The first

You the first one I always contact. Be it good news or bad. I make it home after a long trip you tell me you're happy I made it. Pick a moment from our past and you I know I saved it. Just so I can recall all the laughs and falls. When you arrive anywhere you become the belle of the ball. Giving you unconditional energy is the right call. Cause when my hotline bling and its not your ring it doesn't mean anything at all. I'm on a mission I can't afford to fail. So critics can keep their 2 cents cause I'm yearning for more than heads or tails. I want a decent head on my shoulders with many tales. With hopes to inspire or liberate. So please don't ever denigrate. My zone is too high to infiltrate. And when I'm in it, I'm just thinking of our next movie date.

You the type

Excuse me if I'm intruding. But to not talk to you would be losing. I promise I can be amusing. And any rough patches I promise to get through them. You the type to take home to mama'. Make mama holla-lujah praise the Lord. You the type to push me to want more. Walking by the store one year next year ain't nothin' I can't afford. You see only queens got it like that. That know their self worth and work on what they lack. No way that you're perfect. No way that you never been hurtin'. But you keep your head up and work through it knowing one day it'll all be worth it. You aint in to all the new waves. You more interested with your next test date. And I never mind giving you a break. We can chill and talk about whatever. I usually hate small talk but with you I'll discuss the weather. Tell you not to leave the house without a sweater. Cause if you get rained on then it'll just make it that much harder to weather the storm.

Food for thought

Back to the basics. Save the mess for later. Ima keep it 100 like a graded paper. It's more than just your looks girl, your mind is the greatest. Go out and let all them other girls hate it. But it never phases you. You stay real cool. Like the swimming pools in Moscow do. Braids down your back. Beauty causing heart attacks. Endearment you deserve that. You rekindle a fire with one touch. Food for thought you provide breakfast and lunch. Dinners on me and I got just as much. Looking for dessert, other dudes wanna take off your shirt, or slide off the skirt. See I can appreciate your anatomy without the casualty of killing our innocence. Unlike a phlebotomy I'm drawing for vibes and to please your curiosity it ony makes sense. So don't be tense. Only when you tighten your grip. I know you're bound to fall and I'm prepared for that slip. Or trip whatever, no baggage needed here. Where we going only dreams appear. 

No pressure

Second chances.. Never really granted. So if you get it understand its a blessing. And contemplate if you're prepared to learn another lesson. I been doing things that I'm not accustomed to. But like Ne-Yo said its all because of you. I been thinking thoughts that'll make you think that I'm higher than a loft. I been searching for ya' I been searching for your heart like it was lost. Hated that I got in between you and your ma'. Ima fix it best as I can. Show em all that I'm a better man. Get the shirt with the tie. It's only standard that I get fly.
Cause I'm hopin' that you and I.
Can soar for a lifetime. I'll look you in your eye and see what you really need. I already know that its really me. Put the pretty in front of please. Before I ask you to take that leap. End up like MJ in space jam. They tryna bring you down but you know they can't! For you I'd break the bank. But you gotta make sure I always got a full tank. So we can go the distance. And I gotta be the only one you missin'.

Careless.

I could careless what your friends say.
I just wanna be across from you on wedding day.
As the time passes I just grow and grow. And your beauty continues to shine and glow.
My priorities are what I'm focusing on. So don't think not hearing from me means I'm leaving you alone. I'm just getting in my zone. and trust when Im completely in it, all the waiting will be finished. And your feelings will never diminish. I've been saying you're the greatest. The sound of your voice is all I need on my playlist. Life has its ups and downs. But you forever keep me up. Heart beats crazy when you're around. And your smile gives just enough. No looks of lust, or angel dust, this is all legit and I don't want the end just like that crust.
You my favorite toppin'.
When I pull up just hop in. And yeah girl I aint stoppin'. So just toss your doubt. And really learn what I'm all about.

