Every Little Girl Lyrics

"Every Little Girl"
(feat. The Product G&B)

[Big Pun] 
Yo yo Angie, come downstairs, the pub is open 
Hurry up ma! Put your socks, put your slippers on! 
C'mon ma hurry! (Alright then, I got it) 

[The Product G&B] 
Oooohhh Angie.. 
Ooo-whoaaaa, yeahhh.. 
Oooh yeah hooooo whoahhhh, ohhh-ye ohhhhh-yeah 

[Angie Martinez] 
Uh, yeah (ooh ooh ooh ooh) 
Uh (ooh ooh ooh ooh) 
Uh-uh-uh uh-ah uh-ah-uh-ah 
I started in Brooklyn, comin up in the game 
Everybody has a story mine wasn't the same 
Angela, delinquent, I thought I was grown 
I went through a lot things way before I was known 
See my moms, she never knew I would make it all start 
She was through with the bad grades, the late nights in the park 
Causin my mom pain, my life was in the dirt 
I played hooky all day while she was hard at work 
Sorry ma, know it was hard and my pops was a jerk 
She packed her sh*t and got us out of there before it got worse 
Moved the fam to Miami in hopes of changin my ways 
A big portion of my mind still remained in a daze 
It wasn't 'til we came back my life matured 
Success would be the only thing that I was fightin for 
I was determined to get there, and keep it hot 
Since that day my only goal was to reach the top 

[Chorus: The Product G&B] 
To every little girl, on every block 
That's comin of age tryin to reach the top 
I said no matter who you are, you can reach the stars 
But never forget, how fragile you are, cause a girl is fragile 

[Angela Martinez] 
It's crazy, when I think back, sometimes I have to cry 
Cause when you young, you don't see how life can pass you by 
You don't even really care if you gon' starve or not 
This go back to ninety-three when I got the job at Hot 
I used to answer the phones for Flex, do overnight spurts 
Back then, I was like, "Hey who knows? It might work" 
I wasn't satisfied, but it would just begin 
Cause in ninety-five, I was every day, six to ten 
I put in a lot of work so I could bring in my listeners 
I secured a fanbase, although some of them dissed us 
I was new at my thang, but I was doin my thang 
And I would never let nobody try to ruin my thang 
But of course, there were people couldn't stand where I was 
Cause although know I'm in, I wasn't made what I was 
Through the heat, kept it movin, throw the haters a smile 
What would they do if they knew her heart was fragile? 

[Chorus] 

[The Product G&B] 
Angela.. (uh-huh) Angela.. (hahahah) 
Angela.. (wooh!) Angela.. (uhh, uhh) 

[Angie Martinez] 
Overall, it's a rough business, it could stop even you 
There's people that's gonna say things that's not even true 
Like the one about me not bein down for my women 
And I hated the lesbian rumors that went around for a minute 
How bout the one that goes, 'Yeah, she goes with him. 
He bought her the car, the ice, the clothes and rims.' 
And I'm sure you all heard she caught one dead in the face 
It'd been different if she said what she said to my face 
As for men, who knows where my story will start 
I went through a relationship that nearly tore me apart 
So I'm chillin for now, it's all about me for the moment 
cause there's things that I wouldn't allow 
But I'ma be aight though, keep comin with tight flow 
Try to stay on the low while I'm watchin your hype grow 
Playin the role like nobody can cramp your style 
But I know, like you know, that you're fragile 

[Chorus]
