She says it’s all about amounts and where ya’ goin’
Her attitude could take a bit out of the concrete
Don’t tell her sometin’ that she already knows kid
She’s left many men in puddles of their own embarrassment
Time after time, watched guy after guy
Get dissed and rejected, she don’t even give the time
Whenever I look her way I feel like I’m goin’ blind
I lean against the wall and I gotta ask why
-
Chorus
How could someone make ya’ feel so high,
and at the same time treat ya’ so low
It was somethin’ I could see in her eye,
she wasn’t the one to chill and settle
Can’t blame a women for not wantin’ a man
togo screwin’ up her master plan
So don’t think ya mean a god damn thing,
to this girl, in this world
-
Upon a packed house wrapped in midnight sheets
Cigarette smoke twirled around the light bulb gleam
Well I pace slow through the crowd like a dull daydream
Dumbfound oblivious to what was rollin’ through the entry
She passed me by, whistlin’ a tune from Pharcyde
Without thinkin’ twice I approached, “Excuse me miss, I believe
It’s been some months and long days since I could summon the stomach to tell ya’ Flowers wait and anticipate the day
With false hopes to blossom and match the beauty you obtain
Thunderstorms contend your strength, the earth moves for you
Well night after night, together we spend our time
Usually at her crib cos’ she doesn’t dig mine
I make most of the phone calls, I can’t lie
She gots me where she wants me and that’s screamin’ out loud
-
Chorus
Her daddy always told her, “In awhile, girl, in awhile, girl”
Society sold her to the stylish heards, to the stylish heards
Wish I meant a god damn thing to this girl in her world
-
It ain’t my place to speak or point a finger and preach
Cos’ as a male I don’t know your shoes, whatever you choose I got ya’ back and both ya’ sides
And if ya’ need to leave, get ya’ space and breathe
I can support that too, but not without tears and ink drippin’ to kill the pain
Child it’s no game, so I say
-
Whether a year, or a one night thang
Satisfaction’s fast and always switchin’ up lanes
She doesn’t care to push the gas, hit the breaks, slow down or accelerate for anybody other than herself
Ya’ call it cold, snobby, or arrogant, and deny that you’re ignorant to face a female’s independence
Well after week five of the boyfriend jive, she said a committed relationship isn’t worth her time
I said, “Queen that’s coo, I don’t wanna hold ya’ down
Ya’ got two wings, now I understand why
-
Chorus
She’s more than the apple of your eye with a short skirt and make-up in purse
I question what’s the truth and what’s a lie if we don’t respect her, mother of earth
Until I mean a god damn thing to this girl, I’m not sure
