[ VERSE 1 ]

This is MC Jaz and I'm gonna

Talk about somebody, know why? Cause I wanna

The truth, the whole truth, nothin but scout's honor

A blast from the past, this girl named Shana

Skin so smooth, didn't need no lotion

That's irrelevant, yo, bust the motion

It was about 4 years ago

10 below, 11 inches of snow

As I stood on the corner to cross the street

I saw a piece of pure perfection lookin good enough to eat

I took a deep breath, said, "Hey you, stop"

She turned around and shouted, "Step off, baby pop"

I said, "What's up, what's your beef, missy?"

Yo, don't be stuck up, don't be so pissy"

Her upper lip dropped, Shana stopped

She said, "There ain't no need to be blowin your top"

A cute little honey in a bundle of fur

She could say the word, and I would be cursed

"You're definitely dear, devastatingly darlin

Please pass the digits, tomorrow I'll be callin"

She gave em up as I clocked her shameless

I said, "What's your name?", she said "My name is..."



[ VERSE 2 ]

I called her daily and I rang the line

Two weeks later Shana was mine

Wednesday's her house, Thursday's Laces

Friday Red Parrot were our favorite places

I was her bo and she was my biddy

She called me handsome, I called her pretty

But somethin happened, boy, was it a pity

My girl Shana got high-seddidy

Demandin that I buy her fur coats and jewels

I was livin in a project, she musta been fooled

Talkin bout nugget goes good on my wrist

Askin me for diamonds that were big as my fist

Man, just to feed her my pockets been bleedin

Like a drunk race driver that girl was speedin

I was needin to get out of that, I couldn't stay with

A money hound, so I had to do away with



[ VERSE 3 ]

We were apart for two weeks and I was missin her

All the huggin and the lovin and the kissin her

Yo, I wanted to call her, but I needed to talk face to face

So I stepped over to her place

Knock-knock, "Hey baby, it's yours truly

Come on and talk to me, and don't be unruly"

I said, "What's the matter, girl, can't you speak?

You ain't seen The Jaz in about 2 weeks

You got somethin to say to me, don't you?

I'm so confused, so won't you

Tell me what's goin on

Say the word and I'll be gone"

She said, "Bye, I don't want a thing to do with you

Let the door knob hit you where the good lord split you"

I was so upset, I coulda cursed her mother

But I cooled, cause I knew that I'd recover

Stepped through the door, cold bam-slam

She said, "Go on, go on, beat it, scram"

Dismissed and dissed so skidaddled I did

And my only consolation was I got rid of



[ VERSE 4 ]

Time passed, and I got a new honey

A sweet treat that ain't hungry for my money

Thank God when she was taken, glad that I took her

She's kind by design and a real good looker

Warm and charming, with style and grace

Not to mention that she has good taste

Clocked a move, cause there's move to clock

Chillin at the Parrot, parked my car in the lot

On the guest list line lookin over my shoulder

Silky hair, soft fur, and didn't look a day older

I tried to avoid her, pushed and shoved to get past

Then Shana shouted out, "Is that you, Jaz?

With that big three foot truck diesel rope

And that soft frehs leather lookin dumber than dope?"

She said, "I must be goin psycho, as far as you and I go

The only car you drove was made by Tyco

Driftin on the thought, I'm wonderin whether 

We can do right, and eh, get together

No question, you're willin of course

Come on, my place or yours?"

I said, "I'm just thinkin bout the times when you drove me crazy

The gall, the audacity, you amaze me

Took me for worse, that's totally weak

Money ain't everything, you crabby old freak

You tried to do me like toilet paper, that's okay

Blow your nose and wipe and cold flush me away

But eh, I saw the light, and I saw it in time

Before you tried to beat me for my last thin dime"

I played her out, she had nothin to say

Shrugged her shoulders and switched away

I keep my mind in track, though I ain't no runner

Brothers better stay away from girls like Shana
