[Intro]
N.C.
Lord God
I come to you a sinner
And I humbly repent for my sins
I believe that Jesus is Lord
I believe that you raised him from the dead
I will ask that Jesus will come to my life
And be my Lord and Savior
Eb9
I receive Jesus to take control of my life
G9
And that I may live for him from this day forth
Eb11
Thank you Lord Jesus for saving me with your precious blood
In Jesus' name, Amen

[Verse 1]
Eb9 G9
I met her at this house party on El Segundo and Central
Eb11
She had the credentials of strippers in Atlanta
Ass came with a hump from the jump she was a camel
Eb9
I want to ride like Arabians, push an '04 Mercedes-Benz
G9
"Hello my name is Kendrick," she said "No, you're handsome"
Eb11
Whispered in my ear, disappeared then found her dancing
Ciara had played in the background
Eb9
The parade music we made had us all wearing shades now, cool
G9
"Where you stay?" She said "Down the street from Dominguez High"
Bb9
Okay, I know that's borderline Compton or Paramount
"Well is it Compton?"
"No," she replied and quickly start batting her eyes and
Strictly had wanted her thighs around me
Eb9
Seventeen, with nothing but pussy stuck on my mental
G9
My motive was rather sinful
Eb11
"What you trying to get into?"
She didn't tell, just gave me her Nextel
Dropped the number, we chirped the whole summer and well
[Verse 2]

Eb9
The summer had passed, and now I'm liking her
G9
Conversation we having probably enticing her
Eb11
Who could imagine, maybe my actions would end up wifing her
Eb9
Love or lust, regardless, we'll fuck cause the trife in us
G9
It's deep rooted, the music of being young and dumb
Eb11
Is never muted; in fact, it's much louder where I'm from
We know a lot 'bout each other, her mother was a crack addict
She live with her granny and her younger two brothers
Eb9
Her favorite cousin Demetrius's irrepetible
G9
Family history of gang banging - did make me skeptical
Eb11
But not enough to stop me from getting a nut
Eb9
I wanna come over, what's up? That's what I told her soon as this episode
G9
Of Martin go off, I'm trying to get off
Bb9
I was in heat like a cactus, my tactics of being thirsty
Probably could hurt me, but fuck it I got some heart
Grab my momma's keys, hopped in the car, then oh boy
[Verse 3]

Eb9 G9
So now I'm down Rosecrans in a Caravan
Eb11
Passing Alameda, my gas meter in need of a pump
I got enough to get me through the traffic jam
At least I hope cause my pockets broke as a promise man
Eb9
I'm thinking bout that sex, thinking bout her thighs
G9
Or maybe kissing on her neck, or maybe what positions next
Eb11
Sent a picture of her titties blowing up my texts
I looked at 'em and almost ran my front bumper into Corvette
Eb9
Enthused by the touch of a woman, she's a masseuse
Eb9 G9
And I'm a professional porn star when off the Goose
Eb11
I had a fifth in the trunk like Curtis Jackson for ransom
I'm hoping to get her loose like an Uncle Luke Anthem
Eb9
I'm two blocks away, 250 feet
Gm9
And six steps from where she stay, she waving me 'cross the street
Eb11
I pulled up a smile on my face, and then I see
Two niggas, two black hoodies, I froze as my phone rang
[Outro]
