1
[Chorus: x2]
2
If you were worried 'bout where
3
I been or who I saw or
4
What club I went to with my homies
5
Baby don't worry you know that you got me
6
Somebody told me that this planet was small
7
We use to live in the same building on the same floor
8
And never met before
9
Until I'm overseas on tour
10
And peep this Ethiopian queen from Philly
11
Taking classes abroad
12
She studying film and photo flash focus record
13
Said she workin' on a flick and
14
Could my click do the score
15
She said she loved my show in Paris
16
At Elysee Montmartre
17
And that I stepped off the stage
18
And took a piece of her heart
19
We knew from the start that
20
Things fall apart, intentions shatter
21
She like that shit don't matter
22
When I get home get at her
23
Through letter, phone, whatever
24
Let's link, let's get together
25
Shit you think not, think the Thought went home and forgot
26
Time passed, we back in Philly now she up in my spot
27
Tellin' me the things I'm tellin' her is makin' her hot
28
Startin' buildin' with her constantly round the clock
29
Now she in my world like hip-hop
30
And keep tellin' me
31
[Chorus: x2]
32
Yo, I'm the type that's always catchin' a flight
33
And sometimes I gotta be out at the height of the night
34
And that's when she flip and get on some 'ol
35
Another lonely night
36
Seems like I'm on the side you only loving your mic
37
I know you gotta get that paper daddy keep that shit tight
38
But yo I need some sort of love in my life, you dig me
39
While politicin' with my sister from New York City
40
She said she know this ball player and he think I'm pretty
41
Sike, I'm playin' boo, you know it's just wit you I'm stayin' boo
42
And when cats be poppin game I don't hear what they sayin' boo
43
When you out there in the world, I'm still your girl
44
With all my classes I don't have the time for life's thrills
45
So when you sweatin' on stage think of me when you rhyme
46
And don't be listenin' to your homies they be leavin' you blind
47
Yeah, so what you sayin' I can trust you?
48
Is you crazy, you my king for real
49
But sometimes relationships get ill
50
No doubt
51
[Chorus: x2]
52
That snake could be that chick
53
And that rat could be that cool cat
54
That's whispering "she tryin' to play you for the fool Black"
55
If something's on your chest then let it be known
56
See I'm not your every five minutes all on the phone
57
And on the topic of trust, it's just a matter of fact
58
That people bite back and fracture what's intact
59
And they'll forever be I ain't on some "oh I'm a celebrity"
60
I deal with the real so if it's artificial let it be
61
I've seen people caught in love like whirlwinds
62
Listening to they squads and listening to girlfriends
63
That's exactly the point where they whole world ends
64
Lies come in, that's where that drama begins, she like
65
[Chorus]
66
"We're not against rap, we're not against rappers
67
What we are against is those thugs"
