Montell Jordan - Denise lyrics

Intro Boy: uncle montelly yo.. May you please read us a story please Montell: nah, I don't feel much like telling a story today kid Girl: please, read us a story Montell: I said no kid Both kids: please! Read us a story Montell: okay..here we go Verse I Now listen to the words that I say Cause this type of song will take you back in the day It all started back in cali-from-I-A Where the khakis hang low and g**ners don't play Put on my drawers Walked down the hall Kissed my apollonian poster on the wall My first day of high school, on my way "You need to eat your breakfast?) Mom I am late …funky fresh, stepped into the school And that's when I say her standing with this dude Young, tender, sweet denise To take her on a date you need a $1000 at least Plus she's used to dating dope dealers Cats with felonies who tote heaters You wont believe what's in the 2nd verse You better buckle up, its bout to get worse Chorus Can't believe that that's Denise The one from high school With the dope body But now she is out there going for broke And all her dreams went up in smoke (Repeat 2X) Verse II 2 years later, and things have changed Hip hop evolved into a whole new game NWA7s holding down my block Denise graduated the school of hard knocks She made a few connects Didn't skip a beat Got a little deeper hooked up on the street And wherever they led her, she would follow Now she rocks fashions like a runway model Jewelry, Louis, Gucci and guess Delivering more packages than UPS From Miami to NY Sometimes to Rome But niecy always seemed to make it back home Now I am 18 and to my surprise Niecy got babies by 2 different guys And cause of dem kids she aint moving the same She put herself out there Who's to blame? Chorus Bridge She's not a superwoman nah She is not that kind of girl that you can lay down And think that everything is ok She's only human, oh This girl is always on the go Hurt on occasional Used by so many dudes Verse III Aww! Poor Denise She's out on the streets But that's not how I'll end this story You kind of got to use your imagination To figure out Niecy's situation …I'll tell you this….its not that great She's got an addiction that she just cant shake From rags to riches, riches to rags The story of Denise is so so sad Hook 3X
