Fabulous
jaheim feat. tha rayne Lyrics

Young cat got back, did a little bid
A young person served time in jail, but has since become tough and buff.

Now he hard, he buff, he tough, doo rag and Timbs
He is now physically strong and tough, and wearing a doo rag and Timbs (type of boots).

Kinda hard to get a job back out on the block
It's difficult to find a job back on the same street where he was previously involved in illegal activity.

Charge that to the game
Accept it as a consequence of the situation.

Young girl she grew up in a rush
A young girl had to grow up quickly and didn't have a childhood.

Had it bad, no dad, she don't know who to trust
She had a difficult life without a father figure and has trouble trusting others.

Every man she ever loved only want to crush
Every man who she has loved has only wanted to hurt her emotionally.

But it's all gravy, hey baby
Despite the difficulties, everything is alright.

Shots get popped, the cops shut down the party
Police ended a party by firing their guns to disperse people.

Jeans sag low, blow smoke out of Dutches
Wearing low-sagging jeans and smoking Dutches (type of cigar), a sign of their lifestyle culture.

We've got love for why'all but why'all don't love us
We have positive feelings towards others, but they don’t return our feelings.

So we swerve in the Suburban switchin' lanes
Driving erratically in a large SUV, switching lanes abruptly.

Spend up all our dough on them chrome and thangs
Spending all their money on flashy car accessories.

Name our kids some funny names
Choosing humorous or unconventional names for their children.

Don't hate on us, we're fabulous
As a way of self-affirmation, they tell others not to hate on them because they are fabulous.

Prepaid cellies for local calls
They use pre-paid cell phones to make local calls.

Lil dons and divas up at the malls
Their children (little dons and divas) are at the mall shopping.

Rockin' cornrow twist, that's how we roll
They prefer to wear cornrow twists as a hairstyle, it’s their way of life.

They met, he said how she was a dime
When they first met, he complimented her, saying she was attractive.

So naïve that she believed every single line
She was too inexperienced to understand that the guy was lying.

Seventeen, first time slipped up, 'bout to have a child
She made a mistake at age 17, and is now pregnant with her first child.

But it's all gravy, hey baby
Despite the situation, everything is still alright.

With all that we've got
With everything we have in life.

And no matter whatever together we'll weather the storm
Whatever problems we face, we will get through them together.

And meanwhile with all we got it might get rough, but
Even though we have a lot, we might still face difficulties.

It's alright
It will all be okay in the end.

'Cause you-N-I-T-why is all we need
All they need is each other (you and I) in life.

To get are-E-S-P-E-see-T
To earn respect from others.

And never G-I-V-E you-P
Never give up or quit in life.

And keep your H-E-A-D you-P
Keep your head up and stay positive.
