I know, I can't afford to stop   for a moment.. that it's too soon.. to forget   I know, I can't afford to stop   for a moment.. that it's too soon.. to forget      [Mos Def - speaking over sung vocals]   Man.. for real   I was in love with this girl, y'know   I was.. to' up dog! I'm tellin you man   She was wild man.. f'real   It's just too.. let me tell you about her      [Mos Def]   Yo, in she came with the same type game   The type of girl givin out the fake cell phone and name   Big fame, she like cats with big thangs   Jewels chip, money clip, phone flip, the six range   I seen her on the ave, spotted her more than once   Ass so fat that you could see it from the front   She spot me like paparazzi; shot me a glance    in that catwoman stance with the fat booty pants, Hot damn!   What's your name love, where you came from?   Neck and wrist blazed up, very little make-up   The swims at the Reebok gym tone your frame up   Is sugar and spice the only thing that you made of?   I tried to play it low key but couldn't keep it down   Asked her to dance she was like "Yo, I'm leavin now"   An hour later, sounds from Jamaica   She sippin Crys straight up, shakin, windin her waist up   Scene two: my fam throwin the jam   Fahreed is on the stand big things is in the plan   The brother Big Mu makes space for me to move in   Hey, this my man Mos, baby let me introduce; I turn around   Say word! You was the same pretty bird who I had priorly observed   tryin to play me for the herb (Yeah, that's her)   Shocked as hell she couldn't get it together   I just played it long and pretended I never met her   "How you feelin?" "Oh I'm fine." "My name is Mos." "I'm Sharice.   I heard so much good about you it's nice to finally meet."   We moved to the booth reserved for crew especially   And honey love ended up sittin directly next to me   I'm type polite but now I'm lookin at her skeptically   Cause baby girl got all the right weaponry   Designer fabric, shoes, and accessories   Chinky eyes, sweet voice is (fucking) with me mentally   We conversated, made a laugh, yeah you know me bro   Even though I know the steelo, she wild sweet yo   I'm bout to merc, I say peace to the family   She hop up like "How you gonna leave before you dance with me?"      [hook 2X - sung]   I know I can't afford this life   For a moment   That its too soon   To forget      [Mos continues speaking through sung hook]   She blew my whole head with that dude, I was like "What?"   I played it low though, I was like   "Yeah, aiight, c'mon then, let's go"   It's mad, the shit is so sick, I'm tell you   Yo, honey was so blazin, she was just..   Yo, she was like Jayne Kennedy, word bond   To my mother man, she was that ill man   She take me to the dance floor and she start whisperin to me      [Mos Def]   Yo, let me apologize for the other night   I know it wasn't right, but baby you know what its like   Some brothers don't be comin right   I understand, I'm feelin you   Beside, 'can I have a dance?' ain't really that original   We laughed about it, traced her arms across my shoulder blades   They playing lovers' rock, I got the folded fingers on her waist   He end my butt up like the Arizona summer song   Finished then she whisper 'honey, let's exchange numbers'   Scene three: weeks of datin late night conversation   In the crib heart racin, tryin to be cool and patient   She touched on my eyelids, the room fell silent   She walked away smilin singing Gregory Issacs   Like 'if I don't, if I don't, if I don't'   Showin me that tan line and that tattoo   Playin Sade, "Sweetest Taboo"   Burnin candles, all my other plans got canceled   Man I smashed it like an Idaho potato   She call my at my J.O., 'come now', I can't say no   Ginseng tree trunks, rockin the p-funk   Cocking her knees up, champion lover not ease up   Three months, she call 'I feel I'm runnin a fever'   Six months, I'm tellin her I desperately need her   Nine months, flu-like symptoms when shorty not around   I need more than to knock it down I'm really tryin to lock it down   Midnight we hook up and go at it   Burn a stogger, let her know, sweetheart I got to have it   She tellin me commitment is somethin she can't manage   Wake up the next morning, she gone like it was magic   Ahh damnit! This all Harrison Ford frantic   My 911 wasn't answered by my fly Taurus enchantress   Next week, who hit me up, I saw Sharice at the kitty club   With some banging ass Asian playin lay it down and lick me up   What!?
