I wanna see if y'all up on this hip-hop right here
Two years ago, a friend of mine
Asked me to say some MC rhymes
I said this rhyme I'm about to say
The rhyme was def but then it went this way
Took a test to become an MC
And Orange Krush became amazed at me
Derek put me inside the Cadillac
The chauffeur drove off, where we take 'em to, Dummy?
(Way back) uh, where we goin' y'all? We go ooh-ooh-ooh
(Way back, yeah) sing it with us y'all, over here, where we goin'?
(Way back) uh, over here, go ooh-ooh-ooh
(Way back, yeah) alright, see if y'all know this
Now there she goes again, the dopest Ethiopian
Now the world around me keeps on movin' in slow motion
Whenever she happens to walk by, why does the apple of my eye
Overlook and disregard my feelings no matter how much I try
Wait, no, why didn't I pursue my little princess with persistence
Was so low key that she's unaware of my existence
From a distance I desired her, secretly admired her
Wired her a letter, and it went:
My dear, my dear, my dear, you do not know me
But I know you very well
Now let me tell you about the feelings I have for you
When I try or make some sort of attempt, I simp
Damn, I wish I wasn't such a wimp
But I'ma take y'all (way back)
Uh, yeah, where goin' y'all?
Where goin', come on
We go (way back, yeah)
I can't hear y'all, sing it with me Den Haag
(Way back) uh, yeah, uh, it go ooh-ooh-ooh
(Way back, yeah) alright, see, y'all gotta know this
Y'all know how I met her
We broke up and got back together
To get her back, I had to sweat her
Thought she roll with bad boys forever in many ways
Boys made her better, to grow, I had to let her, let her
She needed cheddar, I understood that (that)
Lookin' for cheese, that don't make her a hood rat (rat)
In fact she's a queen to me, her light beams on me
I love it when she sings to me
It's like...
Love of my life
Ooh, you know you rock my world and
Love of my life
You b-boy and I b-girl and
Love of my life
We don't stop until the break of dawn, ooh...
