Ladies be loving me like some well…. maybe,
Just a little cuz for a time I fell and felt shading,
Became Slim to the ribs but never felt Shady,
Put an extra notch in my belt and learned how to pot gravy,
So do I know her no words,
Knew is truth is I grew firm,
Till I grouped onto loose form,
Went from warm to wearing loose fur in this cold world,
Lose touch cuz I used up the moved pearls,
Went from a diamond to finding my timing in the rough,
Driving in circles searching blindly,
For what was always lying in my trunk,
Went from a Tiger to a line of liars supplying to the fronts,
Allowed myself to trifle from the guidance just to idle in the clutch,
Stuck under a pile of desire just to run,
Back to what I tried to replace twice and should’ve brided from the jump….
-HOOK-
The things we do to fall in love,
We say and do are all because,
The love is real till all is done,
The things we do to fall in love….
Haters got nothing to say now….maybe,
Cuz the flow went from Reggie to soooo faded,
Progression so adjacent,
My table placement and role have grown 80,
Degrees from the separation that measured what I’m saying,
So I’m staying far from any talk about being coupled up,
On my bars and that’s all me and the team ‘bout to double up,
Me and the schemes ‘bout to huddle for another run,
Cuz everything is different now that moments have passed,
heart never closed it’s just that I froze what used to open my grasp,
and they said low key I got the album of the year though,
nah folk but I can say my outlook is looking clear dope,
so even though I’ve bloomed what used to consume my soul is a weird rose,
and words that used to be glued are now steered clear of my ear-lobe,
don’t loathe it but don’t quote it,
I’m sitting with a Shakespeare’s focus,
But pitching in a faith steered Focus,
On that rideout cuz right now I can’t escape mirrors cloaking….
-HOOK-
The things we do to fall in love,
We say and do are all because,
The love is real till all is done,
The things we do to fall in love….
