[Verse 1]

There's a war going on outside, no one is safe from

Her silhouette when she blocks the sun

And her hair when she wakes up, and it's not done

And the laugh as she passes, it makes you numb

That's my girl outside in the lobby

Slanging my product when I'm fulfilling my hobby

She was there before the Cadillac

And she was there before the offer from Battle Acts

And she was happy in my busted out Turasel

It kind of makes me wonder why I rap so well

I can't tell if she's helping me or hurting me

Cause every time I'm heard her, it's like a murder me

That's why I say



[Chorus]

I can gain the world, and make some money

But it's nothing without you, it's nothing without you really

See I can change the world, still be a dummy

But it's nothing without you, it's nothing without you really

See I can gain the world, and make some money but



[Verse 2]

Yep, she got a mini vacuum in the house

Washing the car with one side of her blouse

A house negro, doing the chores

Just to make her happy when she comes home bored

From UCLA, I brighten up her day

The way I'm wearing my Kangol, make her say "Hey"

Eric Sermon, life I'm learning

Slowly burning, cook from turning like

Roticery, it's so cute to see

You walk in the door like (history)

It's return of the half felt

Third freak, third geek, on my top shelf

So easy to see, yet easy to forget

You collect dust while I unfold the check girl

And I regret it cause



[Chorus]



[Verse 3]

You met me at my mom's room

I met you in Inglewood in my bedroom alone

Listening to music, lost in my holocaust

With the fuse lit, caught in a Molotov

We used to talk when I was a kid

I used to sing the songs that you trapped in my head

Alone, but I'm all grown up now

A poem, lost in a grown up child

But you were there when I cried in my sleep

When I heard my moms voice weep

And you were there in the dark nights

When I knew I had no one to call

But I would fall on my own knees

But now, so many times I pretend

That I don't know you in front of my friends

And it's some kind of wonderful

Again and again

Leave you in the back seat, til the weekend

But I still hear you in my head

Like when I was a kid

That's when I ???? of what I did



(Hey John, this kid knows you)

(That's no one yo, that's no one, don't even worry bout it yo)



[Chorus]
