[00:15.88]9th grade, young female teachers almost every day to me
[00:19.08]That's when I wore the high top fade and curly frees with bravery
[00:22.25]Cause the gangstas say it ain't the way to be
[00:23.90]But all of the women hella thought it was savory (mhmm)
[00:25.44]In my Guess fit, popular, you guessed it,
[00:28.56]Hip-Hop dance and rapper, and the talent shows, I blessed it
[00:31.82]Hardly rode the bus home cause I stayed after,
[00:34.35]Displayed laughter with the greyed passer
[00:35.86]I'm a lay master and everybody know that I'm a bae catcher
[00:38.28]Walking home on cloud nine, a hundred percent man about mine
[00:41.43]Then I crossed the way, there was a grown man
[00:42.99]Stopped at a red light hella on shout time, he said "hey!"
[00:45.41]When I looked I was thinking that I hope this person
[00:47.10]Ain't pistol happy
[00:47.92]Then right before he drove off,
[00:49.07]The man blew a kiss my way and then he whistled,
[00:50.87]I'm like, "mother-"
[00:52.00]Then he sped off, I was thinking man

[00:55.78]Walking, I was almost home, I kept dipping
[00:57.31]Got home, then I asked my mama why did he say hey at me
