City High

Verse I
I don't understand why you had to go
I guess I'll never know
Life seems so hard
Since you went your way,
There's still some things I got to say

Even though I'm all alone
I know you want me to be strong
Standing tall admist the rain
Without you life just ain't the same


Chorus
There are so many things I'd like to ask you
And there are so many things I still don't know
And there are so many things I'd like to ask you
Still yet so many things I will never know


Verse II
If there was anyway I could see your face again
I'd give my own life
Only you can ease my pain
And if I could turn back the hands of time
It would take me just a moment
To tell you what's on my mind

Even though I'm all alone
I know you want me to be strong
Standing tall admist the rain
Without you life just ain't the same


Chorus
And there are so many things I'd like to ask you
And there are so many things I still don't know
And there are so many things I'd like to ask you
Still yet so many things I will never know


Coda
Sometimes I sit and wonder,
"Will we ever meet again?"
But wherever life may lead
You'll always have a friend in need

You can say I'm plan Jane, but it's not the same
I ain't in to big names, but I like nice things
I watch boxing matches and ug foodball games.
I wouldn't mind being an actress, but I love to sing.
I like going out, taking walks and stuff.
I don't run with that many girls cause they talk too much.
I enjoy quiet nights at home cause I'm next to ya.
Though I ain't a virgin that don't mean I'm having sex with ya


Everywhere I go I'm spotted
And everything I want I got it
5'5 with brown eyes
smile like the sunrise
(X2)


Baby look me in the eyes and tell me ya
I'm the kinda girl you like
I'm feeling you cause sweetie you're my kinda guy
I wanna run with this all night long
and if you want me we can koop this going
Let me tell you I'm the type that's strong
and I don't trust a lot of men I'm independent I'm ain't
like some other woman


Everywhere I go I'm spotted
And everything I want I got it
5'5 with brown eyes
smile like the sunrise
(X2)


Vne aqui, Ven aqui mama
Baby girl don't you konow you're a star
We could take a little trip to mi casa
Spend the night popping cris in the hot tub
See I ain't naver seen no girl like you
Every sexy little thing you do

Every time I see your smile its got me hypnotized

Mira ( so can i gte your number?)
Mi amor me ama bien
Te encantara si quisieras lo tendras
(I don't know what youy siad, but I like it)
Dondequiera, soy notada
Lo que que me hayo me consigo
Y morena, ojos negros
Y sonrisa soleada


Everywhere I go I'm spotted
And everything I want I got it
5'5 with brown eyes
smile like the sunrise

You don't know me
They don't know me
Y'all don't know me
So don't try to judge me

Cause I'm hard headed
I don't wanna listen
Experience is my teacher
That's how I'm gonna live my life

Now lately it seems as though your actin' like your someone else
And the way it used to be you could come to me and tell me what you felt
Now I heard they say what you see is what you get
But that ain't always a fact, but if you turned me inside out
I think that you'd gain a new respect
[2nd Verse]
Seems like everybody knows my mind better than I know my own
Always questioning the things I do, I wish y'all would leave me alone
I may hang out and drink a lot but that's just how I get down
If I listen to you, and him or her, I'd never get my feet off of the ground

[Bridge]
You think you know me but you don't
(I'll do me and you do you think you know me but you don't have a clue)
You think you know me but you won't

They just gave up on our entire generation
So we were all pushed to the side cuz we didn't see the world through our
teachers eyes
When all we needed was a little bit of motivation
But because we wore our pants saggin' y'all labelled us gangstas
And said we wasn't worth the time

There are so many things i never asked you,
There are so many things i still dont know,
There are so many things you never told me,
and still so many things that will never know,
And why, cuz i went to city high

A school with more dropouts than signups and registrations,
Mmmm yea, and the pregnancy rate is at an all time high(we all know why)
Now you would think the classrooms the place for mental stimulation,
But theres some brothas outside sellin that stuff that will really stimulate
your mind(talkin bout gettin high)

There are so many things you never showed me,
There are too many things you let slip by,
How can I face a world that doesn't know me
A world that doesn't care whether I live or die,
And why, cuz I go to City High

So, We don't need your education
We don't want no pacifier
We are the leaders of your nation
We're gonna make sure the world survives
There ain't no justice there's just us
What happened to the meaning of "in God we trust"
So as we get older and our children grow up
We ain't gonna teach them what y'all showed us

