just an explanation really as an ex-pat brit living in France i'm not up on this phrase, it's for a colleague of mine who is French so i reckon she'll find the term if i can confirm the meaning, or describe the vibe of it to her - thanks

a neighborhood girl, natural, confident, attractive, and fun

Song lyrics from a rap song called "Around the Way Girl" by LL Cool J - if any of these need lyrics need any further interpretation, I could probably help!

I want a girl with extensions in her hair
Bamboo earrings
At least to there
A Fendi bag and a bad attitude
That's all I need to get me in a good mood
She can walk with a switch and talk with street slang
I love it when a woman ain't scared to do her thing
Standing at the bus stop sucking on a lollipop
Once she gets pumping its hard to make the honey stop
She likes to dance to the rap jam
She's sweet as brown sugar with the candied yams
Honey coated complexion
Using Camay
Lets hear it for the girl she's from around the way

CHORUS
I need an around the way girl
Around the way girl
That's the one for me
She's the only one for me
I need an around the way girl
(You got me shook up shook down shook out on your loving)

Silky, milky her smile is like sunshine
That's why I had to dedicate at least one rhyme
To all the cuties in the neighborhood
Cause if I didn't tell you then another brother would
You're sweet like sugar with your gangster talk
Want to eat you like a cookie when I see you walk
With your rayon, silk or maybe even denim
It really doesn't matter as long as you're in them
You can break hearts and manipulate minds
Or surrender act tender be gentle and kind
You always know what to say and do
Cold flip when you think your man is playing you
Not cheap or petty
You're ready for loving
You're real independent so your parents keep bugging
But if you ever need a place to stay
Come around my way

CHORUS

Perm in your hair or even a curly weave
With that New Edition Bobby Brown button on your sleeve
I tell you come here
You say meet me half way
Cause brothers been popping that game all day
Around the way you're like a neighborhood jewel
All the home boys sweat you so you're crazy cool
Wear your gold in the summer with your biking shorts
While you're watching all the brothers on the basketball court
Going to the movies with your home girls crew
While the businessmen in suits be hawking you
Baby hair pumping, lip gloss a'shining
I think you're in the mood for wining and dining
So we can go out and eat somewhere
We got a lot of private jokes to share
Lisa, Angela, Pamela, Renee I love you
You're from around the way

English term (edited): a round the way girl

groupe musical anglais qui s'appelle "Lillix"

"Round the way girl" is a reference to an English group called LILLIX...probably from one of their songs. I am out of my depth

Turns out that Lillix is not only the name of a band, but the screen persona for the group's keyboardist Lacey Lee Evin. Check around: you might find her on the Weezer.com message boards, sharing her favorite Pixies songs ("Velouria," "The Navajo Know") with fellow Rivers Cuomo fans.
