Our timing wasn’t perfect but beyond the surface
A deeper love, can’t describe it, went beyond the verses
You gave me chances, but ain’t dancin’ in nobody circus
You datin’ wit’ purpose, want a man that got some urgency
I extended the courtesy, you ain’t gotta work with me
The flirtin’ be, right on target I’m Cliff Barton
I can surgically, balance the charm wit’ clever jokes
I be pokin’ at yo mental; you fallin’ ain’t incidental
The first date, pulled up ballin’ but this a rental
Went to Cheesecake, I had the fettucine alfredo
But you need steak, carne asada then we head to the casa
Skipped dessert ‘cause you prefer lickin’ on my cone
I don’t judge a woman knowin’ what she wants
‘Cause I want it too, bet you thinkin’ no one knew
The way you was lookin’ at me at 9, I knew I was through
Fishin’ in them ponds for that bond
Yo pros ain’t got no cons
It’s double digits only, ain’t never been into 9s
The type to keep it tight and get finer when it declines
Attraction is hella crucial, I hit it then hit rewind
That’s enough about the physical
Yo analog matchin’ the tapestry in yo digital
We late again, early mornin’ convos about the cosmos
Like what if God knows
At every step in life, my doubt was growin’ fivefold
Now I’m in meetings wit’ some movers life beyond dope
Fate up in my hands and I will not choke
Dawg I met this angel in a dark room
Then cohabitation promisin’ we gon’ be on soon
That was years ago, but you ain’t go nah

That was years ago, but you ain’t go

I ain’t the rose type but here’s a bouquet
Better yet the whole flower section in the front of Publix
You deserve a husband
I wasn’t ready for the time that requires from me
I’m makin’ music, doin’ shows, on the road on several coasts
Life is kinda fuzzy
Yo recollection slightly different of course
You recallin’ times I was very present but forced
Interactions when I needed to be left alone really
You asked, I got defensive, that set the tone really
But the way I see time is like a metronome really
You talkin’ ‘bout coworkers I’m focusin’ on my purpose
I try to give solutions you tellin’ me it ain’t worth it
If you want empty words, then I’ll point you to several churches
I need a solid partner that back me up when I’m hurtin’
And I tried to do the same, but you never open to change
Know my praise come with caveats
All them problems yo daddy got
Boostin’ shootin’ dice
We both know that his caddy hot
I got all yo secrets ain’t tellin’ nobody nothin’
Girl this a private discussion
I know why you never trustin’
Yo lovers’ bad frequencies beatin’ you like percussion
I tried to be that jazz, by doin’ yo dreams justice
To Pimp A Butterfly, wanna see yo mother cry
When I’m walkin’ you down the aisle
Underneath a summer sky, you and I
Gotta work it out, know this a long text
Spell-checked, underlined
Hit send then you replied wit’
