I met Diamond D at the Kanye show the other night, so why not post the legend’s 1992 single.

[Hook]
Sally got a one track mind
It doesn’t matter if it’s yours or mine
Cause if ya getting dough and you wanna get with her
Yeah (YOU CAN HIT HER!)

[Verse 1]
I knew a girl named Sally who’s tastes were exquisite
Saks Fifth Avenue, bad made or is it?
When she was a child, her parents had money
She was spoiled rotten, and how things has gotten
Worse, she’s a professional (uhh!)
She’ll start to switch if her palms begin to itch
I watched her grow into a neighborhood ho
Ran around town with every Tom, Dick, and Joe
Quite amusing, but little did she know
That word got around that Sally was down
Sweet 16 but she looked 21
If the price was right, she’ll be twice as nice
Dissed her friends for a man in a Benz
Then he cuts you off when he hits the skins
Now you got another one, he drives a Beamer
Wake up girl, don’t be a day dreamer
