Too Late

Brand Nubian

Intro/Chorus: Shelene

She had some shit with her, she was caught up in the glitter



"Brother come see me when you get five digits bigger"



Oh that's the way you tryin to doo-doo on a nigga



She likes the lavish, no time for a brother livin average



Play the knees for the cheese like a savage



Now she lost and turned out, rotten teeth in her mouth



cos she ran the wrong route



Shorty 'member me, now I'm seven digits bigger



Platinum artist status, mad cheese from Hilfiger



Now ya feelin me because you're smoked out and high



but too late baby, bye-bye




Chorus




Verse Two: Lord Jamar

The eldest member of my family so I packed the tool



It made a nigga feel manly when I smacked a fool



with it, could've schooled me on pussy before I hit it



Or took me to a park with a ball and said "Hit it"



But we was all left in the dark, accepting the parts



of you we was able to get, affectin my heart



Nowadays you expecting to s
