Song Description

An Ode to all the Women from around the way

Lyrics

Girlz around my way

I fell in love with a girl who was only seven years old
But she was born on a leap year, at least that?s what I was told
She had braids in her hair and ashy little knees
She liked eating Now ?n Laters and sunflower seeds

(Chorus)
Lakesha, Tomeka, LaToiya I love ya, Oh yeah
Those were the girlz around my way
Lakesha, Tomeka, LaToiya I love ya
Those were the little girlz around my way

Jumping Double Dutch was her favorite pastime
And she would play those hand games, ya know chanting tunes in rhyme
And when she would fight, she?d put the Vaseline on her face
And I remember when they usta run she would always come in first place

Chorus

Y?all know the girlz that I?m talkin? about no doubt
Those be the girlz, the girlz wit the powder on their chest, yes
And in school they would pass you notes
The notes said, ?Check yes if you like me, and no if you don?t?

Chorus-out
