Black Orpheus

I don’t know if I ever wanna wife

‘cause when I get a good woman

I don’t ever do it right

I knew emcees bit

But I never knew love did

The way it did when it did

We had a kid

Together but our together

Felt like a bid

Our love was locked in a grid

 

We sampled true love

But the shit never cleared

I’m a man in the mirror

You got my name smeared

Playing them f—a-man songs around the crib

But you can’t hide love

From it I never hid

 

A slave to it

The only time we don’t argue is when

we do it

Mistaking love for so-called making love

But if it was real

We wouldn’t have to make a dub

I shouldn’t have to hate to love,

the physical route ain’t the only route to love

when the sex wears out

a nigga needs a scared hug

yea real brothers get lonely too

don’t even ask what me and my homies do

if I tell you it’s you

then it’s only you

 

you got me by cooking and washing

and your view on religion

now it’s dirty dishes and you only

believe in bitching

once we lost the trust

we lost us

now I must adjust

back to Black Orpheus
