[Verse 1]
[Em]I met my [Am]queen at fifteen years [B]old
Before I ressurected goals
of stu[F#m]dios and s[Em]hows
Before I'd stare at screens in theatres
watching my dreams [B]roll
Before Diesel and [Am]open toes we wore
[Em]Timbos and Girbauds
Back when my hightop
[B]fade was flat
Shorties with plaits [Am]and cowries,
two finger rings, no head
[B]Wraps
[Em]Her natural tresses were pulled
[B]back tucked in Negro League
Caps
She said, [Am]" I prefer s[B]ome
soca, but I've got love [Em]for rap"
In fact her favourite [B]rappers were "Nas, Pac,
Rick, and Common"
Back when he was booming
in your jeep
"I was [Em]visiting some peeps at your
[B]school during the week
You were sleepin' when I saw you on
the street you wouldn't
Speak"
[Em]Walk on by, passing me by
[B]On the pharcyde of the lunchroom,
damn
We glanced [A]eyes, hi an[Am]d bye
"I had [Em]a man,
his girl and I were [B]best friends"
Years go by, graduated, went to Harvard
I and I said [Em]goodb[Am]ye[B]

[Verse 2]
Flash [Em]to the backy[Am]ard parties
where [B]I'd dance with my boo
Salute the fam, build with my crew
and grab a number or two
From a [Em]piece of my [Am]love in
9- 2, can [B]you stand the rain?
Love is pain, you know what,
I'm through
With [Em]my popcorn love,
[Am]act [B]2, scene 2
"My best friend's his ex- girl"
And now [Am]she's to my res[B]cue
The late [Em]phone [Am]convo's
"I see [B]his vision with my eyes
closed"
I'm hearing her pitch and hearing
thoughts of stories untold
[Em]Not for public readership,[B] this is a private issue,
tears and
Tissue
"Mamas not here"
Aunt Jo we miss you
[Em]I taste fear, the phone call[B]s
turn to prayer vigils
I smell love
"I feel support"
I got your back, I'm with you
[Em]I touched love, she wasn't ready[B]
but said "Damn I miss you"
Like shots, meals,
and attention when we were little
Could we [Em]have known
From campus vis[B]its now
we're grown
"We got degrees,
I'm flying home to see him rock microphones"

[Interlude 2]
Goodbye

[Verse 3]
She was my [Em]La femme Nikita
"We'd dance mer[B]engue
and the salsa"
Laid back, trees wrapped in
[Am]a joya de Nicaragua
Wine [Em]or lime in a corona while
I [B]down a German lager
Had me open mama
"Now we need to end this saga"
With tour sched[Em]ules can love grow
mature [B]like escrow
We're playing games with our feelings
and what you reap is what
You sow
She said, "a [Em]tangled web you weave
when you prac[B]tice to
Deceive"
I found it hard to believe I wore my
[Am]heart on my sleeve
[B]Claiming she [Em]the one like Billy [B]Jean
Now what the deally?
She want my name, so
what's your aim
Said for the fame "you act silly"
[Em]Said colour me purple [B]like seally,
"Until you do right by me,
it all comes back to you really"
She said [Em]" breathe me,
feed me, are we [B]on the same page"
Nuff said believe me,
"not your shoe size, act your age"
Until the end of [Em]time I'll adore you
"You [B]know I'm here for you"
I need trust, communication,
commitment and much more too
[Em]Goodbye[Am][B]
