Where we met, I had to give her mad respect
She was with her man, he took a drag from a cigarette
He told her he'll be back, he jumped in a meter cab
Gestured to her cell and tell her where to meet him at
Now she was mad, and I was looking for my car
She had some plastic bags, coming from the supermarket
Cooking for his ass, how she gone get to the projects?
She ain't got no cash (Now girl you mean the world to me)
And she struggling while walking (Now girl you mean the world to me)
So I drive past: "Yo, I say (Now girl you mean the world to me)
I ain't no stalker wit yo big 'ole ass (Now girl you mean the world to me)
Here's my help I'm tryna offer (Now girl you mean the world to me)
I give you a lift" (Now girl you mean the world to me)
Who woulda knew it turn to this? (Now girl you mean the world to me)
Now we in the mix (Now girl you mean the world to me)
Baby moved up in my crib (Now girl you mean the world to me)
And she left her ex (Now girl you mean the world to me)
Damn I'm speedin' (Now girl you mean the world to me)
(Now girl you mean the world to me)
I'm a king, you're a queen (Now girl you mean the world to me)
His and her sinks and diamond rings (Now girl you mean the world to me)
You don't have to look back at him (Now girl you mean the world to me)
Just get your bags packed and then (Now girl you mean the world to me)
A new life soon begins (Now girl you mean the world to me)
Like I told you when I'm in, I'm in (Now girl you mean the world to me)
I'm a king, you're a queen (Now girl you mean the world to me)
His and her sinks and diamond rings (Now girl you mean the world to me)
You don't have to look back at him (Now girl you mean the world to me)
Just get your bags packed and then (Now girl you mean the world to me)
A new life soon begins (Now girl you mean the world to me)
Like I told you when I'm in, I'm in (Now girl you mean the world to me)
I'm a king, you're a queen (Now girl you mean the world to me)
His and her sinks and diamond rings (Now girl you mean the world to me)
You don't have to look back at him (Now girl you mean the world to me)
Just get your bags packed and then (Now girl you mean the world to me)
A new life soon begins (Now girl you mean the world to me)
Like I told you when I'm in, I'm in (Now girl you mean the world to me)
Baby girl had a son (Now girl you mean the world to me)
He was three, yeah I took him in (Now girl you mean the world to me.)
Now she call him little me, I even look like him
Nah, I mean he look me, a couple shades darker
She be calling him Blackie, that's 'cause his real father jet black
So she treat him like it's a setback
I don't respect that
Now his pops calling collect at the new crib on the new number
Now how he get that?
See, now I knew we was a mismatch
I'm laid back, you too used to getting pimp smacked
I see where I went wrong at
I just tried to bring the out the queen in you
But when you make a girl leave a man
You never really know where she stand
How you know she really yours?
Somebody could do the same to yo
