Shorty was sweet,
shoulda overlooked her
That's what I get for a
teaspoon of sugar, yo
I ain't frontin' freaks,
cum a dime a dozen
Some be about somethin',
others be about nothin'
Summer 91, on the staircase with leaves
Pushin' for cheese,
schemin' on fresh meat
That moved in on the other side
Shorty stressing weed, eye contact
Signified vibes, indeed
Hit her with a sack,
caress verbs that chomp
The ones came in the picture
Feelings made of this, that, of and again
We took chances,
climbing in windows at night
I was young, my state was right,
plus S was tight
Hit it off, people thought love was a store
But it wasn't,
because behind closed doors was war
Arguing too much,
too many times, make enough
Got us stuck in a relationship
based on untrust
But every good thing don't last for eons
For that fact, we cheated on each other
For different reasons,
it didn't work out
With time it showed,
so we let each other go
See ya lady, adios, I'm out
Shorty was sweet,
shoulda overlooked though
That's what I get for
a teaspoon of sugar, yo
I ain't frontin' freaks,
come a dime a dozen
Some be about somethin',
others be about nothin'
Shorty was sweet,
shoulda overlooked though
That's what I get for a teaspoon of sugar, yo
I ain't frontin' freaks,
come a dime a dozen
Some be about somethin',
others be about nothin'
I had the hots for this girl
from up the block
Man, cute, workin' for some of youth,
analyzin' school
Tried to talk to her,
but she kept frontin'
Playin' me like my pres
ence wasn't nothin'
And yo, we couldn't function
I let it be, cause what I understand,
she had a man and loved him
Bein' a friend was the only option
I took the offer,
picked her up from school
one day as bug
Since then,
I became closer than her man was
So on, so on, now it's my turn,
money is gone
Face to face, I turned her on,
impressed her on the horn
Things went by swiftly, smooth as can be
No conflict between,
I was the first to make history
Thought what we had
woulda lasted a lifetime
But I had to get mines
and ended up doin' time
Then I heard rumors she didn't verify
True or false,
came home with me what I thought
And cut her off
Shorty was sweet,
shoulda overlooked her
That's what I get for
a teaspoon of sugar, yo
I ain't frontin' freaks,
comin' down with dozens
Some be about somethin',
others be about nothin'
Shorty was sweet,
shoulda overlooked her
That's what I get for
a teaspoon of sugar, yo
I ain't frontin' freaks,
cum a dime a dozen
Some be about somethin',
others be about nothin'
94 school grounds,
a shorty lookin' sweet
Slim physique, so you know I had to speak
Can I run with you to class?
She said, come on, let's bounce,
we chill, no doubt
Messed my head up when she
asked me out
We combined it,
started goin' through down fours
Stuck by it and kept it real,
we been through mash
Livin' together, breakin' up,
yeah, the usual
And every time, ayo,
I did what I had to do
We got back together,
then I came out in the open
Why did I school her on the 411?
I tried to show her it's real,
she showed me revenge
Met a kid one day,
later on let him hit the skins
Cause he bought a fool,
she's thinking that's cool
Plus saying you did it,
so I did it too to get back at you
We gave it one more shot,
she still thought she was a player
But got played, I left,
she thought she had it made
