Just loud enough so folks could hear it's hype, see |
|
Outta nowhere comes the woman I'm dating (I date) |
|
Investigation maybe she was demonstrating |
|
But nevertheless I was pleased (I was pleased) |
|
My day was going great and my soul was at ease |
|
Until a group of brothers (Brothers) started bugging out (Bugging out) |
|
Drinking the 40 oz, going the nigga route |
|
Disrespecting my black queen (Black queen) |
|

|
At first I ignored them 'cause see I know their type (I know their type) |

|
And the loud bright colors that I wear (Boo!) |
|
I was a target cause I'm a fashion misfit (Misfit) |

And the outfit that I'm wearing brothers dissing it |
