Lyric I Used to Love HER - Common Sense

Lyric Song I Used to Love HER: Verse One

I met this girlwhen I was ten years old
And what I loved most she had so much soul
She was old schoolwhen I was just a shorty
Never knew throughout my life she would be there for me
ont he regularnot a church girl she was secular
Not about the moneyno studs was mic checkin her
But I respected hershe hit me in the heart
A few New York niggazhad did her in the park
But she was there for meand I was there for her
Pull out a chair for herturn on the air for her
and just cool outcool out and listen to her
Sittin on a bonewishin that I could do her
Eventually if it was meant to bethen it would be
because we relatedphysically and mentally
And she was fun thenI d be geeked when she d come around
Slim was fresh yowhen she was underground
Originalpure untampered and down sister
Boy I tell yaI miss her

Verse Two

Now periodically I would see
ol girl at the clubsand at the house parties
She didn t have a body but she started gettin thick quick
DId a couple of videos and became afrocentric
Out goes the weavein goes the braids beads medallions
She was on that tip aboutstoppin the violence
About my people she was teachin me
By not preachin to me but speakin to me
in a method that was leisurelyso easily I approached
She dug my rapthat s how we got close
But then she broke to the West coastand that was cool
Cause around the same timeI went away to school
And I m a man of expandinso why should I stand in her way
She probably get her money in LA
And she did studshe got big pub but what was foul
She said that the pro blackwas goin out of style
She saidafrocentricitywas of the past
So she got into RB hip house bass and jazz
Now black music is black music and it s all good
I wasn t saltyshe was with the boys in the hood
Cause that was good for hershe was becomin well rounded
I thought it was dope how she was on that freestyle shit
Just havin funnot worried about anyone
And you could tellby how her titties hung

Verse Three

I might ve failed to mention that this chick was creative
But once the man got you well he altered her native
Told her if she got an image and a gimmick
that she could make moneyand she did it like a dummy
Now I see her in commercialsshe s universal
She used to only swing it with the inner city circle
Now she be in the burbs lickin rock and dressin hip
And on some dumb shitwhen she comes to the city
Talkin about poppin glocks servin rocks and hittin switches
Now she s a gangsta rollin with gangsta bitches
Always smokin blunts and gettin drunk
Tellin me sad storiesnow she only fucks with the funk
Stressin how hardcore and real she is
She was really the realestbefore she got into showbiz
I did hernot just to say that I did it
But I m committedbut so many niggaz hit it
That she s just not the same lettin all these groupies do her
I see niggaz slammin herand takin her to the sewer
But I ma take her back hopin that the shit stop
Cause who I m talkin bout y all is hip hop
