[01:19.78]Babygirl was on the verge of signing a big deal
[01:22.20]18 and life looked so so real
[01:24.42]She was stuck with a dude that was all bad news

[01:29.01]And she was true to a nigga, do for a nigga,
[01:31.66]pop you and your whole crew for a nigga
[01:33.74]One night he came and picked her up, told her let's ride
[01:36.31]That's the same night that he watched her die

[01:40.79]Put a end to the deal and all of that
[01:43.11]She ain't even have to be there and he knew it wasn't right
[01:45.58]Now he gotta deal wit it for the rest of his life
