[01:07.83]The impact pushed back twenty five rows
[01:10.56]But before the raw live shows
[01:12.48]Come on I'se a little snot-nosed
[01:14.55]Rockin' Gazelle goggles and Izod clothes

[01:19.18]Peepin' out the situation I had to slide through
[01:21.93]Had to watch my back my front plus my sides too

[02:15.57]Yo yo I was speakin' to my guy 'Riq and
[02:17.85]How she was desperately seekin'
[02:19.16]To organize in a confusion
[02:20.54]Usin' no protection told her on resurrection
[02:23.45]Caught in the Hype Williams
[02:24.82]And lost her direction
[02:26.10]Gettin' ate in sections where I wouldn't eat her
[02:28.63]An under the counter love so silently I treat her
[02:31.41]Her daddy'll beat her eyes all Puffed
[02:33.87]In the mix on tape niggaz had her in the buff
[02:36.51]When we touch it was more than just a f**k
[02:38.76]The Police in her I found peace like who
[02:40.67]Like Malcolm in the East
[02:41.99]Seen her on the streets of New York trickin' off
[02:44.59]Tried to make a hit with her but my dick went soft
[02:47.20]Movin' weight losin' weight not picky
[02:48.72]With who she choose to date
[02:50.08]To confuse the hate
[02:51.13]With her struggle I relate
[02:52.43]Close to thirty most of the niggaz she know is dirty
[02:55.19]Havin' more babies than Lauryn
[02:56.52]She started showin' early
[02:57.64]As of late I realized that this is her fate
[03:00.28]Or destiny that brings the best of me
[03:01.91]It's like God is testin' me
[03:03.32]In retrospect I see she brought life and death to me
