Yo,
9
I knew this girl named Alana with mad persona
10
She delt with reality never fed it to the drama
11
I met her through my nigga named Jermaine Palmer
12
Who knew her through his peoples by the Baltimore harbor
13
Alana was a Marylan' thurough and attractive
14
Shorty that's relaxed with me and kickin back
15
Wif a phat flick to cool out
16
Was stressed cause the game'll make you wanna pull a tool out
17
And go the old school route
18
But all-a that cease - when that piece checkin the jewel out
19
A bruver was charged - light a spliff and listen to the dabarge
20
Let the shorty hit me wif a massage to annoint
21
Lubricatin my maridian points that was the Summer easy to remember
22
Alana was all up on - to read the gender how I used to back bender
23
She even told her best friend Blinda from Virginia
24
Who asked me if I had a cousin I could recomend-a
25
But as time float on we grew more mature - and further apart
26
When I began to do tours, we lost contact
27
And slowly parted - reminissin of when it started
28
It keep me feelin heavy hearted - a stolen moment periodic
29
Addicted to her presence like a narcotic
30
Though I wonder if she ever got it - the hypnotic
31
That faded like a dream sequence that pursuaded
32
Beyond being infatuated - spiritually intoxicated
33
Comps are dated - I concentrated
34
On how to get in touch with her
35
Cuase the fact of the matter remain that I miss the hypnotic
36

Driftin ------- (driftin)
45
I would begin to dial -
46
Her number but knowin it's been awhile it's hard to link
47
I figure what she probly think and soon start to drink
48
Fightin the feelin I'm concealin apparently I first appealin
49
Later revealin to be deeper - resistance increasingly weaker
50
The essence of life is more than just mic's and puffin reefa
51
This universe of Black Thought that I can teach ya
52
I'm tryin to touch ya only if I can reach ya
53
I hit this kid I sign up on his beepa
54
And ask him if a had a chance to speak ta
55
Jermaine Palmer who fathers a preacha
56
To make the story short me and my man soon ran
57
Into each other von the humble at a show in San Fran
58
I said "Yo Palma, when did you last see Alana"?
59
He offer me a seat and attempts to make me calma
60
When he began to break it down my mind start to wander
61
Response beyond somber incredible crushed
62
Kinda feelin on my shoulder - that of a boulder
63
To find out that her life was over - it made the room feel colder
64
I thought I could get wif her when she was a little older
65
But she a victim of the wicked system that controlled-a it's all chaotic
66
But if my life it's symbolic forever shadow on my mental I never forgot it
67
Yo the psycotic, the hypnotic check it out the Most Melodic hypnotic

Driftin
