i need a man lyrics

[Intro: Foxy Brown (M) {7 Aurelius}]

(I just need a...) Yo 7, this is Fever man! Yes, indeed!

This is another Ill Na Na production

Ill Na Na, Def Jam baby, all the way, yes!



From the streets of BK, to the streets of Long Beach, Compton

LA, Los Angeles, y'know, California {[whispers] Aurelius 7}



[Chorus: M (Foxy Brown)]

I just need a, I just need a man

(Back up in New York City, the strong streets down in H-Town)

Strong and understands

(To the Windy City of Chicago, Chi Town)

All my life's demands, all my loving

(To the city of brotherly love, Philadelphia)

I just need a, not jealous of me

(Down in the Sunshine State, Miami)

Loves me for just me

(This is how we do it baby!)

Tellin' you the real is that I need a..

(C'mon, yeah, yes!)

I just need a..



[Verse One: Foxy Brown (M)]

Homie, look, what you sellin' I ain't buyin'

With dude I'm done, tell him I ain't cryin'

You'll see the proof when I drop my album

It's the past now, plus dawg I'm better without him

(I just need a....) dude that act right

If my life go dim, he can be my flashlight

Not the rebound dude who abused his last wife

A dude that ain't afraid to lose the mack life

and you don't got to question if he truly care

A little, dinner here, movie there

and he won't treat his wifey like his last whore, see

Is that too much to ask for?

But, I'm wiser now, I'm older now

and the truth is a need a man to hold me down

And by now most dudes know what "Na Na Be Like"

so this time when I'm doing it, I'm doin' it right, yes!



[Chorus: M (Foxy Brown)]

I just need a, I just need a man (woo!)

Strong and understands (Ill Na Na baby)

All my life's demands, all my loving (yeah! yes!)

I just need a, not jealous of me (oh)

Loves me for just me

Tellin' you the real is that I need a..

I just need a..



[Verse Two: Foxy Brown (M)]

The dread straight jealous of mine

I put him on, you would think he would relish the time

But he didn't, kept fibbin' and kept his feelings hidden

Intimidated, slowly the love disintegrated

It's, (I just need a...) like I'm driving

making a wrong turn, woo

I need stability, something that's long term and

maybe a dude with no kids

But, he get deported I'm troopin' his whole bid now

(I just need a....) a dude that respect his moms

Ain't afraid of the marriage or pushin' our baby carriage, whoa

I come home and he runnin' my bath

Late nights, stressed out but he makin' me laugh and [laughter]

(I just need a....) a dude that my brothers approve

A thorough man by my side, if I win or I lose

But, if I'm cool or I'm spazzin', we still a team

dubbin' hard in the dancehall bashment



[Chorus: M]

I just need a, I just need a man

Strong and understands

All my life's demands, all my loving

I just need a, not jealous of me

Loves me for just me

Tellin' you the real is that I need a..

I just need a..



[Verse Three: Foxy Brown (M)]

Built for the struggle and he, move with integrity

Can handle my celebrity

A dude that's in love with Inga, respect Fox

and put a blue stone on my finger

(I just need a...) and cry with me, if we fight, we fight

but if I'm right, if I'm wrong, I'm right

and, homie look, what you sellin' I ain't buyin'

With dude I'm done, tell him I ain't cryin'



[Chorus: M (Foxy Brown)]

I just need a, I just need a man

(Now ladies throw ya hands up high)

Strong and understands

(And tell 'em niggas no longer we gon' cry)

All my life's demands

(And this a new year now)

All my loving

(Y'all don't have to fear now, 'cause ya girl Fox here now)

I just need a, not jealous of me

(So throw ya hands up high)

Loves me for just me

(And tell these niggas no longer we gon' cry)

Tellin' you

(And this a new year now)

the real is that I need a

(Y'all don't have to fear now, 'cause ya girl Fox here now, yes!)

I just need a..



[M (Foxy Brown)]

Lookin' for a thug oh baby, baby, baby (Yo 7, this is Fever man!)

I just need a..

I'm just lookin' for a thug oh baby, baby, baby

I just need a...
