Yo yo Angie, come downstairs, the pub is open Hurry up ma, put your socks, put your slippers on C'mon ma, hurry I started in Brooklyn, comin' up in the game Everybody has a story, mine wasn't the same Angela, delinquent, I thought I was grown I went through a lot of things way before I was known See my mom, she never knew I would make it all start She was through with the bad grades, late nights in the park 'Causin' my mom pain, my life was in the dirt I played hooky all day while she was hard at work Sorry ma, know it was hard and my pops was a jerk She packed her shit and got us out of there before it got worse Moved the fam to Miami in hopes of changin' my ways A big portion of my mind still remained in a daze It wasn't 'til we came back, my life matured Success would be the only thing that I was fightin' for I was determined to get there and keep it hot Since that day my only goal was to reach the top To every little girl on every block That's comin' of age, tryin' to reach the top I said, no matter who you are, you can reach the stars But never forget, how fragile you are, 'cause a girl is fragile It's crazy when I think back, sometimes I have to cry 'Cause when you young, you don't see how life can pass you by You don't even really care if you gonna starve or not This go back to ninety three when I got the job at hot I used to answer the phones for Flex, do overnight spurts Back then I was like, "Hey who knows? It might work" I wasn't satisfied but it would just begin 'Cause in ninety five, I was every day six to ten I put in a lot of work so I could bring in my listeners I secured a fan base, although some of them dissed us I was new at my thang, but I was doin' my thang And I would never let nobody try to ruin my thang But of course, there were people couldn't stand where I was 'Cause although I'm a woman, I was a man where I was Through the heat kept it movin', throw the haters a smile What would they do if they knew my heart was fragile? To every little girl on every block That's comin' of age, tryin' to reach the top I said, no matter who you are, you can reach the stars But never forget, how fragile you are, 'cause a girl is fragile Angela, Angela, Angela, Angela Overall it's a rough business, it could stop even you There's people that's gonna say things that's not even true Like the one about me not bein' down for my women And I hated the lesbian rumors that went around for a minute How about the one that goes, "Yeah, she goes with him He bought her the car, the ice, the clothes and rims" And I'm sure you all heard she caught one dead in the face And it'd been different if she said what she said to my face As for men who knows where my story will start I went through a relationship that nearly tore me apart So I'm chillin' for now, it's all about me for the moment 'Cause there's things that I wouldn't allow But I'ma be aight though, keep comin' with tight flow Try to stay on the low while I'm watchin' your hype grow Playin' the role like nobody can cramp your style But I know, like you know, that you're fragile To every little girl, on every block That's comin' of age tryin' to reach the top I said, no matter who you are, you can reach the stars But never forget, how fragile you are, 'cause a girl is fragile Angela, Angela, Angela, Angela Angela, Angela, Angela, Angela |
