The Sweetest Thing (feat. Lauryn Hill) - Mahogany Mix

Like a queen, a queen upon her throne

It was the sweet, sweetest thing I've known

Uh, uh, uh

The sweetest thing I've ever known (ha)

Was like a kiss on the collar bone (no doubt)

The soft caress of happiness

The way you walk, your style of dress

I wish I didn't get so weak

Ooo baby, just to hear you speak (L-Boogie!)

Makes me argue just to see

How much you're in love with me

Was the sweet, sweet, sweetest thing I've known

Oh, Mahogany, mahogany, oh, Mahogany L

It was the sweet, sweet, sweetest thing I've known

Oh, Mahogany, mahogany, oh, Mahogony L

I get mad when you walk away

So I tell you leave when I mean stay (stay)

Warm as the sun dipped in black

Fingertips on small of my back

More valuable than all I own (new hit!)

Like your precious, precious baby dark skin tone (L-Boogie!)

Was the sweet, sweet, sweetest thing I've known

Oh, Mahogany, mahogany, oh, Mahogany L

It was the sweet, sweet, sweetest thing I've known

Oh, Mahogany, mahogany, oh, Mahogony L

I met him on the subway in Brownsville, Medina

God like Apollo, I follow like Athena

Keener, cleaner, just a few misdemeanors

Hit me in the heart, part profession-al cleaners

Shorty dig, you wasn't from this side

We did the slide and let me whip your ride

L-Boogie had the flavor sized up a T

Vocal was exquisite, and still love the street

I shoulda seen her like when Ike met Tina

How you were shooken when I booked the arena

Jakes had you locked up, fakes had us knocked up

Snakes in the state could have anybody popped

But we stayed in the struggle, prayed in the trouble

While you on the street, I'm on tour, we make double

I held the heat fine and you held mics divine

With every cat singin' with you "one time!"

You was the media's dish

Locked on media at

Callin' me your lil' Brownsville Swedish Fish

More times than not, it got hot tryin' to date you

You know I never meant it when I told you that I hate you

And though durin' our turn, everyone tried to beat us

I keep you in my heart, you was always the sweetest

It was the sweet, sweet, sweetest thing I've known

Oh, Mahogony L

It was the sweet, sweetest thing I've known

Oh, Mahogony L

It was the sweet, sweet, sweetest thing I've known

Oh, Mahogony L

It was the sweet, sweetest thing I've known

Oh, Mahogony L

It was the sweet, sweet, sweet, sweet

Oh, Mahogony L

Sweet, sweet, sweetest thing I've known (oh, Mahogany, mahogany, oh, Mahogany L)

Oh, Mahogany, mahogany, oh, Mahogany L

Oh, Mahogany, mahogany, oh, Mahogany L

Ayo, L-Boogie—what happened to Peace?

(Peace)
