work out

waiting

i swore i could see her in everything i'm touchin
from my speech to the beats to the leaves of my dutches
slippers when i'm home, when i'm broke she my crutches
and if i spit a verse a capella then she's percussion
things wasn't workin f'real not for nothin
put puppies in the oven and you can't call 'em muffins
remember all the fussin, the drawn out discussions
the foreplay and lovin til the broad day is comin
i remember meetin you at broadway & somen'
thinkin i could stare at you just all day it's nothin
calm & abundant, real talk never frontin'
plus you got that chocolat dark skin, i love it
we just wanna build to the sky try and touch it
but our babylon had to fall apart crumblin
and we was all in it, for the long distance
now that it's gone though i'm caught reminiscin

things don't work out all the time baby
let's live up in the sky realign the stars maybe
we can make some sense of this life it's all crazy
i mean who can even say what's right and all lately
things don't work out all the time baby
let's live up in the sky realign the stars maybe
we can make some sense of this life it's all crazy
but thank you for the time in your heart and all baby

ha, i remember how she used to call me jasonface
i still love her but i'm caught up in the paperchase
not to say that any of that could ever take her place
but people need to grow, and for that yo they need the space
for months now she said she felt neglected
and when i heard it put it all in perspective
far from perfected, but still there was love there
for her to not tell me alladat yo it's unfair
and somewhere in the timeline of life
i know that we can come near and just shine in the light
and when we up there we reminded of why
we could even persevere when the minds not alike
a diamond, no lie, a prize for my sight
and i realize you and i in the sky
is just not right for this time in our life
but gotdamn baby you da bomb, word is bond

chorus

mmm, i don't know though, she takin down my photo
and i don't feel right in a relationship w/ no dough
yea though we so close, the feelings they are no joke
though money isn't everything, stability is so dope
still yo, we grow though, emotions on the low-low
in these circumstances we gotta go for dolo
still wanna be with her, but know that's a no-no
even though i pass by her door when i go home
and stare at her window, the lights they are still on
wishin for her silhouette and scent on my pillow
life is a riddle, it is what it is though
now all that's left is a song for my ringtone
and a few poems from the heart and the mental
you deserve a throne for your part, it was special
kiss full of bliss, all told yo i miss you
i sit & reminisce all day what we been through

chorus