There's too many babies dyin' before they're born
(Lord ain't that the truth)
Too many young ladies cryin' with a daddy in the house
but not a father in the home
(now y'all know there's a difference)
And what about all our young soldiers being led astray
(by this negative music)
What happened to the Isaac Hayes, and the Curtis Mayfield's
and all the Marvin
Gayes?
Man we really need 'em today

And there were so many things that needed explaining
But you said it was too late for me to learn
You were suppose to be my shelter when it was rainin'
But instead you left me out here all alone, so I gotta make it on my own

We don't need your education
We don't want no pacifier
We are the leaders of your nation
We're gonna make sure the world survives
There ain't no justice there's just us
What happened to the meaning of "in God we trust"
So as we get older and our children grow up
We ain't gonna teach them what y'all showed us

For people who did believe, what we could do to change
our future, you knew the world was in our hands,
help build them strong so they can withstand,
all the pressures, all the war,
all the prejudice, and the others
who were sure we couldn't fight the stress in life,
for those of you who didn't believe us,
listen to my words for you,
listen to your children sing to you

We don't need your education
We don't want no pacifier
We are the leaders of your nation
We're gonna make sure the world survives
There ain't no justice there's just us
What happened to the meaning of "in God we trust"
So as we get older and our children grow up
We ain't gonna teach them what y'all showed us

It was two weeks before my son's birthday
D.T's ringing my bell (Ma'am we need to ask a few questions)
They told me the RAID would go down anyday
If I was smart I wouldn't tell (no no)
It was all over him
Your my boyfriend the criminal
He was caught up in the game
And the FBI warned if I didn't go along
They'd make sure I never saw my son or my boyfriend again

(remember this, you are a convicted fellon on probation)
But how could I just turn him in?
(Ma'am if you don't help us, you'll never see your son again. Trust me)
He would always tell me

I know your afraid
But you can't leave me now
Lean on my shoulder
Soon it'll be over
I'm trying to build our future
I'm doing this for us
Your the only one I love
The only one I trust

I'd been with him for about 4 years and I swear
He gave me anything I could dream (anything)
But the life that he lived was a nightmare I swear
Wasn't clean he was blinded by the cream
All the murderous cases, the trips to Las Vegas
Making millions from papers blood stained(nasty money)
Stuck in my head like a song, saw every sin I knew every wrong
And if I don't go along, I'd never see my family again

(no no no)
(hmmm)
(hey hey hey)
(So whats it gonna be?)
(I know my rights)
(One phone call from me and your son's going to a foster home.)
(whatever)
(Answer the question)
(I don't have to answer shit!)
He would also tell me (tell me yeah)

I know your afraid
But you can't leave me now
Lean on my shoulder
Soon it'll be over (soon it'll be over)
I'm trying to build our future
I'm doing this for us
Your the only one I love
The only one I trust

It was Saturday evening, we were home watching TV
He looked in my eyes I wanted to cry (oh)
My son ran to hug him, he kissed him goodnight
How could I do this, could I do this? When I knew he would die
FED's rushed the door, yelled 'everyone on the floor'
My man pulled his NINE and started to fight
He was a soldier of cause in a war he couldn't win
But without him I'm lost
So I stood by his side and went down with him

Oh
Help!
No no no no
No no no nooo
Yeah yeah yeah yeah yeah
Help!
Oh
Oooooh
He would always tell me

I know your afraid
But you can't leave me now
Lean on my shoulder
Soon it'll be over
I'm trying to build our future
I'm doing this for us
Your the only one I love
The only one I trust
I know your afraid
But you can't leave me now
Lean on my shoulder
Soon it'll be over
I'm trying to build our future
I'm doing this for us
Your the only one I love
The only one I trust

I'm sorry...
I'm so sorry...

Who is she?
That be pagin' you and callin' all night?
Just tell me please
Ain't no need for you to try and lie now.
Where did you go
When you said that you where gonna be here, boy, don't ya know?
Today I followed you over her crib.

Ya must've been crazy, crazy and dumb,
Ya thought I didn't see ya now didn't ya, didn't ya
Tried to sneak by me now didn't ya, didn't ya
Ya gonna be sorry cause I aint the one
Ya tried to sneak by me, didn't ya, didn't ya.
Ya thought I didn't see ya now didn't ya, didnt ya, didn't ya.

Now I, won't cry
Cause honestly I knew it all the time but,
Deep inside the love I had for you was keeping me blind, but
I've made up my mind
I'm tired of giving yaw scrub-ass niggas my heart.
Now boy, you and that broad
'bout to meet with the lord.

