[00:05.67]Intro
[00:05.82]Boy: uncle montelly yo..
[00:06.30]may you please read us a story please
[00:09.57]Montell: nah,
[00:10.83]I don't feel much like telling a story today kid
[00:12.36]Girl: please, read us a story
[00:14.91]Montell: I said no kid
[00:18.00]Both kids: please! Read us a story
[00:19.20]Montell: okay..here we go
[00:21.57]Verse I
[00:22.44]Now listen to the words that I say
[00:24.81]Cause this type of song will take you back in the day
[00:27.60]It all started back in cali-from-I-A
[00:29.94]Where the khakis hang low and gangbangers don't play
[00:32.46]Put on my drawers
[00:33.93]Walked down the hall
[00:35.16]Kissed my apollonian poster on the wall
[00:37.65]My first day of high school, on my way
[00:40.38]“You need to eat your breakfast?)
[00:41.34]Mom I am late
[00:42.36]…funky fresh, stepped into the school
[00:45.06]And that's when I say her standing with this dude
[00:47.58]Young, tender, sweet denise
[00:50.04]To take her on a date you need a $1000 at least
[00:52.29]Plus she's used to dating shit dealers
[00:55.14]Cats with felonies who tote heaters
[00:57.87]You wont believe what's in the 2nd verse
[01:00.00]You better buckle up, its bout to get worse
[01:02.43]Chorus
[01:02.67]Can't believe that that's Denise
[01:04.95]The one from high school
[01:06.12]With the sexy bod
[01:06.69]But now she is out there going for broke
[01:19.98]And all her dreams went up in smoke
[01:22.59](Repeat 2X)
[01:22.77]Verse II
[01:22.92]2 years later, and things have changed
[01:25.17]Hip hop evolved into a whole new game
[01:28.62]NWA7s holding down my block
[01:30.06]Denise graduated the school of hard knocks
[01:32.55]She made a few connects
[01:33.93]Didn't skip a beat
[01:34.98]Got a little deeper hooked up on the street
[01:37.53]And wherever they led her, she would follow
[01:40.23]Now she rocks fashions like a runway model
[01:42.66]Jewelry, Louis, Gucci and guess
[01:45.03]Delivering more packages than UPS
[01:47.49]From Miami to NY
[01:48.87]Sometimes to Rome
[01:50.07]But niecy always seemed to make it back home
[01:52.53]Now I am 18 and to my surprise
[01:55.05]Niecy got babies by 2 different guys
[01:57.60]And cause of dem kids she aint moving the same
[01:59.91]She put herself out there
[02:01.41]Who's to blame?
[02:02.55]Chorus
[02:02.82]Bridge
[02:17.97]She's not a superwoman nah
[02:26.70]She is not that kind of girl that you can lay down
[02:30.09]And think that everything is ok
[02:31.77]She's only human, oh
[02:36.87]This girl is always on the go
[02:38.88]Hurt on occasional
[02:40.11]Used by so many dudes
[02:42.63]Verse III
[02:42.84]Aww! Poor Denise
[02:43.74]She's out on the streets
[02:45.06]But that's not how I'll end this story
[02:47.55]You kind of got to use your imagination
[02:50.04]To figure out Niecy's situation
[02:52.71]…I'll tell you this….its not that great
[02:54.96]She's got an addiction that she just cant shake
[02:57.42]From rags to riches, riches to rags
[03:00.09]The story of Denise is so so sad
[03:29.58]Hook 3X
