Loretta

This is a true story...
CHORUS
Loretta
Wrote a love letter to a stranger
Thought that he would change her life
Thought that she would be his wife
Loretta
Never ever meant him no danger
Her love for him sustained her
Thought thought that he would change her life
Miss Loretta, a young girl, I never really met her
A fun girl, a real go-getter, I heard a gold Jetta
A full with books & herb or so I'm told, hooked on my every word
Oh so bold, a love letter cleverly worded in a jacket pocket
Wrapped inside a platinum locket
In the shape of a heart with pictures of me
Had it inscribed, "No us, no him, then no me."
She fell in love with the Prince of Bel-Air
Fantasy was to see me & to be with me there
So she wrote a love letter to me
And then she signed it Loretta
Said, "I gotta go get him, Will is my soul mate.
We gotta be together
How could we not be together?
But wait if I send the letter
I mean how will I be sure if they give it to him
What if they don't give it to him
That would ruin everything
I gotta take it to him myself
CHORUS
She packed all that she owned into the back of her Jetta
Her backpack, her cellphone & a love letter
Most of her stuff was done up
With pictures of me on it
With a phrase "It's gonna be" on it
Her mother begging her please come home
And then Loretta resenting her
"Leave me alone Ma!
I won't leave my destiny unfulfilled
You're just jealous because Daddy ain't as sweet as my Will"
To the front gate at NBC
In June & July
Backstage at MTV
She would drive anyplace
That they'd mention I'd be
Told herself, "strive for love & God
Eventuallyhe would give me to her
And her to me
This was meant to be
14 months outside
Every event that I'd be at
She'd still keep missing me
And now she's getting high
With more frequency now
Rage rumbling inside
Got to be with me now
Then she heard I married Jada
She took her love letter out & wrote down,
"PS - I hate her."
CHORUS
Kodak Center, where the Oscars is at
She's sleep getting woke up by the cops in the back
By a dumpster
Didn't even greet 'em with fear
Grinning ear to ear
Said "My husband's meeting me here"
You know him
He's nominated for his flick 'Ali'
And it'll be hell to pay if you pick on me!"
"Don't put that stick on me!"
"Hell no I'm not leaving
Get your hands off me
Don't make those things click on me"
Kicking & screaming
"You intervening, this is fate. Mister.
What you mean that I ain't?
What you mean it seems like I ain't
Ooh, your like my Mom
And our love is gonna survive.
Ya'll hate.
God gon' take me to my destiny.
Ya'll only seeing one side of me
Will gon' see the rest of me
He gon' see the best of me.
'If I could only get him next to me
He gon' bring my blessings to me
I know it."
