when I was young
and tryna take my mind to another dimension
id build with mareefah jones
shes had infinite wisdom

when im feelin kinda down in the dumps
low in my spirit
Mareefah jones is the friend that i call
to get me lifted

so when my mental gets to flippin
in ways i dont care to mention
i need mareefah jones
because she eases the tension

when my wisdom start bitching
and i can can no longer listen
im hittin mareefah jones
cuz she is my mistress


Well in this era there never were bitches named mary jane
but this jont Mareefah Jones, i met her back in 7th grade
she was a tacky, trifelin ho, gettin known for gangbangs but was smelly
wit ratchety weave, in a couple strains,
gotta bad name running with guns caine and other thangs
but she explained it was how she was raised
legalized discrimination in america
was the stigmatizer, that stigmatized her
but truthfully had no true desire
to keep on livin illegal she planned to soon retire
from the wrong side of the law cuz of flawed conjecture
that oppressed her
much like the black experience, how could i reject her
Instead I chose to break down the complexities of her
essence what was once an ugly stench became the sweetest nectar
to the senses telling me that her supple flesh
had connected with me on a higher level
if you hip to it
me and mareefa in the sheets trust it was luv, soon as i hit it


Well ove time mareefah became more then a friend of mine
we would get together whenevr it seemed i could find
an extra ten permitted my tank was in line
she would drop dime, stories keepin my company bumpin 295
pullin my ride up thru pioneer drive 8582
to collab with jonesy an prominece on a few
tracks, knock a couple of brews back
coppa lesson from tru back
to my neck of the woods with black and mild in a two pack
honey dutch for my boo thats
snuggled up to the sack,
and I cant wait to get her home and break her back
out, until she max out
hazy eyes, burn with desire
the signiture, that she just put it on you the queen of fire
no love was higher
and then she hit me in a conversation
be patient baby my elevation bout to qwake the nation
I remember the senation of elation back then but my maturation
has shown me that there was no preparation for what was waitin


I took hiatus, the weeks before college matriculation
began in atlanta back in the fall of 2008
down at "Mission College" my aim as a rapper/scholar
would claim, my objective until the stress brought mareefah back in the frame
but, now she was exotic, droppin big knowledge her body not as sick
as back when we was kids, but what womans is
smellin hella mo betta, and now instead of the seedy weave with the red
it in she b dreadin in new styles n colors,
still be kickin it wit the wild brothers
but now she also high maitenence,
double or nothin, up in the tank, to see half the places
i dont know if its her pretty new face
or the legislation of civil rights in her case
has gotter bugie actin fake its
really a heart breakin
adaptation of how my true love was taken
and then became somethin we both used hate
a staple of our resistance that flaked
waitin in line for corporate
