[ VERSE 1: W.C. ]
2
Back in the days when I was tryin to come up in the rap game
3
Livin like a [???], bustlin spare change
4
Drivin a bucket, livin in a shack
5
Tryin to make the best out of what I had, usin a pen and pad
6
There was this girlie that I wanted to get with
7
Who never gave me no play, because I wasn't rollin
8
She said I was too ghetto, and that a brother from the ghetto
9
Couldn't give her nothin but hard times and trouble
10
But bein I was young and dumb
11
And just thinkin bout the putang, had me sprung
12
I used to play myself late at night goin over her house, drinkin 40s
13
Standin on the front porch singin oldies
14
And even though her father used to run me away
15
I used to creep around the side and hit the backgate
16
Tappin on her window, givin her the Ghetto Serenade
17
And it went this way
18
[ CHORUS ]
19
You've got somethin that keeps my head in a spin
20
You've got somethin that makes me wanna give in
21
You've got somethin that turns my head all around
22
You've got somethin that takes me all down
23
[ VERSE 2: W.C. ]
24
I used to ask her all the time, "Yo, why do you play me?"
25
It shouldn't matter that I didn't drive a Mercedes
26
She said that I was probably only good for makin babies
27
And my physical appearance makes me look crazy
28
She said that, "You look like you bang, or maybe even slang
29
And if you wanna be with me, you gotta rearrange"
30
But I wasn't bout to get a flattop or go in a suit
31
And come back in a new BM(W)
32
She said her parents wouldn't approve of the way that I looked, see
33
"And plus you got nothin to give me
34
You wanna get laid? You gotta keep me paid"
35
That's when she lost me, man, cause I ain't payin for the ying-yang
36
And even though I'm feelin bad
37
I feel like this: I can't miss what I never had
38
So I gave it a last shot, and right before I walked away
39
I hit her with the Ghetto Serenade
40
[ CHORUS ]
41
A few years later, now my dues are paid up
42
I got a record out, now I'm rollin in big bucks
43
Flyin all around the world, meetin many girls
44
Everywhere that I go, and makin rap videos
45
And signin autographs the other day
46
I looked up, and guess who was comin my way?
47
The same old girl who never gave me no rhythm
48
But this time standin in the middle of five children
49
She done got fat, and now she's lookin like the cookie monster to me
50
Walkin around with the saggy booty
51
And runnin that drag about how I done matured so much
52
And why I haven't kept in touch?
53
I started laughin in her face, cause to me it was funny
54
Now she wanted me for my money
55
So I turned my back to her, and I walked away
56
Leavin her singin the Ghetto Serenade
57
And here's what she had to say:
58
[ CHORUS ]
59
Hey Dub, man, what's up, man?
60
You done got these braids off your head
61
Got rid of those khaki pants
62
Man, you sure have matured, man
63
How about gettin your telephone number?
64
...what's up with that, man?
65
Just cause I wasn't givin you no rhythm, that wasn't my fault, man
66
Lookin so good, man...
