Church Girl

I dedicate this to the church girl, the girl that’s been very special to me throughout my life. In my life experience, I found that many of you, the ladies of the church, are compromising. Listen…

Verse 1:
Yo, what’s up miss? I see you going to church
Dressed pressed to impress ‘cause you knowing it works
Got your hair and your nails done for Sunday school
That’s where the decent males come, yeah right
OK you at the church and you glance to your right
This man’s teeth is messed up so you thinkin’ he’s trife
Can’t think about the pastor ‘cause he got a wife
Might as well forget the deacon, he been married twice
Finally you see a guy in a suit and a tie
He’s sort of like O’hene, this dude is cute and he’s fly
So you give him the eye then you get your reply
Pass him your number during offering as he walks by
You’re saying to yourself how this is a fine brother
And so throughout the sermon y’all be staring at each other
Matter fact all you heard was a quote from Revelation -
“He got feet like brass” - Woo! That’s confirmation
You got no time for patience
Matter fact you got no time for waiting
You thinking of your conversation
With this man from the congregation
It’s sad you was blind to Satan, so

Refrain:
I dedicate this to the church girl
The upright type, Bible in they purse girl
Keep God first, girl
Don’t let no man take you out of His will
If he’s not for you, it’s time to be real

I dedicate this to the church girl
The upright type, Bible in they purse girl
Keep God first, girl
Don’t let no man take you out of His will
If he’s not for you, it’s time to be real

Verse 2:
Your conversations on the phone they were cool at first
All you used to talk about was your life and the church
And even though you had work you still stayed up late
Brought the Bible out from time to time for your debate
Until the third date when he gave you the test
You know that man test, when we start asking of sex
‘Have you done it and if so, do you have regrets?
Did you want it, or did you just do it from stress?’
Now you kinda hesitate only ‘cause you surprised
But before you answer, he says, "I apologize
That wasn’t wise" and then he looks in your eyes
And says, "I’m sorry" but sis, that’s nothing but lies
I’ll tell you why, because this brother ask you again
He knows you not getting offended when he asks you of sin
But the next date over to his home you’re invited
He’s rented out your favorite movie, now you’re all excited
The movie ends, and it's about ten at night
"It’s below ten tonight," says, "Why don’t you spend the night?
I’ll be a gentleman, you can sleep in my bed"
No doubt but he never said he’d sleep on the couch
Now you layin’ in the bed with this fine brother
And as the story goes one thing led to another
Fast forward a few weeks, you’re throwing up badly
Saying to yourself, "Man, I wish he never had me"
But it’s too late now, you’re about to push the carriage
And you know how church people do, I guess it’s time for marriage
And you all embarrassed so you start making plans with this man
But it’s not God’s plan

Refrain:
I dedicate this to the church girl
The upright type, Bible in they purse girl
Keep God first, girl
Don’t let no man take you out of His will
If he’s not for you, it’s time to be real

I dedicate this to the church girl
The upright type, Bible in they purse girl
Keep God first, girl
Don’t let no man take you out of His will
If he’s not for you, it’s time to be real

Verse 3:
Y’all had the dream wedding, now y’all live together
It’s cool how you moved, got your own crib together
It hasn’t been a month and you start noticing his habits
He likes to pick his toes? Oh, that’s the average
Until you find a package under the table
In fact it’s not even labeled
Now normally you wouldn’t look in his stuff unless you asked him
But y’all married now and of course that’s then
Unwrapped in this package you find that it’s drugs
And you start buggin’, ’Oh no, this can’t be my husband’
That’s when he comes in and he’s fussin’ and he’s cussin’
And he’s angry ‘cause he thinks that you don’t trust him
You try to hug him, but he grabs ya then he smacks ya
And he kicks ya, hoping to cause a fracture
You call the pastor who asks ya
If you understand why your husband is your master
Now you livin’ in disaster, he beats you every month
He got girls calling the house and plus he smokes blunts
You in church, trying to front like it’s ok
I guess you wearing them sunglasses ‘cause it’s Sunday
Well one day you’ll understand you can get played from this
And if he keeps sleeping around you gon’ get AIDS from this
They say what God puts together let no man put asunder
But if he’s ‘bout to kill you, girl, I wonder

Refrain:

Don’t let no man take you out of His will
If he’s not for you, it’s time to be real
