Boy: uncle montelly yo..

may you please read us a story please

Montell: nah,

I don't feel much like telling a story today kid

Girl: please, read us a story

Montell: I said no kid

Both kids: please! Read us a story

Montell: okay..here we go

Now listen to the words that I say

Cause this type of song will take you back in the day

It all started back in cali-from-I-A

Where the khakis hang low and gangbangers don't play

Put on my drawers

Walked down the hall

Kissed my apollonian poster on the wall

My first day of high school, on my way

You need to eat your breakfast

Mom I am late

funky fresh, stepped into the school

And that's when I say her standing with this dude

Young, tender, sweet denise

To take her on a date you need a $1000 at least

Plus she's used to dating dope dealers

Cats with felonies who tote heaters

You wont believe what's in the 2nd verse

You better buckle up, its bout to get worse

Can't believe that that's Denise

The one from high school

With the dope body

But now she is out there going for broke

And all her dreams went up in smoke

2 years later, and things have changed

Hip hop evolved into a whole new game

NWA7s holding down my block

Denise graduated the school of hard knocks

She made a few connects

Didn't skip a beat

Got a little deeper hooked up on the street

And wherever they led her, she would follow

Now she rocks fashions like a runway model

Jewelry, Louis, Gucci and guess

Delivering more packages than UPS

From Miami to NY

Sometimes to Rome

But niecy always seemed to make it back home

Now I am 18 and to my surprise

Niecy got babies by 2 different guys

And cause of dem kids she aint moving the same

She put herself out there

Who's to blame?

She's not a superwoman nah

She is not that kind of girl that you can lay down

And think that everything is ok

She's only human, oh

This girl is always on the go

Hurt on occasional

Used by so many dudes

Aww! Poor Denise

She's out on the streets

But that's not how I'll end this story

You kind of got to use your imagination

To figure out Niecy's situation

…I'll tell you this….its not that great

She's got an addiction that she just cant shake

From rags to riches, riches to rags

The story of Denise is so so sad
