I know that nobody really cares about the stuff I make as much as I do, not yet at least- remembering this helps make this music thing a whoooole lot easier. It was never about the attention anyway. I just wanna bring justice to this tender and tumultuous moment of my life.

When I wrote this, strangely enough, I was feeling more optimistic about 'us', and by 'us' I mean an old flame of mine.

In retrospect, that moment was just a weird cocktail of drugs, confusion, and love in its most painful form. To be perfectly honest I think I simply fell too hard, and too fast. yknowmsayin?

I was happy for a short while... maybe? After the luster faded, I realized just how unhappy I actually was. It sucks that I ended it myself, but it would have sucked more to stay.

I love you but I must abandon you, like I must abandon this song too.

LYRICS

VERSE 1

I don't fuck with all the flexin
for the fuckin record
all the mirrors
they don't show me ur reflection
u can photoshop a motherfucker
chokin ya with the rose colored
don't detect ya
dont wanna be goin ghetto
I'm down for the go-getter
this guy is a glow-getter
I'm lookin to grow better
this guy is a smooth killer
(he said it himself)

just needed somebody to phone
to tell I'm comin home soon
snow in the phone booth
(brr)
when I am under the weather
(I'm catchin a vibe)
don't sweat it we in this together
(you here for the ride?)

CHORUS

come on & swing your hips
to the hits
forget the bitterness
(adlib)

whatever happened?
to old fashioned
slow dancing?
(adlib)

would it be out of line
if I take your hand
& promise good times

whatever happens

VERSE 2

I only got so many quips,
I only got so many tricks
how long till you callin it quits
long enough to get my wits
about me
always about me
I dont belong in the mix
never been so alarming
I'm itchin for another fix

I only have so much time
can't waste it staring at the pavement
I wanna cherish the vibe
ain't in it for quick entertainment

Never been brand new
always been off brand
I have been off hand

I'm stuck like a statue
lucky I got me a brother
like Matthew
gimme the shit and I'll stash you
gimme the time and the smoke and I'll pass u
hop on this whiplash
on this dump past
know I'm in it for gettin to crack you
(know I'm in it for gettin to crack you)

maybe it's Greenview
maybe its Fairview
I'm lookin there's no one else like you

heart on the line
but everytime
Im comin back in with the bad news

CHORUS

come on & swing your hips
to the hits
forget the bitterness
(adlib)

whatever happened?
to old fashioned
slow dancing?
(adlib)

would it be out of line
if I take your hand
& promise good times

whatever happens

VERSE 3

I know that there are days when he doesn't feel like fuckin
but when we do I'mma make sure that it means sumn'
they fuckin but we make love
they got him for a day
maybe a fortnight
yeah they fuckin with a price tag

he the type of broad to swallow
you don't even know
ur "we" is weak, nothin but hollow
bitch, he is just lettin you borrow

I'm lovin him to the bone
cracks, faults, and all
he make it hard
aint no love without the fall though
