Jessica
Tito Lopez Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

I remember skipping school lunch, bleaching my toothbrush
Cleaning off my hat, so I look dapper for my new crush
She was so G, probably see her rocking Blue Blush
Nose ring, only fourteen she was too much
See them other dudes rush, up to the school bus
Just to see her in her daisy dukes and in her new chucks
She go right through us, over to them older niggas
I don't even know the niggas, but I'm bout' to show the niggas
So I go approach her, by this time I should know the life that I had was simple
Church, chicken and?
I knew if I could sport her all my niggas would hate it
But little did I know that her life was so complicated
She told me you don't wanna fuck with me, go mess with them other hoes
My daddy sip brandy, my momma put candy up her noes
I know that I'm damaged good, fucked every man in the hood
I'd have you planned if I could, just to bounce
Girl, I understand what you go through, life is hard, it's so true
I just wanna be with you, baby
Be with you
I just wanna be with you, baby
Be with you
And I don't know, what it is that you do
That got me wanting to call you my boo-boo
I just wanna be with you, baby
I just wanna be with you, baby
Verse two, you see me like two years later, she still on my mind
Still ain't got a deal on paper but still on my grind
Nine weeks before we walk and she stop coming to class
I hope this ain't one of my deepest fears coming to pass
I come in and ask, Ms. Blake, where Jessica, she still sick?
Jessica ain't sick, she quit on our last field trip
Damn, I guess I just sat there and let her fail
Fuck it, I take her to a job and she do hair and nails
I see her getting perm, I snatch her up by the seat
While she yelling it burns, tell her shut up it's my turn
She tell me go home, don't stress me
I know everything about you, she say no you don't, don't test me
Ain't know that I was six when I had my uncle molest me
Got pregnant by your nigga, straight aborted it and left me
I guess the, only thing that I can say is I can sing
I mean I ain't no Mariah, but I stay in my range
I tell her, girl you got a voice
That mean you got a choice
I can help you with that
Don't you know that I rap?
She say don't throw me that crap, who you think you is, Jay Z?
And me being famous is crazy
I say baby you amaze me
How somebody so beautiful can be so lazy
Hell, fuck it it's all gravy
You go ahead and wash that perm out before your hair burn out
I'll hate to see how you turn out
Verse three, you see me like three years later, my name on the rise
All my niggas? it ain't no surprise
I mean I rhyme a few bars, so I can buy a few cars
Then I kick a few flows, so I can rip a few shows
But still, she cross my mind from time to time
That's life, yours is yours, and mine is mine
Watched the first 48, checked the name on every case
And pray, I don't see her body from crime to crime
Mixtapes got it popping but I need to get on
And before I do that imma' need a hit song
It got me shook up, they telling me Lo', you need melody
Need hits for chicks, let me see what I can cook up
My partner say I got this new singer that I just booked up
They say her name Jessie, I bet she can light your hook up




I mean she look good, and she from your old hood
Guess who I seen when I looked up
