I Used To Love H.E.R - Common
I met this girl
when I was ten years old
And what I loved most
she had so much soul
She was old school
when I was just a shorty
Never knew throughout
my life she would be there for me
ont he regular
not a church girl she was secular
Not about the money
no studs was mic checkin her
But I respected her
she hit me in the heart
A few New York niggaz
had did her in the park
But she was there for me
and I was there for her
Pull out a chair for her
turn on the air for her
and just cool out
cool out and listen to her
Sittin on a bone
wishin that I could do her
Eventually if it was meant to be
then it would be
because we related
physically and mentally
And she was fun then
I'd be geeked
when she'd come around
Slim was fresh yo
when she was underground
Original pure untampered
and down sister
Boy I tell ya I miss her

Now periodically I would see
ol girl at the clubs
and at the house parties
She didn't have a body
but she started gettin thick quick
DId a couple of videos
and became afrocentric
Out goes the weave
in goes the braids
beads medallions
She was on that tip about
stoppin the violence
About my people
she was teachin me
By not preachin to me
but speakin to me
in a method that was leisurely
so easily I approached
She dug my rap
that's how we got close
But then she broke
to the West coast
and that was cool
Cause around the same time
I went away to school
And I'm a man of expandin
so why should I stand in her way
She probably get her money in LA
And she did stud
she got big pub but what was foul
She said that the pro-black
was goin out of style
She said afrocentricity
was of the past
So she got into R&B hip-house
bass and jazz
Now black music is
black music and it's all good
I wasn't salty
she was with the boys in the hood
Cause that was good for her
she was becomin well rounded
I thought it was dope
how she was on that freestyle shit
Just havin fun
not worried about anyone
And you could tell
by how her titties hung

I might've failed to mention
that the shit was creative
But once the man got you
well he altered the native
Told her if she got
an energetic gimmick
That she could make money
and she did it like a dummy
Now I see her in commercials
she's universal
She used to only swing it
with the inner-city circle
Now she be in the burbs
lickin rock and dressin hip
And on some dumb shit
when she comes to the city
Talkin about poppin
glocks servin rocks
and hittin switches
Now she's a gangsta rollin
with gangsta bitches
Always smokin blunts
and gettin drunk
Tellin me sad stories
now she only fucks with the funk
Stressin how hardcore
and real she is
She was really the realest
before she got into showbiz
I did her not just to say
that I did it
But I'm committed
but so many niggaz hit it
That she's just not the same lettin
all these groupies do her
I see niggaz slammin her
and takin her to the sewer
But I'ma take her back hopin
that the shit stop
Cause who I'm talkin bout
y'all is hip-hop
