*Sung* i met my baby at the. "vee eye emm!" --> from commercial
Verse one: kwest
Now way way back, when when her, him and them, couldn't spend
Loot on guess and timb's, we got fresh for less at v.i.m.
Shell top adidas, aptiva kangol's and lee jeans
No in betweens, you either had em or was wack, know what i mean?
And v.i.m. was the spot to get em, one day my homey
Hit the avenue shoppin, and i bounced up there widd'em
The ave. was full of fly girls, but i wasn't on the hunt
All i wanted was my puma's and a gold front
Stunts was runnin back and forth in v.i.m.'s, lookin for someone to help
But i was like, "no thanks skeezer, i'll get my stuff myself"
I was in the sneaker section, peepin out a pair of nike's
When a sweet pretty voice asked, "what size would you like?"
I looked up and yo, i met these lovely brown eyes
Attached to an in place face, and body that can make your nature rise
Jocked honey for a bit, then said, "a size six miss"
She smiled and walked away, yo kid, i gots to get this
*Sung* i met my baby at the. "vee eye emm!" --> from commercial
*Kwest sings* while buyin some sneakers, we felll in love!
*Sung* i met my baby at the. "vee eye emm!" --> from commercial
*Kwest sings* while buyin some sneakers, we felll in love!
She came back to the spot, with a green puma box
Took off my kicks and stared in shock at the fat hole in my sock
Damn, the worst that could happen happened, i felt like breakin north
When honey burst out and started laughin
Thought about then realized yo, it was kind of funny
As i laughed and put my shoe she asked, "that's all you want money?"
I was tempted to say, "umm, can i have your number too?"
But i didn't wanna play myself cause yo, that's not too cool
"Could you show me a pair of lee's to match these, size 29?
And umm, would you mind goin with me to mickey d's?"
Now where did that come from? damn, i went out like a herb
But when she said yes to both questions, i was like, "oh word?!"
She paid for my stuff, plus got me a discount
Went to lunch and after that, saw each other a mad amount
It's ninety-four, but v.i.m.'s is my store for life
Not only did they help me get dipped, they helped me get a wife
*Sung* i met my baby at the. "vee eye emm!" --> from commercial
*Kwest sings* while buyin some sneakers, we felll in love!
*Sung* i met my baby at the. "vee eye emm!" --> from commercial
While buyin some sneakers *crackin up*
*Sung* i met my baby at the. "vee eye emm!" --> from commercial
*Kwest sings* while buyin some sneakers
Me and my baby fell in love love love love love love
Love, love love love love love
*Sung* i met my baby at the. "vee eye emm!" --> from commercial
