Makeba Lyrics - All Balls Don't Bounce - Aceyalone

this is not a love ballad but it is a slow song 

(?) tell you 'bout this girl i know well this girl i used to know 

her name's 

makeba 

makeba 

sweet makeba 

makeba 

makeba 

yo how you doin' baby it's been a long time 

haven't seen you in a couple of years and the last i heard you lost your mind 

well how you been who you been with how's it been goin' 

still into hip hop are you still flowin' 

oh yeah that's cool 

we should kick back maybe have a session 

i remember you tellin' me you had to get away couldn't stay another day 

in the life of L.A. in the city 

that's peace 

yo where you been China Africa Greece 

least you coulda dropped me a letter or a phone call 

let me know you was all right 

your friends and your family and they kept tellin' me 

makeba disappeared in the night 

now i know that you had big dreams makeba 

but i had big dreams too 

and all this time you were searchin' makeba 

did any your dreams come true 

i remember i used to be down for you and you was down for me 

i had your back and you had my back makeba 

i wanted you to be my g 

makeba 

yo you know i got another girl after that right 

she kinda looked like you too a little bit 

sweet makeba 

yo why don't you just come to the crib you know 

we could listen to some music talk about things 

ooh i see you're not a young girl anymore and you're all grown up 

and you been around the world 

want to see what life's gonna offer you it's your young world and it's all for 

you 

you probably got a man in every country that wants you 

like i wanted you but you didn't want that 

remember how we used to make love makeba 

'member how you loved it when i hit it from the back 

makeba 

i had love for you 

i had wanted you 

i had needed you 

i remember comin' to your house seven in the morning 

ready for school but we didn't even go 

it was right back to my house where we kissed liked kids 

and we jumped in the bed and you know 

i loved makin' love to my makeba 

she was like my queen of Sheba 

i remember how we used to smoke chiba 

oh you don't smoke no more well that's cool 

well everybody gotta stop sometime 

i remember one time when you hid my stash and saved my ass from the one time 

i remember some fools tried to jump me and you jumped up before anybody did 

we used to say if and when we get married we'll have kid after kid after kid 

after kid 

after kid after kid after kid after kid after kid 

damn that's a lot of kids 

makeba 

sweet makeba 

i had love for you 

i had wanted you 

i had needed you 

how i loved makin' love to my makeba 

well remember how the whole crew used to hang tough 

well everybody's doin' they thang and stuff 

and everybody's still actin' like they know 

and a few more people ain't w/us no mo' 

oh me i'm just chillin' 

makin' my music livin' and buildin' 

tryin' to make a million out this little ol' dime and this nickel 

and lickin' lickle shots for the prophets we forgot 

but other than that i'm glad you back on deck 

i expect to see you in the near future 

if you want to just sit and chat talk about the good old days 

good old times what was in style what's goin' on now 

cause it has been a while 

makeba 

honey girlfriend 

left in a whirlwind put a brother in a tailspin 

just twirlin' 

had a few laughs and kicks 

but me and my clique don't be trippin' no tricks 

i still got a piece of me to give you 

you still got a piece of you to give me 

you listenin' but you don't hear me 

we can pick up right where we left at but 

i gotta be me and you gotta accept that 

i just want to be homies 

cause i ain't got love like Monie 

cause soon as you got close you got ghost 

and you tried to leave Acey 'lone-why 

so hook up w/me if you can cool 

but you know i know what you get loose to 

and if you play your cards right get your shit tight 

then we might be down like we used to 

makeba
