[Chorus: x2] 
If you were worried 'bout where 
I been or who I saw or 
What club I went to with my homies 
Baby don't worry you know that you got me 

Somebody told me that this planet was small 
We use to live in the same building on the same floor 
And never met before 
Until I'm overseas on tour 
And peep this Ethiopian queen from Philly 
Taking classes abroad 
She studying film and photo flash focus record 
Said she workin' on a flick and 
Could my click do the score 
She said she loved my show in Paris 
At Elysee Montmartre 
And that I stepped off the stage 
And took a piece of her heart 
We knew from the start that 
Things fall apart, intentions shatter 
She like that shit don't matter 
When I get home get at her 
Through letter, phone, whatever 
Let's link, let's get together 
Shit you think not, think the Thought went home and forgot 
Time passed, we back in Philly now she up in my spot 
Tellin' me the things I'm tellin' her is makin' her hot 
Startin' buildin' with her constantly round the clock 
Now she in my world like hip-hop 
And keep tellin' me 

[Chorus: x2] 

Yo, I'm the type that's always catchin' a flight 
And sometimes I gotta be out at the height of the night 
And that's when she flip and get on some 'ol 

Another lonely night 
Seems like I'm on the side you only loving your mic 
I know you gotta get that paper daddy keep that shit tight 
But yo I need some sort of love in my life, you dig me 
While politicin' with my sister from New York City 
She said she know this ball player and he think I'm pretty 
Sike, I'm playin' boo, you know it's just wit you I'm stayin' boo 
And when cats be poppin game I don't hear what they sayin' boo 
When you out there in the world, I'm still your girl 
With all my classes I don't have the time for life's thrills 
So when you sweatin' on stage think of me when you rhyme 
And don't be listenin' to your homies they be leavin' you blind 

Yeah, so what you sayin' I can trust you? 

Is you crazy, you my king for real 

But sometimes relationships get ill 
 
No doubt 

[Chorus: x2] 

That snake could be that chick 
And that rat could be that cool cat 
That's whispering "she tryin' to play you for the fool Black" 
If something's on your chest then let it be known 
See I'm not your every five minutes all on the phone 
And on the topic of trust, it's just a matter of fact 
That people bite back and fracture what's intact 
And they'll forever be I ain't on some "oh I'm a celebrity" 
I deal with the real so if it's artificial let it be 
I've seen people caught in love like whirlwinds 
Listening to they squads and listening to girlfriends 
That's exactly the point where they whole world ends 
Lies come in, that's where that drama begins, she like
 
[Chorus]  

"We're not against rap, we're not against rappers 
What we are against is those thugs"
