When we first met she was so addict
ive I sit and reminisce about all the times we
kicked it I remember
when she gave me my first kiss
The older brothers want me sure
these dangerous.
She'll get you caught up
in the game if you let her
I thought they was just jealous cuz she
liked me much better.
We had good time.
She was so fine. I fell in love
I thought she was all mine.
She had me smoking cigarettes
an d drinking brew
Introduced me to all
the shady nig gas.
She knew I heard rumors how she
got niggas locked up in shot
But they ain't got what we got.
She's my girl people. I knew
told me she's a player
My uncle tried to put me on,
he said he used to date her
She's a freak,
him and his homeboys used to gang bang her
But she convinced the kid that
he's just another hater
He don't know
what we got going on
A love like ours is too strong
Looking at my life as it seems
Looking at my life as it appears
Reality is such a pain
Now keep your vision stick clean
Hold your head up, you know how it goes
In these streets
So much they've done to me
I thought I knew her well,
but I had much to learn
It wouldn't be too long
before she got me burned
It started off small, smokin' weed,
dippin' school
She was the love of my life,
I was one of her fools
We was tight for a minute,
then the mid -80s came
She put me up on armed robbery
and the dope game
She said, boo, I'll always be loyal to you
But now I'm shootin' at niggas
that say they fuck with her too
She taught me violence was the way
that most problems get solved
Now we always at odds, and
Popo gets involved
Now I'm locked up in a
concrete rectangle
How did I get caught up
in this love triangle?
She claimed that she still loved
me and we'll rock to the end
But on the low,
she fuckin' around with my best friend
If I keep goin' at this rate, I'll lose my mind
I guess my love is deaf,
dumb, and blind
She's all
Lookin' at my life as it seems
Lookin' at my life as it appears
Reality is such a bitch
I keep your vision stickly
Hold your head up, you'll know how it goes
In these dreams
Ooh, yeah
So much you've shown to me
You gotta keep the faith,
you gotta walk your place
I said it's time to face these
dreams
So glad, so glad I've grown to see
Yeah, well
These
Now we've been down for years,
damn near two dozen
I don't think of her the same way,
so now she want my little cousin
I'm trying to school her youth,
and I'm really hoping
He hearing what I'm saying,
for she get his nose open
Because before you know it, shorty,
how you sucked in
With her ageless beauty,
this queen of seduction
She told him she could get him ice,
a truck with rims
Best believe she'll fuck him and his friends,
they'll end up in the pen
Most of my boys that dealt
with her got no less than ten
When my uncle was talking,
I wish I was listening
But you know how it goes,
had to learn the hard way
I got lucky, my man got thirty
-five years in a day
Others,
six feet under the earth they lay
I guess that's the game,
if you play, you pay
So, mothers cry and grandmothers pray
Take my advice and stay the fuck out of the way,
she's no good
Looking life as it seems,
looking at my life as it appears
Reality is such a bitch,
I keep your vision stick clean
Hold your head up, you know how
it goes in these dream s
Ooh yeah,
so much you've shown to me
You gotta keep the faith,
you gotta walk your place
I said it's time to face these dreams
Oh yeah, baby, so glad,
so glad I'm old to see, yeah
Well, no, no, no
In these streets, yeah, yeah, yeah
In these streets, so glad,
so glad I'm old to see, yeah
Well, say, look what it's done to me
Well, still yeah, well,
well, well
Ain't told that so that
I won't dozee
Nah, nah, nah
Yeah, baby, yeah
Oh, yeah
Don't, don't, don't,
don't, don't, don't
Don't act, don't act now, act, now that I'm all doozy
You
