The Jux

His name is Johnathan, middle-class black kid in college and

Wonderin' why the white girls be always callin' him

Mama said, "Keep ya head level"

Don't sleep with them devils 'cause one day they gonna bring you trouble

Months later, havin' biz with Kate, Jake and Tina

After that, Tina spread eagle on the speaker

She knockin' down his laptop, the phone off the receiver

She havin' growin' pains like my man, Ben Seaver

Screamin' how baby daddy Jake could take her higher

Fascinated with hip-hop and nice tires

Save the Last Dance and oh, oh, Jungle Fever

Snoop Doggy Dogg, 50 Cent and Derek Jeter

Bob Marley princess smoke weed after Daddy calls in, call gone

Afterwards the beat is back strong

Went off for a few months behind closed doors

When she stopped bleedin' one month, outta control

Went to the clinic, three hundred dollars she spendin'

Daddy said no **** babies on his insurance

Even told Tina to say she was a victim

Call up the police so the law can come get him

Level-headed white girl, you had to give her that

She didn't give John the cuffs and bad rap

Stopped seein' him, though, 'cause her parents made it so

"**** ain't nothing but trouble" her Mama let her know

Back to Johnathan, middle-class black kid in college and

He wonderin' why he can't sleep, his heart bother him

Thinkin' 'bout this chick Tina who used to love to see him

But now she won't return his calls either

At first it was a novel affair but then it turned to care

They even talked about takin' it there

Under wraps, yes, then it turned to love because

Only meetin' after dark made it stronger than drugs

Too wrapped up in what people just might say

'Cause he a regular ****, she ain't from around the way

Actually just the opposite, her daddy had offices

High-level partisan who majored in politics

Only gave her dollars when she really needed fatherin'

The only man that gave a damn was this dude Johnathan

Didn't wanna have the abortion but her father insisted

He screamed that it would ruin her image

Even pulled some favors so it was off-record

Threw some money at her, told her it was for better

But was it for the better? Now, now, that was the question

She used her discretion, realized she need a blessing

Picked up her phone and dialed his number slow

Prayin' that John maybe be at home

Oh, oh, oh
