lyrics

Yo, so I was kickin’ it on the corner with my boy
When I saw you for the first time like peep the decoy
Got me stutterin’ for real, I don’t know what to do
I can’t handle you, and god damnnn check the iris
I nudge the kid and tell him like yo she the flyest
Broad I ever done seen, like I don’t wanna be mean
But good lord she make me wanna be bad creep the scene
So I saunter on over, like yo where’s the rover
Cuz you’re way too damn fine to look like that and have a mind
No offense, but if you ain’t wived then the whole world be blind
From a block away you got my jaw droppin’ lines
But now I’m speechless, offer your name and I’ll give ya mine
I’m like, yo I’m quest what’s up it’s nice to meet ya
I’d like to treat ya to a day of looks and a slice of pizza
Your mouth is sayin’ no but your eyes say otherwise
As you crack a faint smile and give away your disguise

I crack a cheesy joke in an effort to break the ice
Ya slip me a laugh pat my chest with half ya might
I keep focused on those eyes, read between the sight
I ask what you’re looking for, you say a boy who’s nice
I’m like glance no further cuz your wish’s been granted
Got your kind boy right here and I got the playful banter
You make me feel good with that cute grin of yours
So let’s keep ya smilin’ I’m a fiend and I want more
Yo so am I dreamin’? Did I float up out the ceiling?
Cuz I swear to god girl you got my mind steady reelin’
Stealin’ my heart like it ain’t no thang
Getting’ popped with cupid’s arrows cocked the glock bang bang
I ducked low, but one hit me in the dome
Got me seein’ stars while I’m keyin’ bars in my home
And ya know that I’ve seen this all played out before
Like all the times past where I seen dimes spent walkin out the door
And they left me empty, alone with my thoughts
And a handful of questions like yo, why were we not?
But I got faith, and ya know I’ve made it this far
So I’ll be damned if I won’t try to be your man that sets the bar
Ain’t no benefit that ever came from doubt
So lemme do my thing and I promise I won’t ever make ya pout
Tryna figure me out, ya know it ain’t no use
Cus I’m just another romantic beaten down singing blues
And ya know I’m gonna keep on looking for all uh the clues
The way you smirked, sheepish lookin down at your shoes
Scanning for answers like toelines from evening news
Screaming truths, flee the noose, creeping roofs in the rain
Ya know tears held back can make the tame insane
They got me runnin for the hills with callused feet
From all the fakes spillin shit like boy you so damn sweet

This is for all the nice.
