(appears on the album Pre-Life Crisis)







Chorus:

Man...T-Boz tried to talk to me

You don't have to believe me

It may have been a big mistake

And if it was my heart will break

I'm serious...T-Boz tried to talk to me



So have you ever heard of a group called TLC

With hits like "Ain't 2 Proud 2 Beg" and "Baby-Baby-Baby"

New Years Day of 1992 I was chilling

With The Leaders Of The New

At the Fox Theater venue

Atlanta, Georgia where the girls don't ignore ya

Geronimo had two girls... and said this one's for ya

The two were close related... in fact sister kindred

And I was scheming on a way to get her into bed

1992 when I was rhyming for fun

Had the thickest new style...but no demo done

I wasn't feeling down about my past situation

I had only seen TLC on Video Vibrations

Yes this was just before they blew up

While I was gaming on the girl I had a chance to look up

TLC walked in with my man Yusef

Left Eye is the name because she played me to the left

The girl I was with was silly...

But I was trying to get on T-Boz any motherfucking way

But what was I to say...

Hey shit I was a nobody

And nobody had ever heard of Count Bass-D

Or TLC, but my despair turned into glee

When T-Boz pushed up and introduce herself to me

My heart went mushy...I know you don't believe me

But T-Boz of TLC tried to talk to me



Chorus



Chorus



Yeah I saw you on TV last week

Hello, T-Boz my name is Count Bass D

I was thinking last week while I was watching your video clip

That when I got rich I'd have to kiss your lips

That's how I wanted to step...but I had my doubts

About her finding out about my lack of clout

I guess she saw me with

The Leaders and assumed I had a record deal

But I was mesmerized with her sex appeal

Rumors ran free that she loved Jodeci

Who gives a fuck about K-Ci

He's just as skinny as me

Don't get me wrong...in singing songs nobody's better

But I get around like 2Pac and chain letters

But this time I slippped though...got played like a wimp though

The Pharcyde said it fly she kept passing me by

Not even Merrill Stubing could have played more friendly

Huh...T-Boz tried to talk to me yo



Chorus



Chorus



Last time y'all

Females only step to niggas once in a while

And you should react if she seems worthwhile

T-Boz was a goddess

I'm honest I wouldn't lie to ya

But I procrastinated like a paper overdue

I know you're saying he's just a crumb

He couldn't get none

But T-Boz was a female who was full of sincerity

I know it sounds hard to believe

And I could give a fuck if you believe me but

T-Boz tried to talk to me