Directing

Are my eyes deceiving me? Do you still believe in me? Are you still up to pleasing me? Cause baby if you're still down. I got this here golden crown. And I know its fittin' cause you've been a queen. You've been a man's wildest dream. All the things you've seen I can only imagine. All you've been thru I can't change what happened. But I can direct what's next. Spike Lee or spike Jonze whoever's best. You fill the role so exquisitely. Your beauty shines so immensely, and if you ever forget your lines I'll be the voice inside to remind you that you've always been fly. And when I look into your eyes, I'll remember why I chose to say action. Cause passion is what your packin'. Most can't keep up with it, but I'm going stride for stride cause girl I get it. You been lookin for someone to love you the way you love too. That means showing the same affection that you do. Got your feelings deeper then the end of the swimming pool. Luckily I swim good. So let go and lets make plenty sequals like we should.

KP

I remember that night like it was last, but the thing that's sad is its been 1 year since that nights past. I remember all the times I made you laugh. But the funny thing was you'd be looking at your phone crackin the same smile. Had me wondering when I'm gone who you dialed. But I trusted you, I believed in you. And its safe to say my thoughts were true. You held me down like a weight or somethin'. I held you down and was never frontin'. I kept it real 24/7. You made our time spent feel just like heaven. Now times have changed, so I had to fall back. But moving on from you has been a tall task. Like Yao or Shaq. I hate this feeling I swear I do. But now I'm grinding more than ever. Maybe both of us will find something better.

Missed

Explicit memories. and I don't mean taking off any jeans.
I meant pain like us agreeing to leave.
And the implications that came with it.
That smile on you how could I not miss it. That mouth on you I should of never kissed it. Cause now I'm here reminiscin'. And you over there givin' out digits. Oh you want a bad boy like a Piston? Oh you tellin me you really don't miss this? Where your bags at, clearly you're trippin'. I'm not writing this to get you back or anything. Simply a congrats on the next dude you talk with about rings. You deserve something good if it couldn't be me. Yeah I know we were both young and naive. Regret crosses my mind often. I just need to put that in the coffin. I pray the Lord blesses you ten fold,  all these feelings I have can just be let go, and we both continually grow nurturing our souls.

Blueprint

Look inside of my mind and you can see that Ive always been genuine. Root for you even with odds stacked against you I know you can win. If you're looking for the greatest just know I am him. I guess I should have held my horses in disclosing some things to you. But I was kind of hoping for mutual feelings too. So whatever happens happens I can't distress. I don't want anything to be too complex. I know you stay in your thoughts and Im the same way. You were my favorite thought to think of everyday. I write a lot but what can I say. In a universe filled with uncertainty you certainly were the only truth I seen. You're the other side where the grass is way more green. I take pride in doing what's good and righteous. Build a statue of how great you are I might just. Cause something of you that lasts forever ain't nothing more righteous than that. But I'm no architect so these words are something that will also stay in tact. Never met another similar. Some seemed familiar. But you're the clear winner. I just hope you don't go on and forget about me. For years straight you were my greatest inspiration when times were cloudy. I know you know your worth. I just wish I met you first. Life may hand us a gift or curse. So you're equivalent to a lifetime of Christmas' and that's just what it is. You're a blueprint if I have kids. Especially a daughter. Shes not going down that alter if the dude don't feel for her how I feel for you. And that's just the flat out truth.

Blessin' me

The temptations of lust, or the sacrifices for love. Which one is worse. How bout all the above? Your ways are more pure than the whitest dove. That boy growing up watching cartoons caught feelings without a glove. Butterflies inside like my life consists of me riding on the highest ride. I surrender with 6 flags. Oh so sad that I can't pull a rabbit out my bag. To match your magic. What a mountain to climb to defeats what's tragic. The time has came and went. The perfect moment I probably missed. But who knows it could still probably surface. Your convos got me allergic. Cause you always blessing me. I sneeze for a cheese and will bleed to the knee just to pray til I'm deceased. To get what I desire and what my heart needs. My brain all it has to do is think. And come up with the schemes to change my view of scenes. Like where the grass is way more green.

The greatest

I need to get back in the mind state when I got kicked out at home. Long nights contemplating on my own. Reminiscing talking all night with you on the phone. Cause in that time is when I got in my zone. Figured there was something greater. Knew it was coming sooner than later. Dreams of you and I doing it major. But now I got a new one who I want to wear the crown with me. But sillly me its not just one its more like 2 or 3. I never meant for it to happen like this. Staring at the ceiling thinking of things remissed. If I could have back I wouldn't have took you for granted. Would of soothed you every time you panicked. Fixed every situation that was damaged. I just want to make it I promise I do. And when that happens I'm coming back for you. And if you'll have me I will gladly treat you to make you uncontrollably happy.

