Yo, 

I knew this girl named alana with mad persona 

She delt with reality never fed it to the drama 

I met her through my nigga named jermaine palmer 

Who knew her through his peoples by the baltimore harbor 

Alana was a marylan' thurough and attractive 

Shorty that's relaxed with me and kickin back 

Wif a phat flick to cool out 

Was stressed cause the game'll make you wanna pull a tool out 

And go the old school route 

But all-a that cease - when that piece checkin the jewel out 

A bruver was charged - light a spliff and listen to the dabarge 

Let the shorty hit me wif a massage to annoint 

Lubricatin my maridian points that was the summer easy to remember 

Alana was all up on - to read the gender how I used to back bender 

She even told her best friend blinda from virginia 

Who asked me if I had a cousin I could recomend-a 

But as time float on we grew more mature - and further apart 

When I began to do tours, we lost contact 

And slowly parted - reminissin of when it started 

It keep me feelin heavy hearted - a stolen moment periodic 

Addicted to her presence like a narcotic 

Though I wonder if she ever got it - the hypnotic 

That faded like a dream sequence that pursuaded 

Beyond being infatuated - spiritually intoxicated 

Comps are dated - I concentrated 

On how to get in touch with her 

Cuase the fact of the matter remain that I miss the hypnotic

I would begin to dial - 

Her number but knowin it's been awhile it's hard to link 

I figure what she probly think and soon start to drink 

Fightin the feelin I'm concealin apparently I first appealin 

Later revealin to be deeper - resistance increasingly weaker 

The essence of life is more than just mic's and puffin reefa 

This universe of black thought that I can teach ya 

I'm tryin to touch ya only if I can reach ya 

I hit this kid I sign up on his beepa 

And ask him if a had a chance to speak ta 

Jermaine palmer who fathers a preacha 

To make the story short me and my man soon ran 

Into each other von the humble at a show in san fran 

I said yo palma, when did you last see alana? 

He offer me a seat and attempts to make me calma 

When he began to break it down my mind start to wander 

Response beyond somber incredible crushed 

Kinda feelin on my shoulder - that of a boulder 

To find out that her life was over - it made the room feel colder 

I thought I could get wif her when she was a little older 

But she a victim of the wicked system that controlled-a it's all chaotic 

But if my life it's symbolic forever shadow on my mental I never forgot it 

Yo the psycotic, the hypnotic check it out the most melodic hypnotic
