 MC LYTE - Not Wit' a Dealer Lyrics

[ performed by MC Lyte and Milk Dee [ ] ]

A friend of mine [Which one?] Cecilia
[Yeah?] has a man [so?] a dealer
[Which one?] Born - Born Supreme
You know the type [Yeah, I know what you mean]
d22c41510b1281219scc22e
Gold and cars [cars and gold
The more he got, yo, the more he sold
He told her he loved her [Huh, gased her head]
Her love he bought just to warm his bed
I tried to tell her, but it went out the other ear
She didn't wanna hear, what I had to say
She just replied this way
[Girl, I love him, he treats me so good
He gets much respect in my neighborhood]
I cram to understand why she wants this man
[Yo, he sold the crack to Sam]

[ CHORUS ]
[I used to be in love]
But not with a dealer
[I used to be in love]
I know how it feels
[I used to be in love]
You make love while he makes deals

The story gets worse, they threaten her life
A guy walked on her [Yo, come here] with a knife
And said [Being with Born is a big mistake
It's a shame your life I have to take
If you leave him now, you'll be alright
If not, you won't make it through the night]
She came to me and said [Lyte, what do I do?]
Forget about Born, or else you're through [Ahh]
She said [But, but I love him!] Hm, I wonder
Is love worth bein six feet under?
Nope [And that's on the real tip]
I think it's time you skip
Town [Hey girl, don't hang around
Or else you'll be goin -]

[ CHORUS ]

Miss C said [No, I'm stayin with my man
He stands by me, so I too must stand]
Girl, you're stupid, you're gonna take a fall
[ *phone rings* ] and then she received a call
[Hello? Listen, baby, they got a contract on me
I know because Brian warned me
I'm outta here, goin back to Cali
Grab your stuff and meet me in the alley]
She grabbed her stuff, the gold and the cash
Headed for the door in a flash
She said [I'm outta here] Now wait just a minute
You know he's a dealer, his windows are tinted
[Naw] He has truck jewelry, and no job
[So?] Carries ducats in [So what?]
Now hell the hell does he get these things?
[I don't know!] The Gucci, the Louis, the Polo rings
[Yeah?] Dealers are bad news, take it from Lyte
They say they kill you, and they might
[You're right, Lyte, you tell no lie
Just let me go say good-bye]
She ran down the stairs in a minute or more
I heard a thunderous roar
[ *shots* ] Born and Cecilia - killed by Uzis
See why it pays to be choosy?

[ CHORUS ]