Cure

Forever in my mind, different strokes different times. Here lies, the young soul gone but not forgotten. Never seemed like trouble but never a problem. Beauty on her was evident but she was never sure, so was she insecure? Hope she found a cure. The laugh and smile was pure. And her joy could be spread around the world twice. Hate being annoyed but was terribly nice. Oh wait here she is back to life. And shes come prepared with a gun and knife. Cause shes realized, that what's inside, is more beautiful than what the eyes can see, and the ears can hear. No need for tears, no need for fears. If they ever try to kill your vibe again, just let 'em know that you always win.  No matter the time no matter the day cause the world is yours to take, a queen takes no offense to what peasants say.

Your presence

Do it all do it big for a good girl.
Make you feel real special like I should girl.
If I didn't know any better I would of thought you were a hood girl.
Cause you don't take no mess, no crap from anybody.
And if I had a coupe, you still callin shotty.
My memory of you is never spotty.
Ever since I met you it's felt like I had the golden ticket.
You the Chris Paul to my Blake Griffin. The maestro to my inspiration - you reason why I get it. Like some Tubes tied girl I ain't kiddin. Don't own any luggage cause you never trippin. And I could be delusional but I know in your presence you make me feel different. Ill accept you for the good and bad, flaws and all.
Anytime of the night I'll accept your call.
Your beauty is oh my gosh, just your smile puts me in awe. You ever need a smile just lay down and read this from the top

Elegance

I wanted you all to myself. A downfall in itself. The moments you were gone felt like an eternity. But when you came back your love nourished me. Yeah I had to grow and so did you. Now that you're gone its like a bad tattoo. I wish I never had it or I could do it over. I imagine my arms once more around your shoulder. And my fingers running down your spine. And all the times you used to cry. Whether I was the cause or not. I hated to see you that way I just wanted you would stop. Your smile was everything. An ounce of greatness mixed with a pound of elegence. You the bio major tell me when those two mix what do you get. You of course and that's just it. That's why I'm writing this now cause myself I can't forgive. You doin your thing and I respect that. Just wondering if the love will ever come back.

Repetition

There you go again. Got me shaking my head... there you go again. Conforming to this life of sin. You're not the same one I remember from way back when. When you fell asleep at nine o'clock just to wake up at six and go hard all day non stop. I admired from a distance just giving you props. I used to think you wanted to reach the top. Hey, things change. And you're insane if you remain the same. I understand you have to play the game, but all so you don't have to bear the pain? I still recall the way you said my name. I'm still ashamed. Yeah, I'm still ashamed. Cause no amount of success would alleviate the days we put to waste. As the sun sets and the clouds pass its you on my mind. The wind blows, the leaves fall and I'm out of time. Take a shot, how bout nine? Here's a shot, how bout nine? Remember when you were mine? Or are those memories to hard find? One more shot, there goes nine. We became strangers last month but I guess it's fine.  

Another's treasure

I've encountered many different women. But you're the one I give the most feelins'. And I'm sorry I truly do apologize. Things could get slippery like a slip n slide. But your beauty gives me plenty reason to be alive. I wish you were forever mine, but livin' in these times is a world of demise. Breeding honesty should be the first task. Cause no trust means it won't last. And then we'll be back in the trash. End up being another's treasure. Being held by another in the cold weather. But regret sets in cause your warmth.. honestly I thought there was no better. So lets change hopefully to never. Cause I never want to be without you. The one person that remained true.

Red light

I'm stuck on red. Waiting for the light to change. And see its all a shame.
Cause if I'm here any longer my feelings will remain the same.
And all I need to do is move on. I need that green light, John legend said it right. I'm held back by fear.
Reminiscing about the past year.
I'd run the light, but the traffic isn't clear.
But if I'm idle any longer I'll have to take my chances. I hope my prayers are granted.
I was fallen hard but thank God I landed.
You saw my wounds and I saw yours.
We made love and made war. I wiped the tears from your face and you made my heart warm. It used to be so sore. But I see the green at long last. A few more seconds I would of been trapped. Now I'm in the slow lane with no brakes moving too fast. An accident waiting to happen. But I'll avoid anything tragic. You need to see me become who I'd said I be. Sincerely yours, thanks for everything.

