You don't need to debate Honey, save yourself for Chi and I'll be worth that wait Two or three years, don't be pressured by your peers Surrender and you'd better be prepared to shed tears Remember mom and the things you learned about 'Cause I don't need a girl who's fourteen and burnt out Take my advice, think twice In order to be with Chi-Ali you have to pay the price Of being older, mature, a woman I'll endure And if you try and diss me, I'll play you for sure In four or five years or more But for now, remember, that the [Chorus: KRS-One Sample] Girls look so good, but their brain is not ready I don't know I'd rather talk to a woman 'cause her mind is so steady So here we go Girls look so good, but their brain is not ready I don't know I'd rather talk to a woman 'cause her mind is so steady So here we go [Verse 2: Chi-Ali] Walking down the street and I saw this honey She was dipped, the opposite of bummy I stepped to her, I said "Yo, you look swell Give me your number, you have a man, I won't tell It really don't matter 'cause to me it means nothing Next time I'm feeling rough, I'll just snuff him Anyway, how old are you, G?" "Thirteen", I'm outie The girl said, "Hold up, who you think you are?" I said, "I'm Chi-Ali, a superstar" She said, "I may be young but don't be misled With this dope body you'll choose me instead" I said, "Don't get me wrong, your body may be ready But come back in three years when your mind is more steady I'm not trying to diss you, I'm just trying to blow up But do me a favor, hon, and grow up, 'cause the" [Chorus: KRS-One Sample] Girls look so good, but their brain is not ready I don't know I'd rather talk to a woman 'cause her mind is so steady So here we go Girls look so good, but their brain is not ready I don't know I'd rather talk to a woman 'cause her mind is so steady So here we go [Verse 3: Chi-Ali] Downtown the Village, I see this fly cutie Crazy thick, freshly dipped, with a fat doobie I didn't waste time to kick my game I stepped to her, I showed no shame I said, "How you doing? My name's Chi-Ali" She said, "Yeah, you're the one from TV" I said, "Yeah forget that, give me your name and number" She said, "Chill, maybe if I was younger" I said, "How old are you?" She said, "Seventeen" I said, "So what? I could get in between" She asked my age, I said, "Is that what you wonder? Don't sweat that G, 'cause age is just a number It's all where your head is at, and I'm mature" Do I have money?
