You've GOT to be kidding me. Straight fire. So dope.

I heard you
I heard you been getting around 
Didn’t deserve you
Didn’t deserve the way you held me so down
Sticky situations I find myself in 
We know what this 
No use in pretending 
With every conversation it gets too intense
Nothing without intention
You play games that you win
And that is why

You
Unusual 
Chaotic but 
So beautiful  
I know you know I know 
I see through the ruse 
Come be my muse
Let’s break the rules 
You go I go you go 

Ice man with the finger roll
Current state looking pitiful 
Down on my luck and down on my knees my view is cynical
Sonically sound as smooth as a baby’s bottom
The bottom of barrels baby I’m beggin you please 
I’m looking over the edge 
(Internet explorer)
Love lives over the hedge and yet I’ve never known her 
Them type of feelings be making you start your day slower 
Make you say you know maybe I’d rather be alone or
At least that’s what I used to think before we met  
I don’t play tennis but it’s back and forth a match it could set 
You point me to new types of things I never could forget 
The day I let you go I make decision I regret 
You know 
You make me feel like all my feelings need verifying
If nothing else I’m out my depths and it’s terrifying 
You got something ain’t nothing like
And that is why
And that is why

You
Unusual 
Chaotic but 
So beautiful  
I know you know I know 
I see through the ruse 
Come be my muse
Let’s break the rules 
You go I go you go
