Lyrics

Skit #3 (The 18th Letter)

So just knowing that people, um...

Compare me with every hot kid that come out and...

You know, the expressions people give me when I see 'em in the streets sometimes

You know, people be looking at me like I'm a martian

Like, "Yo, it's the god", you know'm'sayin'

But that alone, man, keep me lovin' this, man, lovin' this
