[Ebm] _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _
_ [B] _ So, when did you fall in love with hip hop?
[Ab] _ _
_ Well, you know what we're gonna do is go back.
[G] Way [Cm] back, _ _ _ oh, [Gm] way back.
_ _ [Em] [Cm] I _ _ met him when I was a [Gm] little girl.
He gave, he gave me [D] poetry and he was my first.
[Cm] _ But in my heart I knew he [Gm] wasn't the only one.
Causing the tables to turn, he had to break.
But whenever [Cm] I got lonely, [Gm] needed some advice.
He gave me his shoulder, [Cm] his words were very nice.
That is all I need, [Gbm] smelling is no [Gm] other.
My love is in his mind, my friend became the love of my [Dm] life.
[Cm] You are [Gm] my [Eb] friend, [Gm] love of my life.
I can't [Eb] depend, love of my [Gm] life.
[Eb] Your [Gm] baby is like a sample to love, yeah.
Let me see [N] it, let me see it.
Hot damn and I can't be stopped, cause I'm like DMC and I'm as light as a rock. _ _ _
What's up, D?
What you got?
I got this.
Well, my name is Apple and I rock your world.
I'm also known as the Gucci girl.
Well, I'm super cute and plenty bad.
30, 26, 36 and a half.
I hope that you will realize I got the hazel eyes that are in the tie.
And I get to your knees, make you eat cheese.
You be so helpless, you be begging me, please.
_ _ [G] Y'all, shut up.
_ _ Freak, freak, y'all.
If you don't stop, to [Cm] the beat, y'all.
If you don't stop, a freak, freak.
Oh, would it be that it was all just [Gm] so simple then?
A teenage love, [N] a suicide, he's just a friend.
[Cm] _ He moved around and we kept [Gm] in touch through his friend line.
The world was young and we knew we couldn't rush.
[Cm] But whenever I got lonely or needed some advice, [Gm] he gave me his shoulder.
[Abm] His words were very nice.
That is all behind [Db] me.
Because now there is no other.
My [Fm] love has evened in this [Gm] night.
My friend became your love.
Love of my life, you [Eb] are my [Ebm] friend.
[C] Love of my [Gm] _
life, no one can defeat.
Love of my life, [Eb] my baby [Bb] feels like [Gm] a symbol of true love.
_ _ Y'all know [Cm] how I met her.
We broke up, got back together.
To get her back, I had to [Gm] sweat her.
Thought she'd roll with bad [Cm] boys forever.
In many ways, them boys made her better.
To grow, I had to let her.
She needed sugar and I understood that.
Look at the shoes that don't make her a hoodlock.
In fact, she's a queen to me.
I like jeans on me.
I knew it when she [Eb] said it to me.
She's like [Dm] that, I had her.
[Eb] You know you [Ebm] rock [Bb] my world.
[Gm] I'll be boy and [G] I'll be girl.
[Eb] Let [Bb] it [Eb] go, stop, let me do [Bb] the break [Gm] down.
You know _ _ _ _ [Gb] _ [Eb] _ _ [Dm] _
[Eb] _ you [Ebm] rock [Bb] my _ [Gm] world.
I'll be boy and I'll be [D] girl.
[Eb] _ [Dm]
[Eb] Let it go, stop, [Gm] let me _ _ _ do _ _ [Bbm] _ [Dm] _ [Eb] _ [Dm] _
[Cm] _ _ [Eb] _ [Bb] _ the break down.