Origami

Wearing my heart on my sleeve like its a fashion statement. Steady avoiding all the hatred and discrimination. Reason why I don't say sh**. But I'll open up to you like origami. Wondering why cupid shot me. But clearly you were struck as well. Feelings gettin' stronger if you couldn't tell. I can be that person you vent to. I'll be sure to tell you I always miss you. And you'll always know it's real when I kiss you. I got two shoulders for you to cry on. But your tears shouldn't last long. Cause I can easily make the pain gone. I'm tryna be the flower that grew from the concrete. I'm starting to see life thanks to your watering. I pray for better days and as I wait it's nothing but a victory with you next to me. Your beauty seems to perplex me. Cause i can't determine if it's treachery or truly unique. Either way I know I gotta do the right thing.

San Jose pt 2

It's not often people meet someone like you.
You're so refreshing, beautiful and new.
From time to time, I may get lost or mesmerized, on how you make me feel.
You're one of kind, with an elegant mind, this is so surreal.
If I ever have a daughter better believe you're the blueprint. 
Her smile like yours, so bright, it'll make you have to squint.
You're an Angel walking this earth. The people you've impacted have been blessed since your birth. I really can't describe what's going on at all. I just know I don't want us to fall. I'm content with the summer all year long.
I can handle the Heat, just like that Spurs team.
I stay humble like Timmy D.
Added to the fact your presence puts me at peace. A divine intervention that we got the chance to meet. Was it for a season or a reason? It has to be the latter.
I see it clearly like a lens crafter.
You bring joy with just your laughter. And make all my worries not matter

God's Work

I know, I know. Only God could construct someone like you. With you by my side the possibilities are endless of what I might do. Got my hands up like I'm yelling don't shoot. I'm just praising the Lord cause my Cheri amore is someone I so heavily adore. I'm never losing so I don't need to check the score. I got many reasons to feel this way should I reveal more? Affection just know I got that. Caring for you no I won't stop that. You're a young queen and it's only right you're treated as such. And although I'm not around or see you that much. It's always your beauty that I'm thinking of. You epitomize grace, you define strength. And your smile good Lord, it makes my heart pace. I breathe passionate sighs before I rest at night. Because it's another day closer to havin you by my side.

**** Interlude

I told her I need to come to the city before she leaves, she said yeah cause its you I need to see. I'm thinking of all the possibilities or you in that maxi, me in my black tee. That smile when you're laughing. I'm grateful that you aint similar to the other chicks that I used to mess with. Cause you aint the type to just fall in lust with. Get rid of that u-s-t add the o-v-e. Ha.. Well maybe, we'll see. As the wheels turn on this gradually, we went from a 180 to 360 that's a full turn around. Went from fitted caps to some crowns. Lounging round downtown. I could walk with you for a thousand miles. We aint got limitations. Where ever you wanna go we can take it. I'll take ya mind off any situation. Take you on a new vacation. Girl what are they sayin? If it ain't positive take them off the playlist. We don't wanna hear it no more. We don't wanna hear the final score. We still playing - the sidelines was always a bore. Right now I just wanna hear how you sound behind closed doors. And you know how that go girl

Warm enough

This view just got me thinking of you. You probably don't care but whatever. I'm standing in a garden under beautiful weather. I thank the Lord I met her. I'm climbing the pedestal. Just to get to you. Along the way tightening up the loose screws. I don't wanna be cool. I just wanna be me with you. I don't wanna be a fool. I'd rather be in school. And take women studies to learn the truth. Of what you really go thru. Cmon now you gotta understand this. I never meant for or planned this. Any hard feelings can we let them blow with the wind. Press restart and begin again. It takes one good time to eliminate any negative memories. But if you ain't about all that I just pray that you remember me. I know you was really feelin me. Those feelings just up and disappeared I see. Keep it lit. Ain't no other dude gon be as trill as this.

