[Verse One]
I just wanna take you there
Let me cut the chase she was 18
Pretty young, pretty new to the date scene
Been exposed to fake fiends
But she chose to stay clean
Mommy what's your name
I know that you're tired trusting lames
You can trust me I'm with you
We together you ain't came with me I'm with you
Let's converse I'm straight
Even though you say conversate
See right now you a C
Let me upgrade you to a B
You square I can make you cool
Your boyfriend taking you back he old school
Now what am I really suppose to do
Attraction is pulling me so close to you

[Hook] (Sample in background)
[?]
I just want to take you there
Baby give me a call, how long would it take to break you off?
(Break me off) Yeah break you off
(Break me off) Yeah break you off

[Verse 2]
You suppose to be free
He going take you to DC
Imma take you to BC, Central [?]
Damn it could be easy
Have you even been on a plane yet
War in yet figured out your own lane yet, baby all you got to do is say yes
We can do it in real life
We can be out of here tonight
I'm loving all your features
Your breath smell like peaches
What kind of bubble gum you chewing?
How many sit ups a day do you do if you do 'em?
That stomach is looking right
Call your man up and tell him to take a hike

[Interlude]
Hello? Hello?
Are you there?

[Hook]

[Verse 3]
Take you where you never been
You with him you never win
You with me you never lose
Now get rid of them tennis shoes
I'll teach you what you never knew
I'll put you up on a pedestal
Don't think just listen if and when I come and take you there
I don't care if your so young
You was twelve in '01
Your momma will probably kill me
But your father got to feel me
Look at you your gorgeous
But I think your not sure yet
Mature yet cause you ain't heard bonjour yet tearing up stores on tour yet

[Hook]

Royce da 5'9", real name Ryan Daniel Montgomery, is undoubtedly one of the underground rap kings of Detroit. The Michigan MC is a long-time collaborator of Eminem’s, meeting him in December 1997, and is noted as one of the greatest lyricists in hip-hop’s history (in 2012, The Source ranked him as the 48th greatest lyricist of all time in their top 50, this questionable ranking unsurprisingly being scrutinized by many as a gross misjudgment).

Although critics have previously cast shade on his ability to create a well-rounded body of work, many, critics included, considered his sophomore effort, Death is Certain (2004), to be a strong album. To learn more in-depth about his solo discography, read this page (the page listed is old, so it is not updated).

Royce is the Bad half of Bad Meets Evil (with Eminem), ¼ of Slaughterhouse (alongside Crooked I KXNG CROOKED, Joe Budden and Joell Ortiz), and ½ of PRhyme (with DJ Premier). Royce currently operates a independent record label, Bad Half Entertainment.
