HOW TO TELL IF YOUR MA N IS ON THE DOW N LOW
Lyrics by Anthony Antoine - Produced by Anthony Antoine and Jimmy George
*no homophobia, no down low – played backward*
Chorus
How to tell if your man is on the down low
Girls listen closely so you’ll know
You ask cause you feel its your right to know
How to tell if your man is on the down low
How to tell if your man is on the down low
Inquiring minds they wanna know
Tell em Anthony Antoine told you so
How to tell if your man is on the down low
Verse 1
Listen closely ‘cause I’m gonna list all the signs
Even the ones not so obvious easy to find
Gots to be clever read between the lines
It ain’t my topic just a sign of the times
Sign one the basics always hold true
If your man looks better than you
Spends more time in the mirror than you
Just might be a sign for you boo
Sign two I’m gonna break it down truth be told
If a man never married and he forty years old
Has a roommate no kids and he forty years old
Lawd, here we go
Get yourself a gay friend to peep him out
Gay man gaydar is better no doubt
If you find out the truth don’t scream and shout
Just check yourself and put his lyin’ ass out
Chorus

Verse 2
Don’t be fool just because a brotha goes to church
There’s a whole bunch of DL brothas up in church
Suspect the least obvious that’s how it works
Advice take it or leave it for what its worth
And another thing you must peep out his crew
If any of them are catty with you
A little too chummy or just don’t like you
Might be another sign for you boo
If you gonna do the damn thing do it
How you gonna be a detective and then can’t prove it
Follow him twenty-four seven gotta catch him do
Go ahead and lose your mind in order to prove it
If he too into Janet or Beyonce
Too many hours at the gym or makes a mean flambé
Can’t pass the pillow test after he wakes up
‘Cause what straight man wears make-up
Chorus
