Now in my younger days, I used to score the staaack when I went to school, I carried licenses And that bag was forever for my teacher, cause I knew I'd get a kiss Always got mad when the class was dismissed, but when it was a session, I always had a question I would raise my hand to make a snack come through my chest, can't help me with my problems, it was never much Just a chick to smell her ***, I'd try to sneak a touch Oh wow, I wish I could hold her hand and give her a hug She was married to the man, he was a thug, his name was Lee, he drove a Z, he picked her up from school probably at 3 o'clock I was on her jock, yes indeedy, I wrote graffiti on the bus, first I write her name in cardboard plus With my name last, most unlucky last, I seen her yesterday but still I had to let her pass She keeps on passin' me by She keeps on passin' me by She keeps on passin' me by She keeps on passin' me by When I dream of fairytales, I think of me and Shelly She's my type of hype and I can't stand when brothers tell me I should quit chasing and look for something better But the smile that she shows makes me a go-getter I haven't gone as far as asking if I could get with her I just play love by ear and hope she gets the picture I'm shooting for her heart, got my finger on the trigger She can be my broad and I can be her nigga All I can do is stay up, back as kids we used to kiss when we played truth or dare Now she's more sophisticated, highly edumacated, not at all overrated I think I need a prayer to get in her book and it looks rather dry I guess a twinkle in her eye is just a twinkle in her eye Although she's crazy steppin', I'll try and stop the stride Cause I won't have no more of this passin' me by Time for me to voice my opinion, can't be pretendin' she didn't have me Sprung like a chicken, chasin' myself like a doggie She was kinda like a star, singin' I was like a fan Damn, she looked good, downside she had a man He was the Rudy toot, a nickin' poot She told me soon your little birdie's gonna fly the coop She was a flake like corn, and I was born not to understand By lettin' her pass, I proved to be a better man Think it's a blessing to be fine Think it's a blessing to be fine Think it's a blessing to be fine Think it's a blessing to be Now there she goes again, the dope is Ethiopian And now the world around me begins movin' in slow motion Whenever she happens to walk by, why does the apple of my eye Overlook and disregard my feelings no matter how much I try Wait, no, I did not really pursue my little princess with persistence And I was so low-key that she was unaware of my existence From a distance I designed her, secretly admired her Wired her, a letter, together, and it went My dear, my dear, my dear, you do not know me, but I know you very well Now let me tell you about the feelings I did for you when I tried Or make some sort of attempt, I simp Damn, I wish I wasn't such a wimp Cause then I would let you know that I love you So when I fall for your man, then I would be true The only lying I would do is send him to bed with you Then I'd find that she was the one who loves you dearly Cause P.S. loved me tender But the letter came back three days later We turned to sender Damn, she came so fast She came so fast She came so fast She came so fast She came so fast She came so fast She came so fast I won't tell no one else Won't tell no one else I won't tell no one else She keeps passing me by She keeps passing me by She keeps passing me by She keeps passing me by
