Makeba

This is not a love ballad but it is a slow song Fitten to tell you 'bout this girl I know, well this girl I used to know Her name's Makeba Makeba Sweet makeba Makeba Makeba Yo how you doin' baby it's been a long time Haven't seen you in a couple of years and the last I heard you lost your mind Well how you been who you been with how's it been goin'? Still into hip hop are you still flown'? Oh yeah that's cool We should kick back maybe have a session I remember you tellin' me you had to get away couldn't stay another day In the life of L.A. in the city That's peace Yo where you been China Africa Greece Least you coulda dropped me a letter or a phone call Let me know you was all right Your friends and your family and they kept tellin' me Makeba disappeared in the night Now I know that you had big dreams makeba But I had big dreams too And all this time you were searchin' makeba Did any your dreams come true? I remember I used to be down for you and you was down for me I had your back and you had my back makeba I wanted you to be my g Makeba Yo you know I got another girl after that right She kinda looked like you too a little bit Sweet makeba Yo why don't you just come to the crib you know We could listen to some music talk about things Ooh I see you're not a young girl anymore and you're all grown up And you been around the world Wanna see what life's gonna offer you it's your young world and it's all for You You probably got a man in every country that wants you Like I wanted you but you didn't want that Remember how we used to make love makeba 'member how you loved it when I hit it from the back Makeba I had love for you I had wanted you I had needed you I remember comin' to your house seven in the morning Ready for school but we didn't even go It was right back to my house where we kissed liked kids And we jumped in the bed and you know I loved makin' love to my makeba She was like my queen of Sheba I remember how we used to smoke chiba Oh you don't smoke no more well that's cool Well everybody gotta stop sometime I remember one time when you hid my stash and saved my ass from the one time I remember some fools tried to jump me and you jumped up before anybody did We used to say if and when we get married we'll have kid after kid after kid After kid After kid after kid after kid after kid after kid Damn that's a lot of kids Makeba Sweet makeba I had love for you I had wanted you I had needed you How I loved makin' love to my makeba Well remember how the whole crew used to hang tough Well everybody's doin' they thang and stuff And everybody's still actin' like they know And a few more people ain't w/us no mo' Oh me I'm just chillin' Makin' my music livin' and buildin' Tryin' to make a million out this little ol' dime and this nickel And lickin' lickle shots for the prophets we forgot But other than that I'm glad you back on deck I expect to see you in the near future If you wanna just sit and chat talk about the good old days Good old times what was in style what's goin' on now Cause it has been a while Makeba Honey girlfriend Left in a whirlwind put a brother in a tailspin Just twirlin' Had a few laughs and kicks But me and my clique don't be trippin' no tricks I still got a piece of me to give you You still got a piece of you to give me You listenin' but you don't hear me We can pick up right where we left at but I gotta be me and you gotta accept that I just wanna be homies Cause I ain't got love like Monie Cause soon as you got close you got ghost And you tried to leave Acey 'lone-y So hook up w/me if you can cool But you know I know what you get loose to And if you play your cards right get your shit tight Then we might be down like we used to Makeba
