J Dilla - Fifteen (Fly as Pie) lyrics

[Verse One] Back in the day i used to rock stretched ears with fat caps Running with some spraycans in my backpack Never thought i'd fall for anyone Til my stupidity made me fall for the wrong person Tall, dark hair and even into graffiti Didn't really care if i was getting treated sh**ty Our friendship for perfect But i simply wanted more, and to try, my insecurities didn't think it was worth it Even my friends told me, “he's stupid" "why do you wanna get with him?" But i was young and dumb, and i didn't listen We used to paint every saturday, but this one was different I went in for the k**, and he told me a flat out “hell no" Can we still keep the friendship? will you wave when i tell you “hello?" He laughed and told all of his friends And i was the subject of every conversation My insecurities are even worse, can't they just come to an end? Now i realize nobody wants to be more than just friends… [Verse Two] Now let me tell you about this guy Stretched ears, snakebites, bands shirts, stands about 6 foot high He introduced himself as “yo my name's richie" He was a 10 in the looks department so he really fit me Tattoos and spraypaint were his forte Smoked a little weed, but it didn't get in the way Super funny, super chill, thought he was perfect Especially when i used to see him sleep shirtless We became super close til one day We were at my cousins house Blowing clouds in large amounts And he asked, if we could see each other on that serious tip Nervous, i said yes, but never been in a relationship We moved fast, on that elevation sh** He lived too far, and i wasn't into long distance I was in love, sprung, and my friends were my witness I would glow, blush everytime that'd we me mention his name Not to mention he was on top of his a-game I fell for someone, man i felt like ashamed Then one day, i woke up and it was a dream Cuz nobody really wants to date me! Now was richie was real, but the relationship was a mirage My head was going crazy, a minage Looking at him got me contemplating marr-iage We stayed close homies after, and i even hinted, but i sure he ignored it Now why does this always happen if i'm a good person? Just a guy that pa**ed me by
