[Big Pun]
  Yo yo Angie, come downstairs, the pub is open
  Hurry up ma! Put your socks, put your slippers on!
  C'mon ma hurry! (Alright then, I got it)
    [The Product G&B]
  Oooohhh Angie..
  Ooo-whoaaaa, yeahhh..
  Oooh yeah hooooo whoahhhh, ohhh-ye ohhhhh-yeah
    [Angie Martinez]
  Uh, yeah (ooh ooh ooh ooh)
  Uh (ooh ooh ooh ooh)
  Uh-uh-uh uh-ah uh-ah-uh-ah
  I started in Brooklyn, comin up in the game
  Everybody has a story mine wasn't the same
  Angela, delinquent, I thought I was grown
  I went through a lot things way before I was known
  See my moms, she never knew I would make it all start
  She was through with the bad grades, the late nights in the park
  Causin my mom pain, my life was in the dirt
  I played hooky all day while she was hard at work
  Sorry ma, know it was hard and my pops was a jerk
  She packed her shit and got us out of there before it got worse
  Moved the fam to Miami in hopes of changin my ways
  A big portion of my mind still remained in a daze
  It wasn't 'til we came back my life matured
  Success would be the only thing that I was fightin for
  I was determined to get there, and keep it hot
  Since that day my only goal was to reach the top
    [Chorus: The Product G&B]
  To every little girl, on every block
  That's comin of age tryin to reach the top
  I said no matter who you are, you can reach the stars
  But never forget, how fragile you are, cause a girl is fragile
    [Angela Martinez]
  It's crazy, when I think back, sometimes I have to cry
  Cause when you young, you don't see how life can pass you by
  You don't even really care if you gon' starve or not
  This go back to ninety-three when I got the job at Hot
  I used to answer the phones for Flex, do overnight spurts
  Back then, I was like, "Hey who knows? It might work"
  I wasn't satisfied, but it would just begin
  Cause in ninety-five, I was every day, six to ten
  I put in a lot of work so I could bring in my listeners
  I secured a fanbase, although some of them dissed us
  I was new at my thang, but I was doin my thang
  And I would never let nobody try to ruin my thang
  But of course, there were people couldn't stand where I was
  Cause although know I'm in, I wasn't made what I was
  Through the heat, kept it movin, throw the haters a smile
  What would they do if they knew her heart was fragile?
    [Chorus]
    [The Product G&B]
  Angela.. (uh-huh) Angela.. (hahahah)
  Angela.. (wooh!) Angela.. (uhh, uhh)
    [Angie Martinez]
  Overall, it's a rough business, it could stop even you
  There's people that's gonna say things that's not even true
  Like the one about me not bein down for my women
  And I hated the lesbian rumors that went around for a minute
  How bout the one that goes, 'Yeah, she goes with him.
  He bought her the car, the ice, the clothes and rims.'
  And I'm sure you all heard she caught one dead in the face
  It'd been different if she said what she said to my face
  As for men, who knows where my story will start
  I went through a relationship that nearly tore me apart
  So I'm chillin for now, it's all about me for the moment
  cause there's things that I wouldn't allow
  But I'ma be aight though, keep comin with tight flow
  Try to stay on the low while I'm watchin your hype grow
  Playin the role like nobody can cramp your style
  But I know, like you know, that you're fragile
    [Chorus]
