The Real Shit

Down in Kingston town

Where I was born and grown

They used to say I was a ragamuffin girl

They used to laugh at me, like I was such a freak

Said I'd never 'mount to much

Now all their lies don't seem so cruel

'Cause in your eyes, I'm beautiful

This is the real shit

I never feel like this before

You are my big hit

I finally found the one I've been waiting for

I search no more...

Him and all his friends, they took my innocence

Pinned me down against a cold Jamaican floor

I hung me head so low, I couldn't let it go

(I) thought that nobody would want me no more

Nobody would love me

Now when we lay, I feel u deep in my soul

I'm not afraid anymore

This is the real shit

I never feel like this before

You are my big hit

I finally found the one I've been waiting for

I search no more...

When I was feelin' low, when I was giving up

U never let me go, u always picked me up

When I was down and out, u didn't kick me out, you said

Take my hand, baby I understand

U stuck around, u never, never let me down, no way

Now all their lies don't seem so cruel anymore

I not afraid not anymore

This is the real shit

I never feel like this before

You are my big hit

I finally found the one I've been waiting for

I search no more...
