| Mummy i saw one day | |
| She was on some fume vapors | |
| Givin' me lip so i continued with the caper | |
| Cat litter had me sniffin | |
| Since outside the palace | |
| Eyes sicker than aids | |
| Game harder than a callous | |
| Tried to enter in her shit | |
| She had locks on the session | |
| Tellin me how her last man | |
| Taught her ass a lesson damn | |
| Well, i'm not the mayor | |
| I take care of my dimes | |
| But i excluded i had nickels | |
| Addin' up to her kind | |
| Short stacks with a wristful of jewels | |
| Sayin she didn't need a man | |
| To make her out for a fool | |
| Dig it, miss, my love is credited in cupid account | |
| And if you need that extra help | |
| Gigglin, figurin' i had jokes for her humor | |
| Then she broke out with the words | |
| About knowin all the rumors | |
| "see, all you niggas rappin be like pedigree dogs | |
| Thinkin you can have me leashed | |
| Around your microphone cords" | |
| Somethin 'bout her lit me up like july | |
| And with them onions in the pants | |
| I couldn't help but cry | |
| Seemed lost in the essence | |
| But i had to find my way to take | |
| Action for the digits just to set up a date | |
| Thought my shinin was on | |
| I had the skirts in the bag | |
| Until i took a bit of time | |
| To peep the price on the tag | |
| She said "i'm that salt and pepa | |
| Who like pushin it to sisters | |
| You need to get to walkin with it mister, | |
| I think you betta listen" | |
| [listen all you fellas, here's what good love is] | |
| [listen all you fellas, the kind she understands] | |
| [listen all you fellas, then you won't have to worry no no more] | |
| [listen all you fellas, you betta listen] [you betta listen] | |
| We was at some outside jam one saturday night | |
| When this pretty ass girl got locked in my sight | |
| She was a ghetto philosopher | |
| Yeah you know the type | |
| Thinkin' mary j. and sade understood her strife | |
| Caught me lookin', "yo what's cookin?" | |
| "nothin' from around here | |
| So don't approach or hope | |
| To be the man of the year" | |
| I said listen deer or rabbit or whatever the hell you be | |
| I'm not the one to embarrass | |
| But the one to emcee | |
| I traveled the world q uarters on my relationships | |
| Used and abused by hoes | |
| So my royalty stubs | |
| But above all | |
| I brought my daughter into this earth | |
| So i understand the need | |
| Of women feeling of worth | |
| She glanced deep in my eyes | |
| And said "oh shit, you're ill | |
| I like the way your mind | |
| Moves around at will | |
| Still, let me apologize for soundin so sassy | |
| But you niggas act as if my ass | |
| Has a sign that says harass me" | |
| Her name was gail from the union of dale | |
| I made her remove the shades | |
| So her eyes could tell me the plan | |
| Yo where's your man? | |
| "oh that nigga's past tense, | |
| Painted bruises on my face | |
| Haven't seen him ever since" | |
| Gave a pinch to my bottom | |
| And started rubbing my back | |
| She said "i bet your ass is darker | |
| Than a mobb deep track" | |
| Only one way to know it, | |
| And i was down to show it | |
| So we jetted back to my crib to set it | |
| She made it known | |
| "i've owned thoughts of you | |
| Since that song 'meeny-meeny' | |
| Can't believe you're about | |
| To be all up in between me" | |
| Man, the flag was lowered | |
| So my wood was raised | |
| Followed a shielding of my building | |
| To protect me from the blaze | |
| This granted access to | |
| Southern parts of her borders | |
| Did you have her comin'? | |
| Like the new world order | |
| I caught her with the right combination | |
| A good combination | |
| Keepin' it in her hard, man | |
| You betta listen | |
| [listen all you fellas, here's what good love is] | |
| [listen all you fellas, the kind she understands] | |
| [listen all you fellas, then you won't have to worry no no more] | |
| [listen all you fellas, you betta listen] [you betta listen] |
