[00:21.31]I met this girl
[00:22.25]When I was ten years old
[00:23.76]And what I loved most
[00:24.76]She had so much soul
[00:26.51]She was old school
[00:27.76]When I was just a shorty
[00:28.94]Never knew throughout
[00:29.94]My life she would be there for me
[00:31.87]On the regular
[00:32.87]Not a church girl she was secular
[00:34.24]Not about the money
[00:35.36]Those studs was mic checking her
[00:36.87]But I respected her
[00:37.81]She hit me in the heart
[00:39.18]A few New York *****s
[00:40.05]Had did her in the park
[00:42.04]But she was there for me
[00:43.26]And I was there for her
[00:44.51]Pull out a chair for her
[00:45.84]Turn on the air for her
[00:47.02]And just cool out
[00:47.83]Cool out and listen to her
[00:49.21]Sitting on a bone
[00:50.21]Wishing that I could do her
[00:53.04]Eventually if it was meant to be
[00:54.54]Then it would be
[00:55.35]Cause we related physically and mentally
[00:57.48]And she was fun then
[00:58.67]I'd be geeked when she'd come around
[01:00.72]Slim was fresh yo
[01:01.97]When she was underground
[01:03.37]Original pure untampered
[01:04.74]A down sister

[01:28.83]Now periodically I would see
[01:30.89]Old girl at the clubs
[01:32.05]And at the house parties
[01:33.79]She didn't have a body
[01:34.92]But she started getting thick quick
[01:36.42]Did a couple of videos
[01:37.60]And became Afrocentric
[01:39.12]Out goes the weave
[01:40.24]In goes the braids beads medallions
[01:42.23]She was on that tip
[01:43.30]About stopping the violence
[01:44.73]About my people she was teaching me
[01:46.63]By not preaching to me
[01:47.93]But speaking to me
[01:48.80]In a method that was leisurely
[01:50.18]So easily I approach
[01:51.74]She dug my rap
[01:53.30]That's how we got close
[01:54.92]But then she broke to the West coast
[01:56.60]And that was cool
[01:57.79]Cause around the same time
[01:59.10]I went away to school
[02:00.23]And I'm a man of expanding
[02:01.73]So why should I stand in her way
[02:03.48]She probably get her money in L A
[02:05.54]And she did stud she got big pub
[02:07.48]But what was foul
[02:08.35]She said that the pro-black
[02:09.54]Was going out of style
[02:10.75]She said Afrocentricity
[02:12.13]Was of the past
[02:13.50]So she got into R&B hip-house
[02:14.81]B*** and jazz
[02:16.06]Now black music is
[02:17.18]Black music and it's all good
[02:18.64]I wasn't salty she was
[02:20.01]With the boys in the hood
[02:21.31]Cause that was good for her
[02:22.56]She was becoming well rounded
[02:23.83]I thought it was d**e

[02:57.76]Told her if she got
[02:58.76]An image and a gimmick
[02:59.94]That she could make money
[03:01.25]And she did it like a dummy
