lyrics

"Why you 'fraid to cuss?"
That's what Jameel asked me
and I didn't know why...

Why he want me to cuss?
I didn't know why, I just wanted to play.

That's when it start to leave me
(leave me)
Innocence don't leave me
(leave me)
That's when it start to leave me

She want me to touch her
That's what the girl asked me
and I think I knew why...

Why she want me to touch
Oh now I know why
Yea, she want me to play

That's when it start to leave me
(leave me)
Innocence don't leave me
(leave me)
That's when it start to leave me

Scooter passed me the dutch
That's what my mans passed me
we was finna get high

I felt like a star
when it came round passed me
laughin at video games

That's when it start to leave me
(leave me)
Innocence you left me
I feel I'm bout to leave here
Damn I want some cheese curls
Why am I so hungry?
Why am I still laughing?
Can I get off this ride now?
Maybe I'll just sleep here
I'm already sleepin...

I'm already sleepin...

I'm already sleepin...

I'm already sleepin............
