 
I got a real bad thought bumrushin my head" 
I said "so what's the matter?" then he looked at me twice 
And said "i can't find my best man gus or my wife" 
Jim was on a mission, i could look in his eyes 
And see the meter on his blood pressure startin to rise 
He headed up the steps and i followed behind 
And i could tell by his face he had death on his mind 
He stood by the room and the door was cranked 
Then he took off his shirt, and then we both stepped back 
Jim kicked the door open and he stuck in his head 
And saw gus and his wife both naked in bed 
Jim grabbed a bat, and i tell you the truth 
He was swingin homeruns like my man babe ruth 
He left em both layin there, stiff as a board 
And he turned to me and said "freddie foxxx, i scored" 
Two accounts murder one, now he sits in his cell 
With a life-long sentence and a story to tell 
I couldn't believe the brother ruined his world 
All because somebody bumped his girl 

Somebody else bumped your girl 
And the thought of it wrecked your world 
Somebody else bumped your girl 
It makes you mad, don't it? 

Somebody else bumped your girl 
And the thought of it wrecked your world 
Somebody else bumped your girl 
It make you ill, won't it? 

(you mean that's it?)
