Original Sample: "Have You Seen Her" By: The Chi-Lites
lyrics
(Nappy Nina)
go head in the rain cuz you got it/
turn your disdain into profit /
My pockets light as a feather from being modest/ it’s lawless, honest this wasnt what was promised/
(Carthage)
What was promised was the success of their kin
Living a life full of sin
Sorry momma but I’m packing it in
Been listless in the motherland
Searching for a helping hand
Stumble and fall
In the midst of it all
Yeah, yeah
Twisting and trifling
My frail cadence was formed
On the day I was born
Safe to say I was torn between my hopes and expectations
Shackles of Hades on you,
Move past your hesitations nigga
Andale, Andale
Vamos aqui
So sweet to me
We’re blushing equally
Felt my worth increase tenfold in her midst
Been shrouded in mist
No, this aint a diss
Just a meek spurning
Got my stomach churning
Got my heart yearning
Modest in my provinces
Honest in my promises
Yeah, yeah
(Nappy Nina)
go head in the rain cuz you got it/
turn your disdain into profit /
My pockets light as a feather from being modest/ it’s lawless, honest this wasnt what was promised/
