I saw her,
short, chocolate colored skin
form across a room
but that couldn't show
me what intentions lie behind those eyes.
I met her, introduced myself
thought I was the Mac
but the simple fact that I made cash
like most brotha's produce lies
didn't seem to fase her
the fact that I caught cabs
and hitched rides from friends didn't
darken her view of me.
then she dissappeared

Six weeks after a six week afair
I saw her again
in a dance outfit, in a club
hugged up with someone who
made her
paid to be with her
but I wanted her
so I bought a dance from her
a quiet time to romance her
her conversation verged on
on tricks and getting high
Pimps and livin' right
when the song was off she was gone

I guess everybody wants to get by
wants to get high
wants to try to be
but only getting by
