Black Girl Lost lyrics

[Intro]

[Girl 1] Hello?

[Girl 2] Whassup girl

[G1] Ain't nothin - this nigga in here stressin

Talkin that old off the wall back to Africa shit again

[G2] What, that God Body shit?

[G1] Yeah, that dumb shit

I'm tryin to get up OUTTA here

[G2] I hear that.. but yo, you know the spot is pumpin tonight

[G1] Word f'real where?

[G2] You know, where the real niggas is poppin the Cristal

Not that White Star!

[G1] Ha hah! Word where the real niggas at?

[JoJo Hailey]

Listen.. to reason

Pretty baby baby listen

[Verse 1: Nas (JoJo Hailey)]

A young wild beautiful love child

You like them thug style link rocking, then mink copping

Hit you on the sink a hundred dollar drink popping

The head'll make you take 'em shopping, a foul doctrine

Reminiscent of my first time up in a chick

You was innocent, but now you rent-a-dick, wear the tightest shit

Chanel looking real, airbrushed nails

Hit the gym, hit the scales, heaven-sent but negligent (so fine..)

To see a prophecy, your ebony tone is locking me

The way you moan make me daydream of you on top of me

Wishing I could be the one man; but you juggle

Way too many Willies all in one hand

You wanna run up in clubs, getting rubbed on

Niggas pull your hair, shake your fat rear

Get your fuck on - following week, you back there

But what you stuck on, weed, clowns and cars

Puffing with some lil nigga, husband not knowing she's out

Could you believe Eve, Mother Earth of the seas

Niggas thirst you, you just let 'em hurt you and leave

What up ma, fronting like you naive

Push your man's whip, calling police when you flip

Can't understand it, yo it should be a throne for us

But for now that's a whole different zone from us, word!

[Chorus: Nas (JoJo Hailey)]

Diamonds all shining, looking all fine

Pretty little face, get a little high

Young girl struggling, trying to survive (trying to survive)

Mother of the Earth, she made you and I

Just tired of playing the same ol' games

Messing with my mind, emotional thangs (messing with my mind)

(And there goes.. a black girl.. lost)

[Verse 2: Nas (JoJo Hailey)]

Like Isis, you got your heart broke and felt lifeless

Grow up girl instead you want revenge so now you act the nicest

To who'sever getting down and trifless

To get his mind all you do is give him something priceless

'Cause in time he'll realize the thighs is all he needs

More than weed, then you hit him off with lies and greed (deceit, yeah)

There you go again, starting wars, making me more yours

Seem to get a kick out of keeping me on all fours

Face glistening, I'm addicted to you

Original, Wisdom Body got me picturing you

Igloos of ice tricking on you, you never listen

To this nigga spending Franklins on tennis anklets

Must've had a bad deal in the past though

Can't even keep it real with a nigga with cash flow

Say men are all the same, what we need to do is break this chain

You got a job part-time and school's your night thing

With dreams to settle down, it ain't far from now

You getting interviewed, but your boss is into getting screwed

Typical day that the black girl sees

Coming home wanting more from a college degree

[Chorus: Nas (JoJo Hailey)]

Diamonds all shining, looking all fine

Pretty little face, get a little high

Young girl struggling, trying to survive (trying to survive)

Mother of the Earth, she made you and I

Just tired of playing the same ol' games

Messing with my mind, emotional thangs (messing with my mind)

(And there goes.. a black girl.. lost)

[Verse 3: Nas (JoJo Hailey)]

Where are you focused, on legit niggas and where the coke is

Nice and Thug Life niggas, yo you seem hopeless

Your value - too much to be measured, I wonder how you

Could ever be played, your pussy worth gold amounting to

More than the world, but not knowing nothing about you

You leaving the crib, taking all your kids out to

Drop them off, letting some nigga knock you off

So hot and soft, that's the same thing that got you lost (you should be ashamed)

Growing up seeing it, it should remind you, you bein lied to

Everything that move be inside you

Sacred as you are, left with these wannabes to guide you

I watched you, hard to knock you, I tried not to

They spot you out dancing topless in your drawers

Damn look, there goes a black girl lost

[Outro: JoJo Hailey]

You should be ashamed of yourself

The way you carry yourself

The way you hang out all night long

Doing silly things that is wrong

Black girl lost
