Well, it was one of those days --

not much to do

I was chillin downtown, with my old

school crew

I went into a store -- to buy a

slice of pizza

And bumped into a girl, her name was

mona -- what?

Mona lisa (what? ) *singing* mona

lisa, so men made you..

Youknowhati'msayin? so I said,

"excuse me, dear

My gosh, you look nice!
Put away your money
I'll buy that slice!"

She said, "thanks - I'd rather a

slice of you

I'm just kidding, but that's awfully

nice of you"

The compliment showed she had a mind

in her

And when I smiled (ping!) I almost

blinded her

She said, "great scott! are you a

thief?

Seems like you have a mouth full of

gold teeth"

Ha-ha, hah! had to find that funny
So I said, "no child, I work hard


for the money
And calling me a thief? please!


don't even try it (right!)
Sit down eat your slice of pizza,


and be quiet"
She almost got cut short -- you


know, scissors
She tried to disrespect who? ! the


grand wizard
Me! "well what's your name, son? "
"mc ricky d," but not to be so harsh


I said to mona li-hee
"i'm.. sorry and I know that's low


class (uhh, yeah)
Please sit, and tell me a little


about your past"
She said, "well I got courage, and I


don't like porridge (uh-huh)
I've never been to college, but I've


got crazy knowledge (uh-huh)
Over eighteen and my eyes are green


(uh-huh)
I wear more gold than that man on


a-team (uh-huh, uh-huh)
Trim, slim, (yeah) and I'm also

light skinned

Best believe mona's a virgin"
A virgin? ! honey needed a slap
She tried to tell me she's a virgin

-- with her yea wide gap

I said, "it don't matter, see, I'm

not picky (word)
Let me spell my name out for you,


it's ricky:
R -- ravishing
I -- impress
C -- courageous; so careless
K -- for the kangols which I've got

That I wear everyday and
Y -- why not?
To fight's not right that I recite

and i'm..
Quite polite like walter cronkite"

Well, just about then, trevor my

friend came in
He said, "hey rick, don't you know

playin with these snakes is a sin?


!? "
He grabbed me by my shirt and pulled

me right out the store
He said, "i don't want to see you

playin with these lowlifes no more!

Now come along, we have a party to

attend
With some real mature women and some

more of her friends"
He hailed down a cab and he waited


for a minute
And as the cab came, he thrusted me

in it!
And as we were leavin and drivin


along
I could hear a melody as mona sang a

song

"if you see me walking down the


street
And I start to cry.. each time we

meet..
Walk on by.. walk on by..
Foolish pride
That's all that I have left, so, let

me hide
The pain and the hurt that you gave

me
When you said goodbye.. walk on by
