a friend of mine cecilia

has a man a dealer

born - born supreme

you know the type

gold and cars (cars and gold

the more he got

yo

the more he sold

he told her he loved her

her love he bought just to warm his bed

i tried to tell her

but it went out the other ear

she didn't wanna hear

what i had to say

she just replied this way

(girl

i love him

he treats me so good

he gets much respect in my neighborhood)

i cram to understand why she wants this man

but not with a dealer

i know how it feels

you make love while he makes deals

the story gets worse

they threaten her life

a guy walked on her with a knife

and said (being with born is a big mistake

it's a shame your life i have to take

if you leave him now

you'll be alright

if not

you won't make it through the night)

she came to me and said

forget about born

or else you're through

she said hm

i wonder

is love worth bein six feet under?

nope

i think it's time you skip

town (hey girl

don't hang around

or else you'll be goin -)

miss c said (no

i'm stayin with my man

he stands by me

so i too must stand)

girl

you're stupid

you're gonna take a fall

and then she received a call

(hello? listen

baby

they got a contract on me

i know because brian warned me

i'm outta here

goin back to cali

grab your stuff and meet me in the alley)

she grabbed her stuff

the gold and the cash

headed for the door in a flash

she said now wait just a minute

you know he's a dealer

his windows are tinted

he has truck jewelry

and no job

carries ducats in

now hell the hell does he get these things?

the gucci

the louis

the polo rings

dealers are bad news

take it from lyte

they say they kill you

and they might

(you're right

lyte

you tell no lie

just let me go say good-bye)

she ran down the stairs in a minute or more

i heard a thunderous roar

born and cecilia - killed by uzis

see why it pays to be choosy?
