Boroughs

She was from Brooklyn, home of the high tops and cookin'
Bodegas with the corner full of the rookies
Where the veterans be pushin', she learned from the best
But when she got too close, I had to relieve all my strees
Those blacks hit me in Manhattan, her lifestyle seemed tragic
5th Avenue, type glamor steady diving into
Of course she was official, until she heard the guns clapping
She never saw it coming so the scene looked like an accident
But her, she loved all of that fashion shit
Laid in the loft, had the syndrome -- so I played it off like I wasn't attracted, shit
She knew I was wrong for that, she also hated the trafficking
Lusted the money more than what I wanted her to
In Queens I found a queen B, handled all the problems for dude
Treated me like God, but lost her faith -- so now I pity the odds
Let the world catch her, the bottle became her best friend
So everytime I came home she tried to put a leash on her man
Staten Island had me buzzing, riddled with problems by that time
I just wanted shorty to call me up buggin'
Show me she cared, but she was never seen
And I couldn't find her anywhere, so hypothesizing -- I bet she would cheat
Which isn't a thing, I cheated on her -- with the Bronx I preferred
Would show baby girl the extreme benefits of her worth
Though Dominican, she always had time to slow down
Talk to me, and managed to always keep me around
At least for a while
Until the days she said she was bearing a child, and the donor was me
Hold up, if I was ever to bury a seed
I'd be a father, not just buying Jays and sending checks; so right then I knew the donor wasn't me
Skirted, went back to a new place concerned with
Got back to my wicked ways and started off on that flirting shit
All of that resurfaced, shit
I didn't want to revert, so I found a woman that I wanted to build with
From BK to the high-class districts -- Queens to Shaolin
Drama in a Second Language 101 in which I saw everything hard
And I never really liked the Bronx
So I very may well be laying up in Yonkers, only to leave them alone
