"The Real Shit"
Down in Kingston town
Where I was born and grown
They used to say I was a ragamuffin girl
They used to laugh at me, like I was such a freak
Said I'd never 'mount to much
Now all their lies don't seem so cruel
'Cause in your eyes, I'm beautiful
[Chorus:]
This is the real shit
I never feel like this before
You are my big hit
I finally found the one I've been waiting for
I search no more...
Him and all his friends, they took my innocence
Pinned me down against a cold Jamaican floor
I hung me head so low, I couldn't let it go
(I) thought that nobody would want me no more
Nobody would love me
Now when we lay, I feel u deep in my soul
I'm not afraid anymore
[Chorus:]
This is the real shit
I never feel like this before
You are my big hit
I finally found the one I've been waiting for
I search no more...
When I was feelin' low, when I was giving up
U never let me go, u always picked me up
When I was down and out, u didn't kick me out, you said
Take my hand, baby I understand
U stuck around, u never, never let me down, no way
Now all their lies don't seem so cruel anymore
I not afraid not anymore
[Chorus:]
This is the real shit
I never feel like this before
You are my big hit
I finally found the one I've been waiting for
I search no more...
