Like Love

This I can say with absolute certainty
Any gaze that meet eyes glazed with purity
All in my body gave way to assurity
It was sunset like the ones that
Only come on ya hearts’ll come so the new sex
In my youth let hearts collide
He sparked my mind
For years he’d start the fire inside
We held hands together
Then we started forward making plans together
We even danced every last dance together
And smoked blunts in the parking lot
We met mom and pops
We the residents in love’s headlock
Caught up from the jump, all at once deadlocked
Tight like a dreadlock on a nappy dome
Happy home like the Flintstones when we made the bed rock
You know you got it locked down like (love)
But somehow it don’t sound right (love)
We keep playin' that sound bite (love)
And you got it locked down, right? (love)
You know you got it locked down like (love)
But somehow it don’t sound right (love)
We keep playin' that sound bite (love)
And you got locked down (yeah)
Was the end of an era y’all
Actin' like a gentleman but I had the parasol
We was the perfect match
He was for certain catch of the season
The bee’s knees, son
Or whatever they be sayin' when you found that one brother
The kind that undone the other ones so the summer come in
Every pretty young thing parade those stands
Throat was so hoarse from all those ahems (ahem)
So who you lookin' at, money?
You’s a bee’s knees but Hopie is a honey, dummy
Know you lookin' funny chasin' tail
What the hell you ain’t got no class? You failed
Chill another heart at youth’s expense
Intents I expect young love to make sense
Since I know better, I’ll watch my letters
He was no g, just ok, I’m v for vendetta
You know you got it locked down like (love)
But somehow it don’t sound right (love)
We keep playin' that sound bite (love)
And you got it locked down, right? (love)
You know you got it locked down like (love)
But somehow it don’t sound right (love)
We keep playin' that sound bite (love)
And you got locked down (yeah)
Hopped on the
How you made it in my friend
Ooh you ‘bout to get it now
I comprised an elaborate scheme
‘cause you shattered a dream
When you failed to follow after my lead
So I plan to set you straight
You a dog on all fours, two-timin' like a figure eight
Scaled the tenement wall for my vehement brawl
With my all, what a f*ckin' phony y’all
Maybe took you back if you got your act right
Last night was kinda rough so I dug up the Mac light
And a rope and a Cortez for the chainlink fence
Practiced my broken heart defense
I’ve watched 48 Hours and 20/20
The numbers say love gets sour so I’m ready
Forgot it was your girl so take it like a man
How poetic we can have our last dance hand to hand
You know you got it locked down like (love)
But somehow it don’t sound right (love)
We keep playin' that sound bite (love)
And you got it locked down, right? (love)
You know you got it locked down like (love)
But somehow it don’t sound right (love)
We keep playin' that sound bite (love)
And you got locked down
(yeah)
(love)
(yeah)
(love)
(yeah, yeah)
(love)
