"Pay Girl" or "Bay Girl"

On NPG Ahdio show #7 (I think), there is a track that starts with a sick guitar lick and a slowed down Rainbow Children-esque vocal saying "Ain't no girl like a pay girl, because a pay girl baby is hard" or something like that. What is this song? I've loved it for years.

Yo, if I don't something something

or hold your chair

or pretend to listen to ya

when I really don't care

What if you trip?

Who's gonna step in?

Yo Charlie can't save you.

He's make pretend.

Free spirited pay girl,

lemme tell you something about the real world...

There is none.

I would put a lawn chair

right there in the middle of dance floor.

Get my mail there,

have a garage sale there

with little something something

putting little toys in my ear

Something something

can't find where I was

yo he back in the bay

he done fell in love

5 foot 6, Carmella something

and all to one place his bloods rushing

I try to be responsible

but it's hard with you pay girl

repeat

WHAT IS THIS TRACK? I DON'T KNOW WHY, BUT I FUCKING LOVE IT!

I wish u heaven

There's no official title for it but it's usually called "Bay Girl" or "Bay Girl Rap".

It's likely it's been recorded only as a seugue for that NPG Ahdio Show but who knows...

I've wondered who it might be directed to, Rosie? Sheila? It's not fair to speculate, but I have wondered.
