[Verse 2: Tena Jones]
Yo I know a girl named Ro named Rosa Lee / always spendin' rent money on clothes and weed / always wanna borrow never buy groceries / always got a big run in her hosieries / one time she said ''T, I'm finna jump in the shower, so can you watch lil' Ray Ray for an hour?'' / I said yeah that ain't long he can just play / didn't see the Negro 'til the next day / when I saw her/ restrained myself / said I should've known better so I blame myself / cause the same thang happened round Christmas y'all / caught her in my room makin' long distance calls / you can walk, start running, can fly, get ill crawlin' / search from L.A. up until you hit Harlem / you gon' find somebody gon' get yo stress boilin' / Black, White, Asian, or Brown we just call 'em Ro's

[Chorus]
