Jay-Z actually paid Ice-T off for using his “99 problems...” line as he was the first to say it, so with that in mind I feel like I’m within my rights to flip that idea. Another celebration of loving, loyal, trusting, caring monogamy - not the general consensus of rap content over the years.
lyrics
Been married since 2012
So if you're having girl problems then I'm happy to help
You need to stop being a selfish dickhead
Start considering that other people have feelings instead
Not least the girl you're spending your time with
If you're not a kind person you deserve to find shit
Your missus is not the ball and chain
If you find her nagging annoying then you're the pain
Do something that needs doing without being told
And you might find your happiness increases twofold
And heavens above, this is said, never enough
If you're a jealous person you're not ready for love
It's ok to need time just for you
But if you make plans and break them and substitute
Some other activity that doesn't involve her
You'll find those warm hugs you get, getting colder
Went from breaks up to great love all by myself
So if you're having girl problems then I'm happy to help. What?
I friggin’ manage it well
If you're having girl problems then I'm happy to help
Monogamy's for professionals you amateurs melt
So if you're having girl problems then I'm happy to help
Haven't been in the dating game since 2008
I can't say any choice I made before that was great
Single life is difficult, deffo no picnic
But what the fuck are you trying to achieve with a dick pic?!
Rappers are deffo the worst
Chatting promiscuity on an un-necessary verse
It's generally dirge
I've met enough rappers, most converse awkwardly
Gonna make moves when you can't talk normally?
She might be fooled by that bad boy crap for a bit
But anyone that hangs around too long is prolly a dick
You're trying to find a diamond and you're shovelling dirt
But with a spoon for a shovel and not putting in work
Most can see what you're worth - what do you offer?
A dole dosser who writes poems - you know you're a tosser
You can be worth summat and have nowt, that is achievable
But if you're having girl problems have you tried being agreeable?
I friggin’ manage it well
If you're having girl problems then I'm happy to help
Monogamy's for professionals, you'll damage yourself
So if you're having girl problems then I'm happy to help
“Ooo monagamy's an outdated concept
We should be free to explore as long as there's consent”
Well that's all fine, depending on the context
But once you've had your summer of love, then what's next?
Who do you trust? Who's got your back? How is your life?
Everybody's got a team and now you're on the outside?
There has to be physical attraction I get that
But you gotta see her with no make up, with flu and in sweat pants
And think you're the luckiest guy on planet earth
If you haven't felt that feeling yet, man it can occur
Loyalty and trust are superb, and that's your word
There's nothing better than knowing there's nothing you haven't heard
So give honesty a go, and empathy a chance
It's mostly instinct that wants you emptying your pants
(Whose world is this?)
It’s meant to be a man's
But it'd be nothing if I'd never been with Ange
I friggin’ finished it great
If you're having girl problems there's some tips you can take
Monogamy's for professionals, we're killing it off
If you're having girl problems well that's shit cos I'm not
