[Intro]
Welcome
Ya see, what we wanna talk about today
Is dimes that turn to pennies
Women that turn to bitches
Honeys that turn to hoes
I know y'all out there know exactly what I'm talkin' about
Somebody that'll take their welfare check
And go buy some weed, new outfit, do shit like that
Yo, fellas, help me sing
Come on

[Verse 2]
I used to see her at school
She always talked to the older dudes
The ones with nice clothes and all the shoes
(I guess I shoulda knew)
She grew up fast in a short time
Older body but her actions showed a young mind
I mean this girl was so fine
Whoa, who woulda known

[Pre-Chorus]
Who would have known
She would have grown to become
(She's a)

[Chorus]
Drug running, Jeep jumpin'
Club frontin', know nothing (Oh yeah)
Dick suckin', smoke something
Booster hustlin', dealer fuckin' (Damn, damn)
Roller duckin', street lovin'
Six children, no husband
Beauty queen
(Who would've known, who would've known)
Drug running, Jeep jumpin'
Club frontin', know nothing
Dick suckin', smoke something
Booster hustlin', dealer fuckin'
Roller duckin', street lovin'
Six children, no husband
Beauty queen
(I can't believe you, who would have known)

[Verse 2]
I'm away, my stay
You was treated like you was a supermodel
Had your little Gucci, Dolce & Gabanna and your Prada
Then you went and got yourself a no good baby father (Ooh, you)
Started going down (Down), sleeping around (Around)
Look at you (Look at you) now (Now) now (Now)
Disrespecting yourself, giving it up, easy to touch
Ready to fuck, now they just callin' you slut, why, oh yeah yeah

[Pre-Chorus]
Who would've known
She would have grown to become

[Chorus]
Drug running, Jeep jumpin'
Club frontin', know nothing
Dick suckin', smoke something
Booster hustlin', dealer fuckin'
Roller duckin', street lovin'
Six children, no husband
Beauty queen
(Oh, you are)
Drug running, Jeep jumpin'
Club frontin', know nothing
Dick suckin', smoke something
Booster hustlin', dealer fuckin'
Roller duckin', street lovin'
Six children, no husband
Beauty queen

[Bridge]
(I'm talking to my ghetto)
Ghetto beauty queen, how will you find a king
When you're searchin' for one thing, oh
(You know, you know)
Know you want the nicer things
Get a job and buy them things
(That's right)
Ain't like he got you a ring (Uh oh)
Close your legs, don't let him in between
Don't you know that you're a queen
(I'm talking to my ghetto queen)

[Chorus]
Drug running, Jeep jumpin'
Club frontin', know nothing (Oh yeah)
Dick suckin', smoke something
Booster hustlin', dealer fuckin' (Oh oh oh yeah)
Roller duckin', street thuggin'
Six children, no husband
Beauty queen
(You deserve to be so much better, baby)
Drug running, Jeep jumpin'
Club frontin', know nothing
Dick suckin', smoke something
Booster hustlin', dealer fuckin'
Roller duckin', street thuggin'
Six children, no husband
Beauty queen
(Why, why, why, why, why, why, yeah)

[Outro over Chorus]
Check this out now
Dru Hill said you're sleeping in their bed
Then the twins said you slept with Jagged Edge
112 said you gave them all head
Why girl, why, yeah
(I don't know what you're talking about)
