[00:00.66] (THIS IS A TRUE STORY)
[00:14.58] Loretta, wrote a love letter to a stranger thought that he would change her life
[00:21.97] Thought she would be his wife OH Loretta
[00:27.12] Never ever meant him no danger, her love for his sustained her
[00:32.67] Thought that he would change her life
[00:36.21] Miss Loretta, a young girl, I never really met her,
[00:39.67] A fun girl, a real go-getter, I heard a gold Jetta
[00:42.89] A full with books & herb or so I'm told, hooked on my every word
[00:45.45] Oh so bold, a love letter cleverly worded in a jacket pocket
[00:51.05] Wrapped inside a platinum locket
[00:53.01] In the shape of a heart with pictures of me
[00:55.40] Had it inscribed, "no us, no him then no me
[00:58.36] She fell in love with the Prince of Bel-Air
[01:01.01] Fantasy was to see me & to be with me there
[01:03.39] So she wrote a love letter to me & then she signed it Loretta
[01:06.22] Said, "I gotta go get him, Will is my Soulmate"
[01:10.64] We gotta be together how could we not be together
[01:13.02] But wait if I send the letter I mean how will I be sure if they give it to him
[01:17.51] What if they don't give it to him, that would ruin everything
[01:20.52] I gotta take it to him myself
[01:43.59] She packed all that she owned into the back of her Jetta,
[01:45.97] her backpack, her cellphone & a love letter
[01:48.59] Most of her stuff was done up with pictures of me on it with a phrase "It's gonna be" on it
[01:55.06] Her mother begging her please come home & then Loretta resenting her
[01:59.09] Leave me alone Ma! I won't leave my destiny unfulfilled
[02:02.59] "You're just jealous be cause Daddy ain't as sweet as my Will",(click)
[02:05.30] To the front gate at NBC, in June & July, backstage at MTV,
[02:09.73] she would drive anyplace that they'd mention I'd be
[02:13.24] Told herself, "strive for love & God eventually
[02:17.72] he would give me to her & her to me, this was meant to be
[02:23.88] 14 months outside every event that I'd be at, she'd still keep missing me
[02:30.47] & now she's getting high with more frequency now
[02:31.97] rage rumbling inside got to be with me now
[02:34.42] then she heard I married Jada, she took her love letter out & wrote down,
[02:37.21] "PS - I hate her."
[03:01.84] Kodak Center, where the Oscars is at, she's sleep getting woke up by the cops in the back
[03:06.13] By a dumpster didn't even greet 'em with fear, grinning ear to ear, said "my husband meeting me here"
[03:11.72] "You know him, he's nominated for his flick 'Ali' & it'll be hell to pay if you pick on me!"
[03:17.17] "Don't put that stick on me!", "Hell no I'm not leaving, get your hands
[03:23.93] off me. Don't make those things click on me"
[03:25.70] Kicking & screaming, "You intervening, this is fate. Mister. What you mean that I ain't?"
[03:27.29] "What you mean it seems like I ain't"
[03:28.69] "Ooh, your like my Mom & our love is gonna survive ya'll hate. God gon' take me to my destiny."
[03:32.49] "Ya'll only seeing one side of me, Will gon' see the rest of me, he gon' see the best of me."
[03:34.72] 'If I could only get him next to me, he gon' bring my blessings to me, I know it."
