Back in ’98 we started talking on the phone
Not a month had gone, I couldn’t leave her alone
A love jones, although I never met her
But I knew her reputation, I had to get
I had to sweat her, she don’t date many guys
Sent me her picture, beautiful eyes
Philly girl, really girl? Real pretty girl
Vivica body, hair up in frilly curls
Pennelope, Ivy, from a famous family
The Ivies, huh? I knew of them well
Two older sisters Havlyn and Danyale
Had Havlyn's number, never gave her a call
She’ll hurt a brother, she’ll break your balls
And Danyale? She’s off the wall
Heart breaker, gold-chaser, Spring and Fall
But here’s Pennelope, the youngest daughter
Before we got together, I had to meet her father
That’s no problem, I look good on paper
I impressed the man, he allowed me to date her
Call it fate, brother, I’m falling in love
Just a year ago, I don’t know who she was
Now I’m moving to Philly just to be with her
We move in together on July 5th
Engaged, then married the 6th of August
All the expense, paid by her dad
A condo, car, and a job, this ain’t bad
I can’t be mad, everything was new
And she look so cute in her bathing suit
But after a month or two, we began to argue
Her dad wanted too much say in our life
His career advice was causing us to fight
He said he saw me as the corporate type
I said not tonight, I got raps to write
But we talked it out, we healed the damage
I agreed to give a try if he didn’t micromanage
That’s what’s up, we back in love
Having fun, damn, marriage tough
We at fancy dinners, that ain’t really my situation
But she paying for this, who was I to disagree
She knows people, judges and mayors
Telling me I’d get somewhere if I’d cut my hair
I put up with this because I’m in love with P
But she worries me, I think she might agree
Like we talked last night, you should have seen her face
I told her I needed the summer to work a death penalty case
We living apart, she said she needed space
I got my own place so I could start my case
|
Told her get off my case, that was rude to say
But she got foolish ways, I refuse to chase
She called a month later, hated being alone
She apologized, asked me to come home
Knocked on the door, she’s on her cell phone
I let her in, took her coat and purse
Nude underneath, to the point and terse
Just in time for our anniversary the first
Reunited, but less and less
I can’t account for it, I blamed it on stress
And the next summer, we apart the same
I stayed in Philly, she in France and Spain
I can’t be blamed, August 6th again
This time, we hardly celebrate
No dinner party, just a candled cake
It’s best that way, ah-huh, besides
I don’t like her friends, her friends don’t like mine
Third year of marriage, and I had enough
Everything we talk we fight about trust
Not the kind of trust that shows we have love
But the kind that sits in bank and builds up
Her families rich, they gave us much
But these are her dream, I never asked for stuff
It’s like I won the lottery but missed the pay off
Tell your dad to lay off before I get laid off
I was never raised soft, now we’re getting divorced
Of course I lost, she packed the courts
The judge on the case owed her family a favor
Didn’t agree to the terms, but I still signed
She keep what’s hers and took half of mine
With the pass of time, she’s calling again
I thought this was the end, she wants to be friends
You must be kidding, the hell it’s been
The heartache and pain from the hell I’m in
We can’t be on again, that’d be wrong again
We got divorced once, take the warning
Because the next morning we’d be boring again
Too much time as passed, a lots happened
I almost killed myself, where were you then?
You only care about wealth, f**k you Penn, f**k you
