I Cram to Understand U

I used to be in love with this guy named Sam
 I don't know why, 'cause he had the head like that of a clam
 But you couldn't tell me nothin', 'cause Sam was number one
 'Cause to me, oh my Gosh, he was one in a million
 I shoulda knew the consequences right from the start
 That he'd use me for my money, and then break my heart
 But like a fool in love I fell for his game
 But I got mine, so I show no shame
 In empire winked his eye, and then he kept walkin'
 And all of those who live in Brooklyn know just what I'm talkin'
 The roller disco where we all used to go
 Just to have some fun back in 1981
 You know the place, Empire Boulevard
 Is where I first saw the nigga, and he tried to play hard
 But I knew the deal, 'cause I knew his brother Jerry
 And Sam, he just broke up with his girlfriend Terry
 So Jerry introduced Sam and I that night
 He said, hello, my name is Sam I said, hi, my name is Lyte
 We dipped and we dapped and we chit and we chat
 About this and that, from sneakers to hats
 He said, look, I'm in the mood for love
 Simply because you're near me
 (Let's go) to my house, lay back and get nice
 Watch television, reunite on ice
 I said, slow down, I know you wanna shake me down
 But I'm not one of the girls to go rippin around
 Just like a test
 Ju-just like a test
 Ju-just like a test
 I cram to understand you
 Next month I finally went to his house
 I walked into the door, there was a girl on the couch
 I said, who's the frog, the bump on the log?
 You chump, you punk, how could you do me wrong?
 Singing sad songs about your love is so strong
 You said, wait Lyte, you're confused, the girl is my cousin
 Your brother agreed, but later she said that she wasn't
 Just like a test
 Ju-just like a test
 Ju-just like a test
 I cram to understand you
 Forgotten, next month we went to the deuce
 Well, I thought it kinda strange 'cause you had lots of juice
 You knew the dopes, the pushers, the addicts, everybody
 Asked ya how you met 'em, said you met 'em at a party
 Then these girls tried to tell me you were sellin' the stuff
 I said, it's not your business, so shut the fuck up
 They said, okay Lyte, think what you wanna think
 But it's gon' be some shit when your man becomes a...
 I said, look, to bust a move, I don't even know you
 To put it Lyte, I really don't care to
 They kinda got mad and sort of offended
 They said, we only lookin' out for yo best interest
 I said, thanks but no thanks in an aggravated tone
 When I wanna find out, I find out on my own
 Just like a test
 Ju-just like a test
 Ju-just like a test
 I cram to understand you
 Then my cousin said she saw you with this lady named C
 Well I'm clawin' my thoughts, I wonder who she could be
 You're spending all your time with her and not a second with me
 They say you spend your money on her and you're with her night and day
 Her name starts with a c and it ends with a k
 I strain my brain lookin' for a name to fit this spellin'
 But I just couldn't do it cause my heart kept yellin'
 Burning, begging for affection from you, Sam
 But just like a test I cram to understand you
 Thought I knew you well enough to call you a man, but
 Just like a test
 Ju-just like a test
 Ju-just like a test
 I cram to understand you
 Then it came a time you started looking kinda thin
 I asked you why, you said, exercise, tryina stay slim
 I bought it, even though I knew it was a lie
 'Cause it really didn't matter, you were still lookin' fly
 But oh no, oh no, you started askin' me for money
 Butter me up, beg me and call me your honey
 So I gave you 2 yards, and then I gave you one more
 You picked up your jacket and you flew out the door
 You came back an hour later and you asked me for a 10
 I said, I only got a 20, you said, give me that, then
 I said, nope, I'll tell you now, you better stop slobbin'
 Find you a job, or you better start robbin'
 So I stepped off with a giant step
 Picked up my belongings, and I just left
 And now I see you in empire every sunday
 Juicin' the girls up for some money and a lay
 But every time I see you doin' it, I just ruin it
 Tell 'em how ya on crack, smoke, sniff, and chewin' it
 And as for this girl, miss C, oh, well
 I was shocked as hell when I heard, Samuel
 When your homeboys told me, I almost went wack
 That the girl you was addicted to, her name was Crack