Cause now it's too late
(What are you gonna do)
I lost my control
(puttin' my trust in you)
Keep this on ya mind
(Every last dog gets caught some time, bye-bye)

Ya must've been crazy, crazy and dumb,
Ya thought I didn't see ya now didn't ya, didn't ya.
Tried to sneak by me now, didn't ya, didn't ya
Ya gonna be sorry cause I ain't the one
Ya tried to sneak by me, didn't ya didn't ya.
Ya thought i didn'd see ya now, didn't ya, didn't ya, didn't ya.
(repeat x2).

Sorry,
I didn't mean to do what I done.
I'm only wrong for lovin' you too much,
Now I'm sittin' in these damn 'cuffs, locked up.
(Damn)
Ya must've been crazy, crazy and dumb,
Ya thought I didn't see ya now didn't ya
Tried to sneak by me now, didn't ya, didn't ya
Ya gonna be sorry cause I ain't the one
Ya tried to sneak by me now, didn't ya didn't ya.
Ya thought i didn'd see ya now, didn't ya, didn't ya, didn't ya.
(repeat x2)

Boys and girls wanna hear a true story,
was Saturday night, was at this real wild party,
they had the liquor overflowing the cup,
about 5 or 6 strippers tryna work for a buck,
and I took one girl outside wit' me,
her name was Lonnie, she went to junior high wit' me.
I said,"Why you up in there dancing for cash,
its been a whole lotta chang since
I seen ya last. She said

* What would you do if your son was home
cryin all alone on the bedroom floor 'cause he's hungry,
and the only way to feed him is sleep wit'
a man for a little bit of money
and his daddy's gone somewhere smoking rock now,
in and outta lockdown, I ain't gotta job now,
so for you this is justa good time
but for me this what I call life.

Girl you ain't the only one wit a baby,
that's no excuse to be livin all crazy,
then she looked me square in the eye
and said everyday I wake up hopin to die,
she said nigga I know about pain 'cause me
and my sister we ran away so our daddy couldn't rape us.
before I was a teenager I done
and been through more shit than you can relate ta

* Repeat

Whoa ooh oh
Then she said
(what would you do?),
get on my feet and let go of every excuse
(What would you do?)'
cause I wouldn't want me baby to go through
what I went through
(What would you do?)
Get up on my feet and stop making tired excuses
(What would you do?)
Girl I know that if my mother can do it,
baby you can do it,yeah,yeah,yeah

* Repeat

What would you do if your son was at home
cryin all alone on the bedroom flor
'cause he's hungryand the only way to feed him
is to sleep wit a man for a little bit of money
and his daddy's gone somewhere smoking rock now,

* Repeat

Now you's my boy and all,
But we need to talk
Stop by the store bring ya ball

But don't take it hard

You'll still be my partner
It's hard for me to express
How I'm feelin and
When you hear
This news you might
Fly through the ceiling
But I'm willing to
Let you know the truth and
In fact it's better that I told you

[Robby (Ryan)]

(Hold up, hold up, you ain't gonna be killin' yourself nigga)
So can you help me out?
(I'm callin i'm callin)
You're the only one who cares

[Ryan (Claudette)]
Yo shorty

He told me to come talk to you
(Yeah, bout what?)
He said y'all having problems
And you left him, now he's all confused
(Man, so what?)
Now girl why you buggin?
You know you was made for him
And him for you
I ain't trying to butt in
I just wanna be a friend
And he asked me to call you

[1] - You gotta call her homie
And tell her for me

She won't listen to me
Without love in my heart
I might as well be dead
Please help me now
You're the only who cares

You gotta call her homie

That I'm really sorry
She won't listen to me
Without love in my heart

You're the only who cares

[Ryan]
Hmm, girl this thing has gone on, long enough
Can't you see
He don't know the true reason that you left him
Baby is cause of me, whoa
He would be real surprised
To find that I'm the new apple of your eye
What kind of friend am I?
To take advantage of - my best friend's trust

[Repeat 1]

[Claudette (Robby)]
If you wanna know
Why I did - what I did
(Tell me why did you do it)
I got tired of being alone
While you was out trickin'
(Who told you I was trickin?)
I guess female dogs can't learn tricks too
You see I'm not the bitch, baby payback is
And what you did came back to you, oh

You can say I'm plain Jane, but it's not the same
I ain't in to big names, but I like nice things
I watch boxing matches and a football games
I wouldn't mind being an actress, but I love to sing
I like going out, taking walks and stuff
I don't remember many girls cause they talk too much
I enjoy quiet nights at home sittin' next to ya
Though I ain't a virgin that don't mean I'm having sex with ya

