9
Mummy I saw one day
10
She was on some fume vapors
11
Givin' me lip so I continued with the caper
12
Cat litter had me sniffin
13
Since outside the palace
14
Eyes sicker than aids
15
Game harder than a callous
16
Tried to enter in her shit
17
She had locks on the session
18
Tellin me how her last man
19
Taught her ass a lesson damn
20
Well, I'm not the mayor
21
I take care of my dimes
22
But I excluded I had nickels
23
Addin' up to her kind
24
Short stacks with a wristful of jewels
25
Sayin she didn't need a man
26
To make her out for a fool
27
Dig it, miss, my love is credited in cupid account
28
And if you need that extra help
29
Gigglin, figurin' I had jokes for her humor
30
Then she broke out with the words
31
About knowin all the rumors
32
"See, all you niggas rappin be like pedigree dogs
33
Thinkin you can have me leashed
34
Around your microphone cords"
35
Somethin 'bout her lit me up like july
36
And with them onions in the pants
37
I couldn't help but cry
38
Seemed lost in the essence
39
But i had to find my way to take
40
Action for the digits just to set up a date
41
Thought my shinin was on
42
I had the skirts in the bag
43
Until i took a bit of time
44
To peep the price on the tag
45
She said "I'm that salt and pepa
46
Who like pushin it to sisters
47
You need to get to walkin with it mister
48
I think you betta listen"
49
[Listen all you fellas, here's what good love is]
50
[Listen all you fellas, the kind she understands]
51
[Listen all you fellas, then you won't have to worry no no more]
52
[Listen all you fellas, you betta listen] [you betta listen]
53
We was at some outside jam one saturday night
54
When this pretty ass girl got locked in my sight
55
She was a ghetto philosopher
56
Yeah you know the type
57
Thinkin' Mary J. and sade understood her strife
58
Caught me lookin', "Yo what's cookin?"
59
"Nothin' from around here
60
So don't approach or hope
61
To be the man of the year"
62
I said listen deer or rabbit or whatever the hell you be
63
I'm not the one to embarrass
64
But the one to emcee
65
I traveled the world q uarters on my relationships
66
Used and abused by hoes
67
So my royalty stubs
68
But above all
69
I brought my daughter into this earth
70
So I understand the need
71
Of women feeling of worth
72
She glanced deep in my eyes
73
And said "oh shit, you're ill
74
I like the way your mind
75
Moves around at will
76
Still, let me apologize for soundin so sassy
77
But you niggas act as if my ass
78
Has a sign that says harass me"
79
Her name was gail from the union of dale
80
I made her remove the shades
81
So her eyes could tell me the plan
82
Yo where's your man?
83
"Oh that nigga's past tense
84
Painted bruises on my face
85
Haven't seen him ever since"
86
Gave a pinch to my bottom
87
And started rubbing my back
88
She said "i bet your ass is darker
89
Than a mobb deep track"
90
Only one way to know it
91
And i was down to show it
92
So we jetted back to my crib to set it
93
She made it known
94
"I've owned thoughts of you
95
Since that song 'meeny-meeny'
96
Can't believe you're about
97
To be all up in between me"
98
Man, the flag was lowered
99
So my wood was raised
100
Followed a shielding of my building
101
To protect me from the blaze
102
This granted access to
103
Southern parts of her borders
104
Did you have her comin'?
105
Like the new world order
106
I caught her with the right combination
107
A good combination
108
Keepin' it in her hard, man
109
You betta listen
110
[Listen all you fellas, here's what good love is]
111
[Listen all you fellas, the kind she understands]
112
[Listen all you fellas, then you won't have to worry no no more]
113
[Listen all you fellas, you betta listen] [you betta listen]
