Shakespeare’s Classic
(J-J-J-J-JR)
First day of summer, Rodney sittin' in his driveway
He burnin' za pack, listenin' to Rod Wave
Cars flyin' up his block like a cop chase
Rodney gettin' money, but he don't do it the hot way
Mya comin' 'round the corner lookin' crazy
Air 1s dirty, shirt, shoes, Old Navy
Hair nappy, fucked Rodney up, he had to take three
Her pops used to be her hope 'til they caged him
Mya and Rodney been good friends for a minute
Now her support gone, so she been real distant
Crib look like a bando, it used to be nice home
At nighttime, ain't no more seein' the lights on
Rodney like, "Damn Mya, what you got goin' on?"
Mya playin' crazy like, "Move, I'm goin' home"
Rodney pressin', he know somethin' honestly goin' wrong
But she like, "Let me thug it out, I'm tryna be strong"
Been tryna ignore it, but that shit ain't really workin'
Mya been down bad for some months, it got him hurtin'
He told her, "If you see me doin' bad, it'll melt you
No more doin' shit on your own, let me help you"
She agreed to it, we gon' breathe through it
When you level up, I'ma show you how to breeze through it
Your dreams right ahead, you just gotta reach to it
He did it for her and showed her how she gotta do it
So time passed, he done got her cleaned up
Pocket full of money, Mya tryna live her dreams up
She look at Rodney, tears fallin' when she peeped up
She like, "If we tell our story, they wouldn't believe us
We on the cruise seein' shit we never seent"
Rodney agreed, he wipin' tears off her cheek
Like, "Mya, I know you love me," gave her a lil' wink
She like, "Yeah, but it's a lil' more than you think"
Ooh (Ayy, that's how you feel for real?), say what? Say what? Say what?
You know that I love you, baby (Damn, hahaha)
Girl, you know what's up
And you know what I need (How long you been feelin' like that?)
Ooh, say what? Say what? Say what? (That's crazy though, you should've told me)
You know that I like you, baby (You should've been told me, haha)
Girl, you know what's up (I'm fuckin' with you though)
Ayy, the feeling's mutual, you hear me?
Shot her to the hood, took her to the crib
She got him feelin' lightheaded like he off a cig
Pretty long hair, she ain't have to wear a wig
Took her clothes off and told him it's all his
She like, "I always knew it'd be perfect
I know it sound crazy, but I'm really a virgin"
He lookin' in her eyes and he knowin' she ain't perpin'
Slow motion, his turf, he gon' surf then
Next day, he take her to dinner in a Rolls
The waiter take down orders and brought a rose to her
Yeah, she think shit sweet, until he got down one knee, up a ring, and proposed to her
She got excited, then paused
Then fainted face first, full fall
She shakin' hard, eyes in the back of her head
Rodney shocked, but he picked up her body and fled
He hit the hospital, he need answers, he pacin'
His mind wanderin' off, he can't take it
Waited in the lobby all night, they ain't say shit
Playin' cool, but he wanna haul off and break shit
Doctor came out like, "Thank you for being patient
Mya heart bad, but we gon' try to save it
Mya need surgery, but when we take her in, it's gon' be a ninety percent chance she ain't gon' make it"
He go and visit
If it's death she gotta follow, he goin' with it
Seen Rodney walk in the room, she was uplifted
Rodney put that ring on her finger and he kissed it
Then he told her, "Wherever you go, I'm goin' with you
Baby, if we gotta separate, I'ma miss you
But it won't be long until I'm finally with you"
Rodney sick, tears fallin', no tissue
Mya wipe his face off like, "Boy, please
Can't nothin' take me, I'm a motherfuckin' G
Your love is my strap, so I'll never be weak
It's guaranteed, we gon' be out of here in a week"
The next day, Rodney temperature on the rise
He prayin' that Mya come out of surgery alive
Pain in his heart, you can see it in his eyes
The nurse come out like, "Sorry, sir, Mya died"
Ooh
Ooh, ooh
Rodney fell asleep that night and had a dream
He seen Mya up under a waterfall stream
He walked up real slow, he ain't wanna cause a scene
He said, "In one go, we gon' fall as a team
I told you, wherever you go, I'ma come get you
We had a slight separation, baby, I missed you
But that don't even matter now that I'm finally with you
Traveled beyond life just so I could come and kiss you"
Within the dream, got Mya right there in his reach
Let love tell it, he ain't gotta come up with a speech
You can do anything, you just gotta believe
Sufferin' heartbreak, Rodney died in his sleep
Ooh
Ooh, ooh