*Anywhere I go I'm spotted
And anything I want I got it
5'5 with brown eyes
Smile like the sunrise

*repeat

Baby look me in the eyes
And tell me ya
I'm the kinda girl you like
I'm feeling you
Cause sweetie you're my kinda guy
Thinking about you and I
I wanna run with this
All night long
And if you want me we can keep this going

Let me tell you I'm the type that's strong
And I don't trust a lot of men
I'm independent I'm ain't like some other woman

Anywhere I go I'm spotted
And anything I want I got it
5'5 with brown eyes
Smile like the sunrise

Anywhere I go I'm spotted
And anything I want I got it
5'5 with brown eyes
Smile like the sunrise

And I keep and I keep my mind
Baby girl don't you know you're a star
We could take a little trip to mi casa
Spend the night popping cris in the hot tub
See I ain't never seen no girl like you
Every sexy little thing you do
5'5brown eyes with your thick thighs
Every time I see your smile its got me hypnotized

**Anywhere I go I spot it
And anything I want I got it
5'5 with brown eyes
Smile like the sunrise 4x
5'5 with brown eyes
sun like the sunrise

**repeat

City High
'99
If you my dawg let me hear you bark
it aint my fault that the thought that hit your heart split you apart
you should've kept your guard
Trying to play it hard last night pulled up in a black lex in a yard
talk a lotta ra ra ya gonna murder me
you got the wrong conspiracy this ain't Kennedy
jealousy get ya no where wit Lady C
you want a wish you better I dream of genie

yo
all I left her was a broken heart
and a bunch of lies that I told her and I bounced before the sheets
were warm
see I'm the type to love them and leave them for no reason I'll
be out the door
I don't catch feelings cuz my heart is cold
see I'm that brother that your mother tried to warn you bout
but you just had to try it
now you crying on yo mamas couch
you put your heart in the fire
baby it burned up
so here's a little story bout a lesson you should learn from

It ain't my fault that I'm a dog
I've been in love before
But me I picked the apple that was rotten to the core
I put the world at her feet she kicked it in the dirt
Now I won't fall in love cuz I'll end up gettin hurt
It ain't my fault that I'm a dog
I've been in love before
But the trust I had in women as been thoroughly destroyed
I put the world at her feeet she kicked it in the dirt
Now I won't fall in love
cause *I'm always gettin* hurt

Well first of all it aint my fault that the chick broke your heart
if you was hurt you should have told me from the start
instead of sending me the flowers all that candy and the Gucci shit
on the phone for hours gasing me like I'm some groupy bitch
I've been hurt to
but that dont mean I'll hurt you
never did I burn you
or front you like some do
now look at what we've come to it's young and it's stupid
how you blaming all of us for one chick that was rooking

It aint my fault that your a dog
I've been in love before
But you you put the apple that was rotten to the core
I put the world at your feet
you kicked it in the dirt
now I won't show no love cause I'll end up gettin' hurt
it ain't my fault that your a dog
I've been in love before
But the trust I have in men has been thoroughly destroyed
I put the world at your feet you kicked it in the dirt
now I won't show no love cuz *I'm always gettin* hurt

I thought you was a angel God sent to me
must have be, but the memory of our love burned like a rub burned
but a thug learned never put your heart in a flame
be a part of the game
play smart in the game
but I was young back then
dumb back then
but nowadays how I plays not the same
controlling these games I know it cant do the pain
so dont come cry to me
lie to me
these days *these* women
just leave you bustin pennyless stuck with no benifits
fucking for Benjamins suckers like guinea pigs thinking
they innocent
if I let them in again I may never win again
like the Bulls with no Jordon
apifiniit so when no love strong enough for me to be steppin in
where the booga basement love don't win for no more baby face it

It ain't my fault that I'm a dog
I've been in love before
But me I picked the apple that was rotten to the core
I put the world at her feet she kicked it in the dirt
Now I won't fall in love cuz I end up gettin hurt
It ain't my fault that I'm a dog
I've been in love before
But the trust I had in women as been thoroughly destroyed
I put the world at her feet she kicked it in the dirt
Now I won't fall in love
cause *I'm always gettin* hurt

It ain't my fault that your a dog
I've been in love before
But you you put the apple that was rotten to the core
I put the world at your feet
you kicked it in the dirt
now I wont show no love cause I'll end up getting hurt
it ain't my fault that your a dog
I've been in love before
But the trust I have in men has been thoroughly destroyed
I put the world at your feet you kicked it in the dirt
now I won't show no love cuz *I'm always gettin* hurt

