starts off with Black Thought in the back of the whip, talkin to his driver (cue dialogue)

first verse: Thought narrates from the car as homegirl argues with her mom at mom's house about "hip hop" (aka Thought), flashes to scene where girl, after drinking away her anger @ mom, gets herself into dangerous position at some kind of chill session with too many negroes (they can be dressed to resemble the fashion of different musical genres)

chorus: Thought rides around in the car while homegirl sleepwalks down the street after her encounter (countless passersby sing the hook)

second verse: Thought narrating from across the street as a montage plays: homegirl and her man arguing about an album that she's listening to (presumably GAME THEORY), she's also reading a current Roots article that includes Thought's picture; he storms out while she storms upstairs, he picks up his mistress, she daydreams about Thought, Thought looks toward her house from under a streetlamp, dude comes home a little tipsy, throws his coat on the floor and leaves the room, she grabs the coat and condoms fall out, she rushes upstairs and confronts dude, he denies it, shouting match ensues, she storms out and to her car, she cries with head on steering wheel

hook & fade: Thought climbs into the whip, drives slowly past homegirl, she looks up as he is rolling up his window, he drives off...

*This is just a starting point, but I would love to see "Baby" come alive.
