Montell Jordan Lyrics for Song: Denise
 Lyrics for Album: Other Songs - Montell Jordan
 
 
 
 26657>[Intro]
 
 [Boy:] uncle montelly yo..
 
 may you please read us a story please
 
 [Montell:] nah,
 
 I don't feel much like telling a story today kid
 
 [Girl:] please, read us a story
 
 [Montell:] I said no kid
 
 [Both kids:] please! Read us a story
 
 [Montell:] okay..here we go
 
 
 
 [Verse 1]
 
 Now listen to the words that I say
 
 Cause this type of song will take you back in the day
 
 It all started back in cali-from-I-A
 
 Where the khakis hang low and gangbangers don't play
 
 Put on my drawers
 
 Walked down the hall
 
 Kissed my apollonian poster on the wall
 
 My first day of high school, on my way
 
 "You need to eat your breakfast"]
 
 Mom I am late
 
 ...funky fresh, stepped into the school
 
 And that's when I say her standing with this dude
 
 Young, tender, sweet denise
 
 To take her on a date you need a $1000 at least
 
 Plus she's used to dating dope dealers
 
 Cats with felonies who tote heaters
 
 You wont believe what's in the 2nd verse
 
 You better buckle up, its bout to get worse
 
 
 
 [Chorus]
 
 Can't believe that that's Denise
 
 The one from high school
 
 With the dope body
 
 But now she is out there going for broke
 
 And all her dreams went up in smoke
 
 [Repeat 2X]
 
 
 
 [Verse 2]
 
 2 years later, and things have changed
 
 Hip hop evolved into a whole new game
 
 NWA7s holding down my block
 
 Denise graduated the school of hard knocks
 
 She made a few connects
 
 Didn't skip a beat
 
 Got a little deeper hooked up on the street
 
 And wherever they led her, she would follow
 
 Now she rocks fashions like a runway model
 
 Jewelry, Louis, Gucci and guess
 
 Delivering more packages than UPS
 
 From Miami to NY
 
 Sometimes to Rome
 
 But niecy always seemed to make it back home
 
 Now I am 18 and to my surprise
 
 Niecy got babies by 2 different guys
 
 And cause of dem kids she aint moving the same
 
 She put herself out there
 
 Who's to blame?
 
 
 
 [Chorus]
 
 
 
 [Bridge]
 
 She's not a superwoman nah
 
 She is not that kind of girl that you can lay down
 
 And think that everything is ok
 
 She's only human, oh
 
 This girl is always on the go
 
 Hurt on occasional
 
 Used by so many dudes
 
 
 
 [Verse 3]
 
 Aww! Poor Denise
 
 She's out on the streets
 
 But that's not how I'll end this story
 
 You kind of got to use your imagination
 
 To figure out Niecy's situation
 
 ...I'll tell you this...its not that great
 
 She's got an addiction that she just cant shake
 
 From rags to riches, riches to rags
 
 The story of Denise is so so sad
 
 
 
 [Hook 3X]