15 will get ya 20
16 will get ya 10
Don't think it can't happen to you cause
It happened to one of my friends

18 fresh out of school
Doin' the right thing playing by the rules but
One day she caught his eye 36-24-with
A skirt size 5. He stepped to her and
Asked her name not even thinking to
Ask her age she so fine she had
To be grown had he knew then what
He knows now.
She was only 16 with tha body
Of a 20 year old beauty queen, man oh man how
Could this be so damn fly but only 16

15 get ya 20, 16 get you 10 don't
Think it can't happen to you cause
It happened to one of my friends
[repeat]

Let me tell you about my friend Gene
1997 homecoming queen working hard
On her degree but one hot day she was
Out at the Greek and there he was about
5'9 chocolate as cocoa in the middle of
July so fine.he had tha lips of a vintage wine if
She knew then what she knows now.
He was only 16 with the body of a god and
A face of a king man oh man how could this be
So damn fly but only 16

[repeat chorus]

This is the gettotel Im on stage with my gazelle
I spotting her through the lens of young cinderel
you know the kinda girl who starts street wars with C 4s
and 4 4s i met her on tour said can i take a draw of
your spit cool by the way i got a suite up at the palace
enough kinda buisque but the chick ain't
mentioned now im in prison feeling like Anthoony Maison.

How many people out there like Donny Ha thaway?
Let me see your hands up
Know what I'm sayin'
City High's about to reminisce
Drop the beat y'all

I been so many places in my life and time
I've sung a lot of songs
I made some bad rhymes
Acted out my life in stages
10,000 people watching
we're alone now
and I'm singin' this song to you
I know your image of me
Is what I hope to be
I treated you unkindly
Darling can't you see
There's no one more important to me
Baby you see through me
We're alone now
And was singing this song for you

You taught me precious secrets
Of a true love with holding nothing
Came out in front while I was hiding
But now I'm so much better
If my words don't seem to come together
Listen to the melody
Cause my love was in there hiding yeah

City High to the bridge now
Aaaaaah
I love you in a place
Where there's no space or time
I love you for my life is over
Remember when we were together
Cause we were alone
And I was singing this song to you
We were alone

City Hi,i,i,ig Booga Basement, here come another one

I know things ain't work out for you and me lady
But don't worry about my child because I'a take care of 'em baby
And I can't keep comin around, breakinyou off
Cause It breaks my heart, when we make love and ain't no love involved

Why should we screw
If we can get along, what's the point of gettingit on
You know that it's wrong when all we do
Is sweep it under the rug
What's the point when we touch if we're no longer in love

This makes no sense to do what we do
Cause baby I've been moved on and I know you got someone new
So we promised each other we wouldn't make this a sexual thang
Cause it feels good while we bang, but when it's all over
You know we'll be fightin again

Why should we screw
If we can get along, what's the point of gettingit on
You know that it's wrong when all we do
Is sweep it under the rug
What's the point when we touch if we're no longer in,
why, tell me why it seems to be,
the only time you work with me, is when we're in between the sheets,
when I'm workin your body, that's when we get along, but when you put your
clothes back on, right back to the same old song,
we got it all wrong....

(play that thing Robby)

Now the way it went
Got me in this messed up predicament
Cause I ain't know how to be monogamous
I was caught in the wrong just walkin'
Through the mall with this shorty on my arm
Now I played the fool
Sittin' in the sneaker store buyin' shoes
My girl's best friend came strolling through
I tried to turn away but I moved too late
Cause she already saw my face
I was hopin' she
Didn't really get a good look at me
She walked out the store so casually
I thought that I was fine
'Til she called me later on with my girl on the line

She'd seen me
Called me up on the threeway
Givin' me girl the whole replay
Has it happened to you, has it happened to you?

Repeat

Now I tried to lie
Sayin' that it must have been some other guy
You know your friends jealous of you and I
'Cause she ain't got a man so she's all up in our business
Hold on and let me finish girl your crushin me
Actin like you ain't got no trust in me
I thought you said that you were in love with me
Well act you know me and hang up the phone
But she ain't quit
The more I tried to lie the angrier she'd get
She said it was over with us, that's it
Word to all men
If your goin' be creepin', look out for her friend

Chorus

Now ladies know how to stick together, together
No matter what you say you ain't goin' win
Now brothas better have they stuff together
Cause she always goin' believe her friend,
Always goin' to believe her friend.

Chorus
