I remember playing dominoes in basement
Back when I didn’t even tie my shoe laces
Mama always said it’s easy to show yo ass
So I kept my pants up right over the waist
Hopped up outta bed, didn’t wanna be late
Tied a durag on my a head, that’s 360 waves
Drove a old Buick that my Grandaddy gave
Thought I was the man, it was nothin’ you could say
Heavy on my style was my dog Dre
More like a brother, more than a teammate
After practice yo we hit the 2K
In the middle game, my phone rang
It was Cici from back in the day
She was like what you doing today
Tryna see if you free
You can take me cross the border to get my tongue ring
I’m tryna front like I don't got school tomorrow
I said we can skip, we can cruise belle
I was already ready
Out the door before she said it
Nothing needed to be vetted
She was on my mind heavy
Chorus
Yo she made me feel different,
Yo that day I felt different,
She made me feel different
She made me feel different
I ain’t tell nobody bout it, it was like our little secret
She opened up the door and she had my mind tweakin’
Thinking in my head what's about happen later
Her momma was Domican, she had a lot of flavor
On the way Windsor, we was on that 50 Cent
P.I.M.P so we drove over the bridge
Went straight to the parlor, yo everything was cool
Before she get some metal, she wanted to get food
We hit the burger joint, I gotta BLT
I ate it fast, I really want some TLC
I played it smooth, in about she ready to move
Thought I was slick, it happened so quick
She stuck out her tongue out, gave it a little prick
I'm ready fasho, I hope she ready for this
Sun beamin’ on the way home
I’m scheming how we bout to get to freakin
That’s when engine light started blinking
I keep driving, I ignore it the timing
I’m what now she like uhh the car smoking slow down
Pull over on the side I was hurt
Threw some water on my engine made it worse
Ima let it cool off just chill for a minute
She on the phone with somebody like it ain’t my business
That’s when I hear her say
Um hello Dre…
That day I felt different
I felt different
That made me feel different
