Not the Average
Jeru the Damaja Lyrics

I met this honey named Yolanda
I met a woman named Yolanda

You would not believe the things that I told her
I told Yolanda unbelievable things

She had potential so I thought that I would mold her (Break it down son)
I saw potential in Yolanda and wanted to shape her into someone better

You would usually see me and her around town
People frequently saw me and Yolanda together

She had this way that was so sexy
Yolanda had a very appealing quality

Everytime I think about it-makes me woozy
Thinking of Yolanda made me dizzy or overwhelmed

And her ??? was just so nice and juicy
Yolanda had an attractive body part

Plus a mind that you would not believe, no tricks up her sleeve
Yolanda had a very intelligent mind and was not deceitful

So we dated, like Janet Jackson, we waited
Yolanda and I waited before becoming intimate, like the singer Janet Jackson's song 'Let's Wait Awhile'

A while and waited and waited
We waited a long time before becoming intimate

I started to wonder would I ever get in it
I began to doubt whether I would ever be intimate with her

Finally the invitation was extended
Yolanda invited me to her place

With that I said "Mi casa es su casa"
I said, "My house is your house"

Meet me at my pad tomorow-about six o'clock
We arranged to meet at my place the next day at around 6pm

No question-the next day, we kissin' and caressin'
The next day, we were kissing and touching each other

Before long, we starts to undress and
We began to take our clothes off

With that I pulls out my pack of hats
I took out a pack of condoms

She looks me dead in the eye and says "What's that?"
Yolanda asked what the condoms were for

I said "Don't tell me you don't know what condoms is for"
I was surprised that Yolanda didn't know what condoms were for

She says "Yeah, but the average nigga I love to hit it raw"
Yolanda admitted that she usually had unprotected sex

And I said I'm not your average nigga
I told Yolanda I was not like other men she had been with

Girlfriend, I'm not your average nigga No, no I'm not your average nigga
I emphasized that I was different from other men she had been with

I met this honey named Tamika
I met another woman named Tamika

My intentions was more than just to freak her
I was interested in having a serious relationship with Tamika

Since I'm gone I thought that I teach her (Where'd you meet her at, black?)
Since I was already involved with Yolanda, I thought I could teach Tamika

The Tunnel so you know it didn't happen like that
However, I actually met Tamika in a different place, not at The Tunnel

I got her name and her number
I exchanged contact information with Tamika

I said "Girlfriend, I just wonder, Could you come home with me?" She said "Uh-uh,
I asked Tamika to come home with me, but she refused

But you got the digits-ring me up tomorow and see where it leaves ya at
However, she gave me her number and suggested we see each other another time

We planned to hook up that next weekend
We arranged to meet the following weekend

We discussed the place of our meeting, she said "Come to my projects,
Tamika suggested we meet at her housing project

Sometimes niggaz be buggin, but I get mad respect"
She warned me that sometimes there could be trouble in her neighborhood, but she was well-respected there

So like a dummy, I went to scoop up this young honey
I went to pick up Tamika despite the potential danger

Gassed up by the fat ass and flat tummy
I was attracted to her body

But when I rolled up It start to look just like a set-up
However, things started to look suspicious

Now I'm mad hot, but this time I played it cool
I was angry but remained calm and tried not to show it

Recognized one nigga I used to run with in high school
I saw an old acquaintance from high school there

I said "You know Tamika?" He said "Yeah I know the whore"
I asked if he knew Tamika and he insulted her

Got me on the elevator and led me to her door
The acquaintance took me to Tamika's apartment

When I rung the bell she was mad surprised
Tamika was surprised when I arrived

She flung the door wide open with a wild look in her eyes
Tamika opened the door widely with a crazed look

You see, I'm not your average nigga You can't get me cuz I'm not your average nigga
I told Tamika that I was different from other men she had been with

Mista, I'm not your average nigga No, I'm not your average nigga
I reiterated that I was not like other men she had been with

I met this honey named Sabrina
I met yet another woman named Sabrina

I thought that this time this one would be the Queen of My dreams, but you know how that goes (God, I heard it before)
I had hoped that Sabrina would be the perfect woman for me, but I had been disappointed before

So let me tell you what happened one day I'm outside her door
I encountered Sabrina outside her apartment

And we're talking about how her ex-boyfriend be stalking
Sabrina told me about her ex-boyfriend who was stalking her

She said she thought she saw him when we were walking
She thought she saw him while we were together

But I said "Don't worry about it, Put that shit to the side, and slide up in the crib"
I told her not to worry about it and to come into her apartment with me

So we're lampin', she's still shook up about what happened
We were in her apartment hanging out, but Sabrina was still disturbed by the stalking

I said "Don't sweat it, he's probably just rappin'"
I tried to reassure her that her ex-boyfriend might just be talking and not actually hurting her

She said "Little do you know, Last week he threw a brick threw my bedroom window"
Sabrina revealed that her ex-boyfriend had actually thrown a brick through her bedroom window

I said "Whatever, I don't think he's that crazy"
I tried to downplay the situation and not worry too much about her ex-boyfriend

She said "You never, know where he may be"
Sabrina warned me that her ex-boyfriend could show up at any time

All of a sudden, out of nowhere The crazy mothafucka jumped out on me
Suddenly her ex-boyfriend appeared and attacked me

I made him melt with a blow to the head
I hit him on the head and knocked him out

And before I bounced, this is what I said
Before leaving, I said one last thing

Yo I'm not your average nigga No, I'm not your average nigga You can't get me cuz I'm not your average nigga
I repeated my earlier message to Sabrina that I was not like other men she had been with

Mista, I'm not your average nigga No, I'm not your average nigga Oh no, you know, I'm not your average nigga
I reiterated that I was different from other men she had been with