San Jose

You are a treasure, very clever. These other ones are fools gold. You and I both know you headed to the top of the totem poll. I can see it in you, you got goals. And pressure ain't enough to make you fold. You would need a shift at abricombi and Fitch. I think I'm dreamin' I need a pinch. Your smile defines exuberance. When you walk in the room it's illuminated. Please understand what I'm sayin. I done seen other dudes start prayin'. Just to be around a woman like you. Your positivity soars high like kites do. But for you, it's more like the NBA team in Houston. Takin me higher and higher just cruisin. You are well appreciated. And that's a fact not to be debated. If men and women lie why is your beauty the truth? You got the formula or better yet the Juice. I surrender I surrender. You alone are the mighty winner, fine like the ice in the winter. I can't describe this so go figure. And once you find the solution. Ill be your number one student.

I do.

Me holding you, just close your eyes and imagine. Go ahead and feel the magic. And don't try and mask it. You make me feel so amazing. You're the only one I'm craving. We both got dreams and I know we'll make it. Every morning I wake up and start praying. I asked that my loved ones be blessed so that includes you. I love it when you're happy I promise I do. Like a bride and groom, you get it; I do? But every moment you're on my mind, I just have to think about how we intertwine. Like your leg on top of mine when we cuddle in the night. When you need me you know I'll hold you tight. When it gets dark you know I'll be your light.

Hello beautiful

Hi. Or rather hello beautiful. That's more fittin' right?
You know your smile glistens right?
OK alright I'll let you breathe.
You got the buzz of a million bees.
Sweeter than all that honey. Hotter than the middle East when its sunny. Priceless so you can't be bought with money. Have you caught your breath yet? Prepared for what's next? You so right I never go left. You got my imagination going wild. Like having a daughter with you would mean one amazing child. Or maybe we could go fly thru the clouds. Live up there and never come down. OK back to reality. My mind says thanks for having me. Cause this is what goes on in my head.
Real soothing before I go to bed.
Therapeutic almost like the right med.
Have you looked in the mirror lately? Now you can call me crazy. But if you don't think you're the most gorgeous thing you've seen, then allow me to boost your self-esteem. reread the first five words please .

Destiny

Who are we to go against what we believe. I see somethin in you, you see somethin in me. It's times like these when each other is all we need. I'll tell the whole world ill get down on one knee. Just to open up your eyes just to make you see. That days pass by and we don't have an eternity. But on the contrary we gotta get this right by any means. So if we gotta take it slow I won't sprint, I'm down to roll. Can't have this thang falling down like some dominos. You the only one I want fallin'. You and me together girl just ballin'. And if whisky was the way to your heart I'd be an alcoholic. I need a moment, make it 2. You got me zonin, you know you do. I swear you got my Feelins runnin loose. So let me catch em back. And let fate run its track.

Journey

The silence that you wear says more than that 7th letter underwear.
I'm walking a thin line.
Eventually turning into a climb.
It's a trek from the heart to the mind.
But the soul, that's a life journey.
It's not always sweet like Hershey.
If the tide turns Ill beg for mercy.
I remember that love could hurt me. Long term, something that a cut can't do.
But your words cut deeper than the dish of Chicago's signature food. Duck duck, you were always the goose. I mean who else would I choose? But if the geese begin to flock, I ponder will you lose your stock? I'll just let faith walk. Smile when I talk, throw up the chalk, you make me feel like a king. Hit the reset please. Cause I never want to lose this feeling. Let's just repeat and repeat until all we feel is healing. The sky's the limit but what about the ceiling? Good thing this world isn't our tomb. We'll just phase thru like souls usually do.

First things first

I wish I had your number still, I wish we kicked it still, I pray you're on your grind still, cause you know I'm on mine still. And maybe that's why I ain't attempted to get back in your life, random thoughts of you got me wonderin' why, I had to go fall for the lust, when in due time my love would have been enough, I took a couple scratches and scuffs, a small sacrifice for you when it was all said and done. But what's more important the gushy stuff, or the bank account adding up? Maybe one day I'll get to see you in your prime. We could rekindle flames and create a brighter light, and a hotter fire, cause you're the one I always desire.
