Verse 2
come on
(E minor) I met this girl when I was ten years old
(A major) An d what I loved (C major) most,
she had so much soul
(E minor) She was old school when I
was just a shorty
Never (A major) knew throughout (C major) my life
she would be there for me
On (E minor) the regular, not a church girl,
she was secular
(A major) Not about (C major) the money,
them studs was mic-checkin' her
her
(E minor) But I respected her,
she hit me in the heart
(A major) A few New York (C major) niggas had did
her in the park
(E minor) But she was there for me,
and I was there for her
(A major) Pull out a chair (C major) for her,
turn on the air for her
And just (E minor) cool out, cool out,
and listen to her
(A major) Sittin' (C major) on bone,
wishin' that I could do her
(E minor) Eventually if it was meant to be,
then it would be
(A major) 'Cause we related, (C major)
physically and mentally
And she (E minor) was fun then,
I'd be geeked when she'd come around
(A major) Slim (C major) was fresh, yo,
when she was underground
(E minor) Original, pure, untampered, a down sister
(A major) Boy, I (C major) tell you, I miss her

Verse 4
Now (E minor) periodically I would see
Ol' girl at (A major) the clubs,
an (C major) d at the house parties
She didn't have (E minor) a body,
but she started gettin' thick quick
Did a couple of (A major) videos and
(C major) be came Afrocentric
Out goes (E minor) the weave, in goes the braids,
beads, medallions
(A major) She was on (C major) that tip about
stoppin' the violence
(E minor) About my people she was teachin' me
By not preachin' (A major) to me
but speak (C major) in' to me
In a method that was leisurely,
(E minor) so easily I approach
She dug (A major) my rap,
(C major) that's how we got close
But then (E minor) she broke to the West Coast,
and that was cool
(A major) 'Cause around the same (C major) time,
I went away to school
And I'm a (E minor) man of expandin',
so why should I stand in her (A major) way?
(C major) She probably get her money in LA
And (E minor) she did stud, she got big pub,
but what was foul
(A major) She said that (C major) the pro-black was
was goin' out of style
She said, (E minor) "Afrocentricity was of the past"
So (A major) she got into (C major) R&B, hip-house,
bass, and jazz
(E minor) Now black music is black music
and it's all good
(A major) I wasn't salty (C major) she was with
the boys in the hood
(E minor) 'Cause I was due for her,
she was becomin' well-rounded
I (A major) I thought it was (C major) dope how she was on
that freestyle shit
(E minor) Just havin' fun, not worried about anyone
An (A major) d you could tell by how her
(C major) titties hung

(E minor) might've failed to mention that this chick was creative
(A major) Once The Man (C major) got to her,
he altered her (E minor) native
Told her if she got an image
and a gimmick
That she could (A major) make money,
(C major) and she did it like a dummy
Now (E minor) I see her in commercials,
she's universal
(A major) She used to only (C major) swing it with
the inner-city circle
circle
(E minor) Now she be in the burbs,
lookin' rock and dressin' hippie
(A major) And on some (C major) dumb shit when
she comes to the city
Talkin' (E minor) about poppin' Glocks,
servin' rocks and hittin' switches
(A major) Now she's (C major) a gangsta rollin'
with gangsta bitches
(E minor) Always smokin' blunts
and gettin' drunk
Tellin' me sad (A major) stories,
(C major) now she only fucks with the funk
(E minor) Stressin' how hardcore and real she is
She (A major) was really the realest, (C major)
before she got into showbiz
(E minor) I did her, not just to say I did it
But I'm com (A major) mitted (girl, he's
(C major) committed)
But so many niggas hit it
That (E minor) she's just not the same
lettin' all these goofies do her
(A major) I see niggas (C major) slammin' her
and takin' her to the sewer
(E minor) But I'ma take her back,
hopin' that the shit stop
(A major) 'Cause who I'm talkin' (C major) about,
y'all, is hip-hop (B minor)
