How it was ain't how it is
How it is ain't how it will be
When anyone asks how I've been
I tell em ask how I will be
School days they never paid her no attention
All the boys used to think about
Was taking home her best friend
Remember trocadero had us all going West End?
The lame with no protection
So they used to call her rugged
And she called her older bruddas
At night she couldn't sleep
She just hid below the covers
She was a tomboy with potential
In a class full of cruel kids
But the years passed by and
The glasses became contacts
Her hair's relaxed and the braces disappeared
She used to battle with her pass out
Couldn't pass, she made combat
She's got it back now, her face is everywhere
Now it's like she's never been
Insulted by a man's words
Nobody thought that she'd become a model
When her hair was in a bobble
She had bottles thrown at her times change
People change times change
School days she was the one
Just another little boy tryna beat
Valentines day, there ain't a choice made
Way too many options, she can't avoid hate
Now there's rumours going round the school
They're calling her a slag
They say she's going out with Paul
Cause Paul ain't growing outta all
He wrote a little poem on the
Wall where the water's at
Her reputation was ruined
Telling every man she meets they're
Swearing on her life by elevating
Now Paul's become the man to please
Sport's got the man his P
She a funky buddha, celebrity pursuing
Haunting all the athletes
Now she's on the same celebrity she knew when
But he remembers very well
The model, the baller, the chicken head
All went the same school, coincidence
Different situations supported by
Attention caused the difference
And the baller was a victim
(of this chick he said he loved)
Mate, I'm just painting the picture
Only two used the gift they was given
One never once opened a present up
She just opened her legs and
From bruddas that get money
I suppose it's never funny
When these hoes have a child
That won't respect their mummy
One night they crossed paths
In the lobby of the W, a hot glance
Turned into exchanging numbers
Who, ever thought that they
Would get together? Well, I never
