I Used to Love H.E.R. - Common
Yes  yes  y'all and you don't stop
To the beat ya'll and you don't stop
Yes yes  y'all and you don't stop
1  2  ya'll and you don't stop
Yes yes ya'll and you don't stop
And to the beat Com sense'll
Be the sure shot
Come on
I met this girl
When I was ten years old
And what I loved most
She had so much soul
She was old school
When I was just a shorty
Never knew throughout
My life she would be there for me
On the regular
Not a church girl she was secular
Not about the money
Those studs was mic checking her
But I respected her
She hit me in the heart
A few New York niggas
Had did her in the park
But she was there for me
And I was there for her
Pull out a chair for her
Turn on the air for her
And just cool out
Cool out and listen to her
Sitting on a bone
Wishing that I could do her
Eventually if it was meant to be
Then it would be
Cause we related  physically and mentally
And she was fun then
I'd be geeked when she'd come around
Slim was fresh yo
When she was underground
Original  pure  untampered
A down sister
Boy I tell ya  I miss her
Yes  yes  y'all and you don't stop
To the beat ya'll and you don't stop
Yes yes  y'all and you don't stop
1  2  ya'll and you don't stop
Yes yes ya'll and you don't stop
And Com sense y'all and you don't stop
Yes yes ya'll and you don't stop
You act and you goonna be the sure shot
Now periodically I would see
Old girl at the clubs
And at the house parties
She didn't have a body
But she started getting thick quick
Did a couple of videos
And became Afrocentric
Out goes the weave
In goes the braids beads medallions
She was on that tip
About stopping the violence
About my people she was teaching me
By not preaching to me
But speaking to me
In a method that was leisurely
So easily I approach
She dug my rap
That's how we got close
But then she broke to the West coast
And that was cool
Cause around the same time
I went away to school
And I'm a man of expanding
So why should I stand in her way
She probably get her money in L A
And she did stud  she got big pub
But what was foul
She said that the pro-black
Was going out of style
She said  Afrocentricity
Was of the past
So she got into R&B hip-house
Bass and jazz
Now black music is
Black music and it's all good
I wasn't salty  she was
With the boys in the hood
Cause that was good for her
She was becoming well rounded
I thought it was d**e
How she was on that freestyle sh*t
Just having fun  not worried about anyone
And you could tell by how her titties hung
Yes  yes  y'all and you don't stop
To the beat ya'll and you don't stop
Yes yes  y'all and you don't stop
1  2  ya'll and you don't stop
Yes yes ya'll and you don't stop
And to the beat Com sense'll
Be the sure shot
Yes yes ya'll and you don't stop
Check it on  check it on
I might've failed to mention
That this chick was creative
Once the man got to her
He altered her native
Told her if she got
An image and a gimmick
That she could make money
And she did it like a dummy
Now I see her in commercials
She's universal
She used to only swing it
With the inner-city circle
Now she be in the burbs
Looking rock and dressing hippie
And on some dumb sh*t
When she comes to the city
Talking about popping Glocks
Serving rocks and hitting switches
Now she's a gangsta rolling
With gangsta b**ches
Always smoking blunts a
Nd getting drunk
Telling me sad stories
Now she only f**ks with the funk
Stressing how hardcore
And "real" she is
She was really the realest
Before she got into showbiz
I did her  not just
To say that I did it
But I'm committed
(giiirl  he's committed)
But so many niggas hit it
That she's just not the same
Letting all these groupies do her
I see niggas slamming her
And taking her to the sewer
But I'mma take her back
Hoping that the sh*t stop
Cause who I'm talking
Bout y'all is hip-hop
To the beat ya'll and you don't stop
Yes yes  y'all and you don't stop
My friend you gonna get to be the sure shot
Yes yes ya'll and you don't stop
To the beat ya'll and you don't stop
Yes  yes  y'all and you don't stop
1  2  Common Sense is gonna drop
Ha ha ha  I used to love her
Uh uh uh I used to love her
Uh uh uh I used to love her
Uh uh uh I used to love her
Uh uh uh I used to love her
Uh uh uh I used to love her
Hoping that the sh*t stop
