CHORUS:
"Yes, yes yes ya'll and ya don't stop
To the beat ya'll and ya don't stop(repeat)
One, two Common Sense'll be the sure shot, c'mon"

I met this girl when I was ten years old
And what I loved most she had much soul
She was old school and I was just a shorty
Never knew throughout my life she would still be there for me
On the regular, not a church girl she was secular
Not about the money though studs was mic checkin her
But I respected her, she hit me in the heart
A few new york niggas had did her in the park
But she was there for me and I was for her
Pull out a chair for her turn on the air for her
And just cool out, cool out, and listen to her
Sitting on a bone, wishing I could do her
Eventually if it was meant to be then it would be
Because we related physically and mentally
And she was fun then id be geeked when she'd come around
Slim was fresh joe when she was underground
Original, pure, untampered a down sista
Boy I tell ya I miss her

Chorus:

Periodically I would see
Old girl at the clubs and at the house parties
She didn't have a body
But she started getting thick quick
Did a couple of videos and became afrocentric
Out goes the weave in goes the braids, beads, medallions
She was on that tip about stoppin' the violence
About my people she was teaching me by not preaching to me
But speaking to me in a method that was leisurely
So easily I approached
She dug my rap thats how we got close
But then she broke to the west coast and that was cool
Cause around the same time, I went away to school
Cause I'm a man of expanding so why should I stand in her way
She'd probably get her money in L.A
And she did stud, she got big pub, but what was foul
She said that the pro-black was going out of style
She said afrocentricity was of the past
Oo she got into R＆B, hip house, bass and jazz
Now black music is black music and it's all good
I wasn't salty she was with the boyz in the hood
Because that was new for her, she was becoming well rounded
I thought it was dope how she was on that freestyle shit
Just havin' fun, not worried about anyone
And you can tell how her titties hung

Chorus:

I failed to mention that this chick was creative
But once the man got to her, he gone to the native
Told her if she got an image and a gimmick that she could make money
So she did it like a dummy
Now I see her in commercials, she's universal
She used to only swing it with the inner city circle
Now she be in the burbs, lookin rock and dressin' hippy
And on some dumb shit when she comes to the city
Talkin' 'bout poppin' glocks servin' rocks and hittin' switches
Now she's a gangsta, rollin' with gangsta bitches
Always smokin' blunts and gettin' drunk
Telling me bad stories of how she only fucks with the funk
Stressin how hardcore and real she is
She was really the realest before she got into showbiz
I did her not just to say I did it
But I'm committed, "girl he's committed"
But so many niggas hit it
That she's just not the same lettin' all these goofies do her
I see niggas slammin' her and takin her to the sewar
But I'ma take her back hopin' that the shit stops
Cause who I'm talkin bout ya'll is HIP-HOP!
