07 She Said

wb: i wanna be together, i wanna be with you, i wanna be forever, that's when she said

wb: you know, she's the queen of my earth/ and cause of her, i was risen in birth/ and though despite our different ways, i praise and cherish her worth/ running this race, it seems half the time she's lost/ battered and bruised, and so i wonder at what cost/ do you hustle and struggle for the way you provide/ these contradictions of thin lines make emotions hard to confide/ things in a bind, you're there to ease our pain/ the past has got us stuck in this game/ though, same ol' same ol' lust, lies and illusions/ most times you wonder why she chooses/ former abuses and uses as excuses/ and so you throw up a guard and play hard/ but still swing around the same play-yard/ distraught you seem barred from finding your path/ and yet i wonder why we don't last forever/ bask together/ can't get enough of your presence/ coming from your essence/ it's of a sweet effervescence why i'm seeking your lessons...

sl & wb: she said
all i want is you, it doesn't matter what you do as long as you show me the truth
she said
i'd rather keep it real, than for you to plot to steal, get caught and not provide the meal
she said
your grown but not alone, an empty house is not a home until it's time to have your own
she said
i wanna be your lady, so if not then never maybe, but i'm 'bout to have your baby

sl: she said i agree we from different side of the tracks/ replied with a laugh, beside of the facts/ sparks fly like igniting a match/ as we reminisce baby do you remember this?/ met your little sister one michigan summer/ i'd like to chat again would you give me your number?/ she replied with a smile time passed i decided to dial/ first time we chat, you was fly at the mouth/ "i don't know who you is, but i know where you from. don't front don't play dumb, i know what you want."/ i could see you was tired of/ the games i retired from/ constrained by the lies of lust/ pain that we rise above/ invest months on the phone a quarter later we met/ my helper even then caught her making my bed/ worth every sacrifice i'm never shaking my head/ to separate us what it's taking is death, yeah

chorus

wb: though the love is kinda-sorta/ she' pumping my aorta/ wishy-wash to get me off the course that i've been brought up/ lifts me off the tippy-top and shifts me on the border/ of insanity/ on the stand to keep receiving torture/ i swear to sin and cop a no-contest plea/ to see where this could lead, of course i'll show i'm blessed/ see, but she's looking to me in hope i could be the answer for we/ and now we're standing at the doctor's for synopsis on her pregnancy

sl: my pearl said once she got a college degree/ she had to hoist up from the ouster olive street/ say bye to ky/ hurry from murray/ for she scurry i want her near me/ on with the story/ securely pops offered a spot in the suburbs/ we talk fly like lovebirds/ but moving minus marriage where she is from is absurd/ so another reason that i love her
