bigted Posted May 6, 2005 Report Share Posted May 6, 2005 Well I went digging through some of the older songs I wrote and came across this one, which is my favorite from back then, check it out: “Intellectual Girl” Written By Big Ted Verse One: Yo, sometimes life is crazy That's when I feel sad times dazin' me You can't tell but look even I get depressed 'Cause sometimes all I see is stress This world is nothing but a mess My rhymes come straight from my heart That's what makes all haters fall apart Good people in the world die everyday But the haters keep rolling around the way See they'll have to answer to God someday I don't worry 'cause they'll really never have their day And yo it's sad to see how some women get abused Some brothers have a disrespectful views However, some chicks can be hating too They'll just break your heart and stomp on you I desperately want a lady with a strong point of view With a strong mind that has a lot of ingredients like a pot of beef stew Chorus: Yo, I need an intellectual girl That doesn't just want me to buy her rubbies and pearls And that will love me for who I am She can't treat me like another man 'Cause I don't just want to have sex This girl has to be someone I can talk with and connect Yo, I need an intellectual girl 'Cause a G needs love in this world Verse Two: Understand that I don't need a whore 'Cause I rather have someone worth much more That can make my day when I'm sad and sore Yo, see I need a girl that will never keep me bored And she'll be there for Big Ted when it rains and pours That won't ever be afraid to knock on my door I don't want to have to fuss and fight I want to love her with all my might Hurt, pain, and rejection would be my fright So that's why this girl needs to show me “The Light” Like I'm Common and then I'll make sure our future is bright I would never let her out of my sight When I see her, I 'll just want to hug and kiss her 'Cause I won't ever want to shove and piss her Like Guy I'll give this shorty “A Piece Of My Love” There will be no girl that I would place above As long as she's sweet as a dove Or maybe sweet as a peach This love could get “Juicy” like that track from Biggie I want to walk with her at the beach And I want to hear all the wisdom that she could teach [Repeat Chorus] Verse Three: See I need a lover That will treat me like no other This intellectual girl doesn't have to be the best in her class And she doesn't have to tell me about her past I will treat her precious like glass And I won't ever let her pass Me especially when I need a lady with a strong mind That will help me get through the hip-hop grind Big Ted just wants to have a good time Yo getting the phat cars and cribs off of success won't quite fit 'Cause all I rather have is shorty I could chill with I don't worry about just money I want have a day that's sunny Every night I pray to the lord for a intellectual girl Like Mary J. that could “Share My World” And help all my life and dreams unfurl That'll be worth much more than materials I want a lady that'll keep it real Even through my life ordeals The love that we'll share, nobody could steal That's every night I dream I'll meet a lady that'll make my life gleam 'Cause I realise love and affection Must be there when I get older to give my heart and soul ressurection See I'm trying to make rhymes deep for eternity When I find this dream girl my life will be complete And Big Ted'll never go in defeat [Repeat Chorus] Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

mfuqua23 Posted May 7, 2005 Report Share Posted May 7, 2005 That was great ted. I really liked it. It 'd be a nice one to listen to. It's cool that u made references to songs too. "I desperately want a lady with a strong point of view With a strong mind that has a lot of ingredients like a pot of beef stew" - that was a nice thought out of lines "And I want to hear all the wisdom that she could teach" - true definition of an Intellectual Girl. Dang ted, U got so many rhymes that would be loved by the masses if they heard em. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bigted Posted May 7, 2005 Author Report Share Posted May 7, 2005 Thanks y'all I think that the best thing about writing songs is looking back and think about how I felt when I made it, I definately think a lot peeps could relate to this especially ones in school 'cause the smarter girls get overlooked a lot by those who are stuck up but get a lot of guys from lookin' good, but I appreciate the intellectual girls more, sometimes I think about if I was back in high school still I'd probably try to get to know some of them better than I did, a lot of them were shy and didn't talk much, I wish I could of said more to them 'cause girls like them ain't easy to find, I'm still trying to find one like I described, it's more than just a song to me. I think the songs are reflection of life and I'm trying to live and learn more. And about the songs I mentioned as a reference, I was listening to "The Light" on Common's "Like Water For Chocalate" the other day and I was thinkin' about this "Intellectual Girl" song I wrote right around that time after I heard that song, music can touch you, and I want someone to say the same thing one day when they hear my songs, I wanna express myself the right way. Thanks for the feedback! :thumb: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

bigted Posted May 8, 2005 Author Report Share Posted May 8, 2005 This was dope! What about gettin a mic? :) Thanks for the feedback, I don't wanna record right now, I'm still just finding myself as an artist and I ain't rushing into it yet, when my finances are right I'd like to start my own independent label, I don't wanna do what everyone else does, I wanna take charge when I decide to record, but I ain't trying to take FP's place or anything I'm just trying to do my thing and earn my name with hard work.
