This is from the heart
This is from the heart right here
Everybody has a story to tell
Check this out though
I knew this Chinese dude in Junior High, part of my crew
Everybody knew this kid, he was the talk of the school
Intelligent and well spoken, respected by teachers
All the other students kept their eyes on his sneakers
What can I say? You can tell he's cool if you talk with him
During fire drills, girls would wanna walk with him
He could have any chick up in his view
But there was only one girl he wanted to call boo
See it's all true, found himself stressed in a dead end
The girl he was feelin' was obsessed with his best friend
His best friend's a player, that's the reason he's pissed
Plus he treat her like she don't even exist
He ain't tryin' to hate on his man, but there was no helpin' it
Wrote the girl a letter, told her how he felt in it
She was shocked at first for him revealing the truth
Until she realized that she was feelin' him too
Oh, I've been (I've been) thinkin' of you
Oh, I've been (I've been) thinkin' of you
Oh, I've been (I've been) thinkin' of you
And you've been thinkin' of me, oh
Uh, yeah
So, you know as time goes by
Things get a little more serious
Just listen
It was strictly hip hop, now they bumpin' slow jams all day
Went from holdin' hands to makin' out in the hallway
Their relationship seemed like a dream come true
As time went by, their friendship grew
Starin' at the stars, trading secrets on the phone
When her parents were at work, she would sneak him in her home
He told her he was a virgin the day that they met
So on his birthday he got a gift he'll never forget
Females were jealous, but they still callin' him cute
First day of summer school, they rocked the matching Nautica suits
Happy in each other's arms, can it be?
They found true love livin' in a fantasy
Then reality attacks, his pops couldn't see past the fact
His son was Asian but his girlfriend was Black
Imagine havin' to choose between the one you love or your fam
That's like cuttin' off your right or left hand, damn
Oh, I've been (I've been) thinkin' of you
Oh, I've been (I've been) thinkin' of you
Oh, I've been (I've been) thinkin' of you
And you've been thinkin' of me, oh
Uh, yeah
I know this sounds like a true story
Could've happened to any one of us
It's crazy though, right?
Check it
Now if this sounds like a true story, that's probably 'cause it is
And I know for a fact 'cause I'm that Chinese kid
Lookin' back now, I know it's more than just a crush
I'm sayin' the whole experience taught me so much
Love can overcome anything that gets in its way
That's the reason I still think of shorty to this day
We talk now and then, she's doin' her thing
We both all grown up, I think she's rockin' a ring
I know she's proud of me and all the things I've accomplished
She was there when I was nobody, that's being honest
Ain't no shame, I'll admit it, she was there when I cried
So in return, I wipe the tears from her eyes
As far as my pops, he's a little more open minded
If his son is happy, he's a hundred percent behind it
Now this is a song I know I had to do
'Cause all the stuff I went through might've happened to you
Oh, I've been (I've been) thinkin' of you
Oh, I've been (I've been) thinkin' of you
Oh, I've been (I've been) thinkin' of you
And you've been thinkin' of me, oh
Uh, yeah
Everybody remembers their first love
You only get one, so you gotta remember
Yeah, uh
Just wanted you to know
Jinn's still thinkin' about you
I know you been thinkin' about me too
Yeah, uh
