F*ck that nigga



Whoa



I'm sorry, let me calm down

Quit trippin' let me breathe

Ok, I'm alright now



She got a whole lot of nerve, walk past me without sayin' a word

Cat on her arm, look like a nerd

Tell me that aint your new man



Chorus



So that ya new boyfriend?

I'm truthfully not impressed

I see that ya had to, settle for second best



So that ya new boyfriend?

Better tell him to quit steppin'

'cause I'd hate to have to, hurt, your new man



She walkin' through the club with this cat, gossin' to all her friends

Got her drinkin on dope crystal and, guess the nigga got ends



Now I don't mind her findin someone else, no that aint the case

But she came to the club knowin' I was gonna be here

so she could front that nigga in my face



That shit aint right!

Yeah yeah yeah



So they pulled up to the spot in a convertible seven fourty five



Yeah yeah yeah



That nigga like eight feet tall, and I'm chillin' at about five nine



Yeah yeah yeah



Black credit card with no limit and I'm knowin' he be hittin it



So what?



If I really wanted that

I'm bettin' I could get it back



Chorus



So that ya new boyfriend?

I'm truthfully not impressed

I see that ya had to, settle for second best



So that ya new boyfriend?

Better tell him to quit steppin'

'cause I'd hate to have to, hurt, your new man



.. they walkin' hand-in-hand

She got a brand new man, understand, I'm really not givin' a damn

But she, got him walkin' dressin' like me

And if I had the chance most likely, I would whoop his ass discretely

Case of jealousy



Chorus



So that ya new boyfriend?

I'm truthfully not impressed

I see that ya had to, settle for second best



So that ya new boyfriend?

Better tell him to quit steppin'

'cause I'd hate to have to, hurt, your new man



So that ya new boyfriend?

I'm truthfully not impressed

I see that ya had to, settle for second best



So that ya new boyfriend?

Better tell him to quit steppin'

'cause I'd hate to have to, hurt, your new man

Yo New Man

Ne-Yo's 'Yo New Man' stands as a defining track from his early solo career, capturing the confident swagger of a young artist navigating the transition from R&B prodigy to pop icon. Released during a pivotal era for the Atlanta-based singer, the song exemplifies the smooth, melodic R&B style that became his signature, blending soulful vocals with an upbeat, danceable rhythm. As a standalone recording that did not appear on a specific studio album, the track served as a significant standalone release, showcasing his ability to craft catchy hooks and romantic themes that resonated with a broad audience. The song reflects the polished production trends of the late 2000s, where Ne-Yo's voice became synonymous with a specific sound that bridged the gap between traditional R&B and mainstream pop. Its enduring appeal lies in its infectious energy and the clear articulation of a new romantic perspective, cementing Ne-Yo's status as a leading figure in the genre's evolution during that period.
