Girl You Know That I'm A G
Lloyd · Other Songs - Lloyd
Now see it was Monday afternoon
Very first day of school
Back of the class makin' girls laugh
Teacher's mad 'cause I'm cuttin' a fool
I'm just doin' what I usually do
Errything's cool, chillin' with the crew
Sayin' "Dang finally, the bell's bouta ring"
That's when this new student walked in the room
My jaw dropped, I felt my heart stop
She's flaw to flaw
This girl's so raw
Man this girl got me hooked like a bra
Like climax, man I paused
See this girl had me sick like the flu
Wish I knew who she was
She's hot like curry, my vision is blurry
But why should I worry
[Chorus x2:]
'Cause I'm a G
Can't let her get to me
But her voice sounds sweeter than a symphony
But I know, know that eventually
She'll find someone else and forget of me
[Hook:]
But I'm a G
(I'm a G)
I'm a G
(I'm a G)
So what could it be
(What could it be)
[Verse 2:]
Now later on got home set down my bags
Got homework, chores: need to take out trash
But see this girl's got me all off task
My hearts beaten fast who could I ask?
Got the phone called Tez
He said "Lloyd what's crackin'?"
I said "Dawg you won't e'en believe what happened."
"I'm chillin' and this girl walked up in the class and
Swear she look just like Janet Jackson
So should I write a letter to her
Or should I send a messenger
I tried to vibe and connect with her
But I didn't have enough guts to step to her
And I really want the best of her
But can I get the rest of her?"
So he told me "Lloyd don't sweat it."
And I said "You're right. Forget it."
[Chorus x2:]
Because I'm a G
Can't let her get to me
But her voice sounds sweeter than a symphony
But I know, know that eventually
She'll find someone else and forget of me
[Hook:]
But I'm a G
(I'm a G)
I'm a G
(I'm a G)
So what could it be
(What could it be)
Oh yeah
I'm a G
