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) | |
[ verse 2 ] | |
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 u) | |
[ verse 3 ] | |
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 | |

I cram to understand u) | |
[ verse 4 ] | |
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) | |
[ verse 5 ] | |
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 |
