Met her at a young age
she was selling herself for chump change
just to make a way
mommy used to tell me stay away
she's nothing but a product of the devil
to deconstruct you in every
single way that you let her
but I was a hard head with a hard head
burning with desire simply yearning just to try her
as I'm turning all my tires
towards the dead end driving away from perceptions,
thinking she could be my prescription
I got 99 problems that I live with
and if I had her in my life maybe she could fix them
or maybe she could give me something worthwhile
and kill this loneliness I feel like the first child
and I can't help but look at her smile
and I can't help but take in her smell
maybe someday I'll catch her to herself
and tell her how I really feel because
Hook:I always wanted her to be mines
I thought that the day I got her I would be fine
I always thought she could make the rain delay
and take the pain away and everything would be fine
From a far distance
I played secret admirer eyeing the way
she calmed the nerves of those buying her
she stayed with a pack of a-alikes
but they say every pack ain't the same
so they ain't alike
but I knew she was the best of the best
because her name on the streets rang
more then the rest
they say she was cheap
but you'd enjoy her the best
because her kiss on the lips
was like first step of death
relaxing and kinda like a vaccine
in the way she makes you
forget about whats happening
her love fills your lungs with joy and stress leaves
is that something that you'd like?
yes please.....when can I get my shot?
That's me speaking with my virgin mind
ready for my 1st time with this dime
my homie h-cho introduced me to her
but......I felt I already knew her because
Hook
A few weeks later
I'm sitting at home with a watch
waiting by the phone
she said she'd call by 8 o clock
I'm waiting just to answer
I'm waiting just to ask her
can i be the man in her life?
but time came and went
I didn't hear a thing
I later found out from a friend
that she'd begun a fling
with a new guy
and it really broke my heart
it took a month just to re-piece the broken parts
and get over it, there's more fish in the sea right?
and imma good man
so there's someone meant for me right?
Went to the corner store
after seeing a movie
and met a chick at the register
her name was lucy
