Thought It Was On

[Intro: Kanye West, Grav]

Ay Grav, didn't you use to mess with homegirl over there right there?

Oh... yeah, man, I haven't seen her in mad long!

Ha! You know what I'm sayin'? What's up with her?

Aight?!

[Verse 1: Grav, (Liz Mercado)]

Yo, premonitions of the mission of this hun that I was lookin' for

Now whores come in score,s but this girl had more in store

My foot taps floors as I be in different realms of deep thought

Thinking of how I got caught

We made an even trade

I got the skins, while the hottie got played – at least that's what I thought

But it seems that my heart's been taken, been took

'Cause as I proceed to look through my black book

Name after name, everything looks the same

Seems that the whole situation's gotten lame

Start to question if I can survive in–

This state of mind where her face keeps on arrivin'

She says (Boy, you said you loved me) – I do!

(You can't; the only time you want me's when I'm pullin' down my pants)

Well, monkey see, monkey do, you do me, then I'll do you

Girl, I'm just teasin', what's the reason for the treason?

(Seems I caught you skeezin') Now girl, what the hell?

(Do the names Tonya and Tameka ring a bell?)

Now my train of thought starts streakin'

When a bro like me starts thinkin' of some shit like this here:

Honey, you be's the one I wanna be's with

When I do birds and bees (Whatever)

But sometimes it be's like that

One of her girls be all on up on these, 'cause my shit's phat (Fat-ass nigga!)

But the next line she relays on the phone is dial tone

Now a nigga chillin' all alone

But I guess since my name's Gravity relationships are bound

To go up and then come down

[Hook: Grav, Ghostface Killah sample, (Liz Mercado)]

I thought it was on

"I looked and knew the shit was on!"

I thought it was on

"I looked and knew the shit was on!"

I thought it was on

"I looked and knew the shit was on!"

I thought it was on

(Nigga, you thought wrong)

I thought it was on

"I looked and knew the shit was on!"

I thought it was on

"I looked and knew the shit was on!"

I thought it was on

"I looked and knew the shit was on!"

I thought it was on

(Nigga, you thought wrong)

[Verse 2: Grav, (Liz Mercado)]

Yo, now nobody really knows all of the trouble I've seen since then

It's been about 3 years, but, man, I never thought I'd see ole girl again

But to my surprise –

Seen her at a party, I could tell by the eyes, hips, and the thick thighs

Could have swore she still had feelings, yo

She even sported a dress I bought her years ago

Now this had to be that girl, Lord knows that I was wishin'

Collect my courage, put my mind on the mission

Of fulfillin' my dream

Of me playin' the role of a king, she could be my lovely Black queen

Tapped her on the shoulder, "Yo miss, how do you do?

Do you remember me? Because I remember you

It was back in September of '92" (Um... I think so... ain't your name Drew?)

"Well goddamn, girl, you got the memory of an elephant

Let's start anew – yo, the past is irrelevant"

Grab her by the hand, ask honey to dance

Thank God for givin' brothers a second chance

But somethin' wasn't right, y'all – it just wasn't the same

She didn't have a problem with me spittin' her game

But I tried to ignore the fact that somethin' was wrong

'Cause I thought feelings was strong

All night, she kept grabbin' me

It was too quick to be havin' me

She didn't want Drew, she wanted Gravity

So now she's makin' tracks, y'all

With two off the loosky, same sample that we call groupie

It hit my heart, yo, it cut like a knife

I created a monster that was now livin' trife

Well, old girl had to go, now there's only holy matrimony to my flow

It could have been

[Hook: Liz Mercado, Ghostface Killah sample, (Grav)]

I thought it was on

"I looked and knew the shit was on!"

I thought it was on

"I looked and knew the shit was on!"

I thought it was on

"I looked and knew the shit was on!"

I thought it was on

(Well then you thought wrong)

I thought it was on

"I looked and knew the shit was on!"

I thought it was on

"I looked and knew the shit was on!"

I thought it was on

"I looked and knew the shit was on!"

I thought it was on

(Well then you thought wrong)

[Outro: Kanye West, (Grav), Liz Mercado]

Know what I'm sayin', shorty was straight playin' herself, right?

(Man, know what I'm sayin'...

She used to be mad butter... straight chicken now)

Chicken cacciatore! Heh

...Fat-ass nigga! {*Grav laughs*}
