lyrics
I first met her when my parents they were out of town,
See that was like the only time my brother would bring a girl around,
I’d heard about this one before, always thought I’d turn her away,
But now she was inside my house so what was I supposed to say,
First I didn't get it man I thought she was ugly,
With so many that she would say that really kinda bugged me,
She was loud, obnoxious and oh so rude,
Always talking this shit like she had something to prove,
But then she song this song to me, called juicy,
And I couldn't believe what this music could do to me,
This was unlike anything that I had heard before,
Cause anytime I got a taste, I was left wanting more.

Chorus
Dear lady hip hop, I wrote this for you,
Cause my heart is wrapped up in everything that you do,
From this life to the next, I promise to stay true,
Every time I grab the Mic for the check one two
-----
Exchanged vows over drunken freestyles,
Proclaiming we found a love to span miles and miles,
Like I beckon MC solemnly swear,
To take you by the hats, bass line and snare,
Through sickness and poorness, round the world and its corners,
You will always stay important as we both move forward,
And I will forgive the mistakes that you make,
Cause any time you do it right, well you take my breath away.

Chorus

Like any good relationship there’s much that I learnt,
Over beers that we shared over tree’s that we burnt,
Biggy gave me ten steps on how to sell crack,
Matter fact, quite a few seemed to help out with that,
Lupe showed me that daydreaming pays,
While the hoods taught me not to judge people on the train,
Nas let me know I could get by with one mic,
Jurassic 5 showed me what feedback sounded like,
Blessed to be schooled on a laid back flow,
By a tribe called quest and solo in Horrorshow,
And to Nujabes may he rest in peace,
I learnt that not every track needs to have an MC.
