Dont Let This Fool You
When my eye first connected to you
i knew i was getting something true
i walked away with a switch in my hip to impress you
i knew from the jump start you wanted me to be your baby boo
dont let this fool you
im thinking that boy is fine
but they are the one to waste your time
when he walked up to me to spit game
when it was my turn to talk my voice was not the same
dont let this fool you
this me boy you know you looking good
he said you know i have to stay jiggy through the hood
he looked at me up and down like dang shawty
im like what
he said who spring that body
stop playing Jamal ohh yeah that was his name
i said i really like you with no shame
dont let this fool you
he said i know girl
when me and you really get together your going to be my world
what Jamal had just told me was the key to my heart
i thought to myself Jamal and i aint never splitting apart
about 4 in a half years later in life
i was soon to be Jamals wife
remember this Jamal and i had 2 kids and 1 on the way
this is the point where i find out something is wrong with Jamal
Jamal and I went to take our kids on a walk
Jamal fell when he started to talk
i took him to the doctor to find out what went wrong
as i waited in the waitng room i started to sing a love song
when the doctor came to tell me what went wrong
she told me something that i didnt want to hear at all
it wasnt five seconds yet before i started to cry a sea
the doctor exzact words was Jamal Dustin Wright has HIV
