Yo,
I knew this girl named alana with mad persona
She delt with reality never fed it to the drama
I met her through my nigga named jermaine palmer
Who knew her through his peoples by the baltimore harbor
Alana was a marylan' thurough and attractive
Shorty that's relaxed with me and kickin back
Wif a phat flick to cool out
Was stressed cause the game'll make you wanna pull a tool out
And go the old school route
But all-a that cease - when that piece checkin the jewel out
A bruver was charged - light a spliff and listen to the dabarge
Let the shorty hit me wif a massage to annoint
Lubricatin my maridian points that was the summer easy to remember
Alana was all up on - to read the gender how i used to back bender
She even told her best friend blinda from virginia
Who asked me if i had a cousin i could recomend-a
But as time float on we grew more mature - and further apart
When i began to do tours, we lost contact
And slowly parted - reminissin of when it started
It keep me feelin heavy hearted - a stolen moment periodic
Addicted to her presence like a narcotic
Though i wonder if she ever got it - the hypnotic
That faded like a dream sequence that pursuaded
Beyond being infatuated - spiritually intoxicated
Comps are dated - i concentrated
On how to get in touch with her
Cuase the fact of the matter remain that i miss the hypnotic

I would begin to dial -
Her number but knowin it's been awhile it's hard to link
I figure what she probly think and soon start to drink
Fightin the feelin i'm concealin apparently i first appealin
Later revealin to be deeper - resistance increasingly weaker
The essence of life is more than just mic's and puffin reefa
This universe of black thought that i can teach ya
I'm tryin to touch ya only if i can reach ya
I hit this kid i sign up on his beepa
And ask him if a had a chance to speak ta
Jermaine palmer who fathers a preacha
To make the story short me and my man soon ran
Into each other von the humble at a show in san fran
I said "yo palma, when did you last see alana"?
He offer me a seat and attempts to make me calma
When he began to break it down my mind start to wander
Response beyond somber incredible crushed
Kinda feelin on my shoulder - that of a boulder
To find out that her life was over - it made the room feel colder
I thought i could get wif her when she was a little older
But she a victim of the wicked system that controlled-a it's all chaotic
But if my life it's symbolic forever shadow on my mental i never forgot it
Yo the psycotic, the hypnotic check it out the most melodic hypnotic
