I Used to Love H.E.R.

Lyrics

A-yes, yes y'all, and you don't stop
 To the beat, y'all, and you don't stop
 Yes, yes, y'all, and you don't stop
 A-one, two, y'all, and you don't stop
 A-yes, yes y'all, and you don't stop
 And to the beat Com Sense'll be the sure shot, come on
 I met this girl when I was ten years old
 And what I loved most, she had so much soul
 She was old school when I was just a shorty
 Never knew throughout my life she would be there for me
 On the regular, not a church girl, she was secular
 Not about the money, those studs was mic-checkin' her
 But I respected her, she hit me in the heart
 A few New York niggas had did her in the park
 But she was there for me, and I was there for her
 Pull out a chair for her, turn on the air for her
 And just cool out, cool out, and listen to her
 Sittin' on a bone, wishin' that I could do her
 Eventually if it was meant to be, then it would be
 'Cause we related, physically and mentally
 And she was fun then, I'd be geeked when she'd come around
 Slim was fresh, yo, when she was underground
 Original, pure, untampered, a down sister
 Boy, I tell you, I miss her
 A-yes, yes y'all, and you don't stop
 To the beat, y'all, and you don't stop
 A-yes, yes y'all, and you don't stop
 A-one, two, y'all, and you don't stop
 A-yes, yes y'all, and you don't stop
 A-Com Sense y'all, and you don't stop
 A-yes, yes y'all, and you don't stop
 UAC, yo, we gotta be the sure shot
 Now periodically I would see
 Ol' girl at the clubs, and at the house parties
 She didn't have a body, but she started gettin' thick quick
 Did a couple of videos and became Afrocentric
 Out goes the weave, in goes the braids, beads, medallions
 She was on that tip about stoppin' the violence
 About my people she was teachin' me
 By not preachin' to me but speakin' to me
 In a method that was leisurely, so easily I approach
 She dug my rap, that's how we got close
 But then she broke to the West Coast, and that was cool
 'Cause around the same time, I went away to school
 And I'm a man of expandin', so why should I stand in her way?
 She probably get her money in LA
 And she did stud, she got big pub, but what was foul
 She said that the pro-black was goin' out of style
 She said, "Afrocentricity was of the past"
 So she got into R&B, hip-house, bass, and jazz
 Now black music is black music and it's all good
 I wasn't salty she was with the boys in the hood
 'Cause that was good for her, she was becomin' well-rounded
 I thought it was dope how she was on that freestyle shit
 Just havin' fun, not worried about anyone
 And you could tell by how her titties hung
 A-yes, yes y'all, and you don't stop
 To the beat, y'all, and you don't stop
 A-yes, yes y'all, and you don't stop
 A-one, two, y'all, and you don't stop
 A-yes, yes y'all, and you don't stop
 And to the beat Com gotta be the sure shot
 A-yes, yes y'all, and you don't stop
 If you don't check it, mm-mm, bust it, bust it
 I might've failed to mention that this chick was creative
 Once the man got to her, he altered her native
 Told her if she got an image and a gimmick
 That she could make money, and she did it like a dummy
 Now I see her in commercials, she's universal
 She used to only swing it with the inner-city circle
 Now she be in the burbs, lookin' rock and dressin' hippie
 And on some dumb shit when she comes to the city
 Talkin' 'bout poppin' Glocks, servin' rocks and hittin' switches
 Now she's a gangsta rollin' with gangsta bitches
 Always smokin' blunts and gettin' drunk
 Tellin' me sad stories, now she only fucks with the funk
 Stressin' how hardcore and real she is
 She was really the realest, before she got into showbiz
 I did her, not just to say that I did it
 But I'm committed (girl, he's committed) but so many niggas hit it
 That she's just not the same lettin' all these groupies do her
 I see niggas slammin' her and takin' her to the sewer
 But I'ma take her back, hopin' that the shit stop
 'Cause who I'm talkin' about, y'all, is hip-hop
 To the beat, y'all, and you don't stop
 A-yes, yes y'all, and you don't stop
 Mainframe, yo, they gotta be the sure shot
 A-yes, yes, y'all, and you don't stop
 To the beat, y'all, and you don't stop
 A-yes, yes y'all, and you don't stop
 A-one, two, Com Sense is gonna drop, haha
 I used to love H.E.R.
 I used to love H.E.R.
 I used to love H.E.R.
 I used to love H.E.R.
 I used to love H.E.R.
 I used to love H.E.R., went and fucked up all the shit, y'all
 You ain't got your woman in check, man?
 I think you're overstepping your bounds just a little bit
 I can't do this anymore
 
 A-yes, yes y'all, and you don't stop
 To the beat, y'all, and you don't stop
 Yes, yes, y'all, and you don't stop
