A friend of mine (Which one?) Cecilia
|
(Yeah?) has a man (so?) a dealer
|
(Which one?) Born - Born Supreme
|
You know the type (Yeah, I know what you mean)
|
Gold and cars (cars and gold
|
The more he got, yo, the more he sold
|
He told her he loved her (Huh, gased her head)
|
Her love he bought just to warm his bed
|
I tried to tell her, but it went out the other ear
|
She didn't wanna hear, what I had to say
|
She just replied this way
|
(Girl, I love him, he treats me so good
|
He gets much respect in my neighborhood)
|
I cram to understand why she wants this man
|
(Yo, he sold the crack to Sam...)
|
|
[ CHORUS ]
|
(I used to be in love...)
|
But not with a dealer
|
(I used to be in love...)
|
I know how it feels
|
(I used to be in love...)
|
You make love while he makes deals
|
|
The story gets worse, they threaten her life
|
A guy walked on her (Yo, come here) with a knife
|
And said (Being with Born is a big mistake
|
It's a shame your life I have to take
|
If you leave him now, you'll be alright
|
If not, you won't make it through the night)
|
She came to me and said (Lyte, what do I do?)
|
Forget about Born, or else you're through (Ahh...)
|
She said (But, but I love him!) Hm, I wonder
|
Is love worth bein six feet under?
|
Nope (And that's on the real tip)
|
I think it's time you skip
|
Town (Hey girl, don't hang around
|
Or else you'll be goin -)
|
|
[ CHORUS ]
|
|
Miss C said (No, I'm stayin with my man
|
He stands by me, so I too must stand)
|
Girl, you're stupid, you're gonna take a fall
|
( *phone rings* ) and then she received a call
|
(Hello? Listen, baby, they got a contract on me
|
I know because Brian warned me
|
I'm outta here, goin back to Cali
|
Grab your stuff and meet me in the alley)
|
She grabbed her stuff, the gold and the cash
|
Headed for the door in a flash
|
She said (I'm outta here) Now wait just a minute
|
You know he's a dealer, his windows are tinted
|
(Naw) He has truck jewelry, and no job
|
(So?) Carries ducats in ??? (So what?)
|
Now hell the hell does he get these things?
|
(I don't know!) The Gucci, the Louis, the Polo rings
|
(Yeah?) Dealers are bad news, take it from Lyte
|
They say they kill you, and they might
|
(You're right, Lyte, you tell no lie
|
Just let me go say good-bye)
|
She ran down the stairs in a minute or more
|
I heard a thunderous roar
|
( *shots* ) Born and Cecilia - killed by Uzis
|
See why it pays to be choosy?
|
|
[ CHORUS ]
