This here ain't no romance, it's an urban erotic tale...
Little Eva's got a monkey and her body's up for sale
Daughter of the ghetto, abused by friend and foe
Eva's got a secret, it's gonna cost her don't you know?
A deal went down on Rikers, of that there is no doubt
Eva was the trade-off, someone special sold her out
Dreams of fame and big success, little Eva has no wins
Fiyah does a bid for her, she's gonna suffer for her sins
Lies, deceit, and power reign supreme on ghetto streets
It's an everyday struggle just to stay up on your feet
Schemes and fiends and playas cut deeper than a knife
The next man's thirst for glory could cost Eva her life
So this here ain't no romance we 'bout to stop and hit the bricks
'Cause on the streets of Harlem the good ones take the licks
