Not Used To It

There's no mistake, I'm in love with you
And I know, misery is what we're used to
But it's like going against nature naturally
We're born to struggle, but with you I feel free
Can't we just forget about the past?
I'd like to be brand new at last
Because I don't feel like I deserve to smile
But fuck it, I won't question it, I won't deny
I feel as insecure as you
I've never been this happy too
But if being out of place is the cost
Then let's rendezvous at the Bureau of Lost

Fuck it, I'm in love.

I'm happy, why is it harder to write?
Just let me compare you to the moonlight
So bright, you make darkness non-existent
Rising the tide so the land ain't so distant
Love is the way I look at you
Look at me, read my eyes true boo
Refreshing like a Red Headed Slut
I want you more than waiting an hour for some Pizza Hut
With the munchies, you make me feel like brand new money
Unspent energy all day, burned up when it's just you and me
Honestly, even if they're on the other side of the door
We can unwind in the privacy of the bathroom floor
My hands are made to relieve your stress
I won't ever use them to oppress and possess
I love how we obsess about the next time we meet
How you make me feel like I can never be offbeat
Because you'll beat on the drum in a whole new pattern
You make me want to one day own rings like Saturn
I ain't southern, but I say "yes ma'am," it's just factual
That I don't say the "n" word 'cause I think it's disrespectful
With you I feel like things can only get better
I expect nothing less from a couple of go-getta's
Room service, bathrobes, eating peaches and cream
Do Not Disturb sign on the door, don't care if they hear our screams
Who would've thought American Gangster can start a love story
Who says it's a bad first date if you watch a movie?
'Cause we hit it off like Barry Bonds all pumped up after a shot
And we defied all expectations anyone has forethought
I feel free like never ever setting off the alarms
Liberty is the feeling of being caught in your arms

Blind

I know this is not unconditional
We're just in the dark running into walls
More interested in protecting ourselves
Putting more trophies into our shelves
Best Comeback, Most Right Answers, Most Likely To Not Change
How many hurtful sentences are we willing to exchange?
I feel deranged
With how much of myself I've modified
Just so I can better fit the profile
So you would always have that smile
I can accurately say that I did change for the better
But I can't let go of me altogether
If you can't accept me for who I am right now
Then this won't work
I can't see how.

Partner

Woke up, you had the same clothes on
You had on last night
Hell yea you passed out
But you don't have to work so hard
Cuz every other Friday
You know they pass my check out

Got a computer desk waiting at work
Getting paid more than my job is worth
My momma said "Damn baby what's your net worth?"
But I didn't say shit though she put me on earth
Now everday I'm working nine to five
I pray to God thanking him for life
That I have my family and I have my man
I come home to you and you gotta understand

Hello beloved one
Do you know what I want?
Let me see your face once more
I don't need a provider
Come on let's hit the sheets tonight

Hello beloved one
Do you know what I want?
Let me see your face once more
I just need a partner
I just want to hold you tonight

You say you want to buy me the world
Pay my student loans
You don't have to but
Go ahead boo
You know I wouldn't be with a bum
Especially coming from where I'm from
I just need a companion babe
And I've got you

No one might have said this before
But I'll spoil you until you have a rotten core
New kicks, new gear, new whatever you want
As long as you drive, I'll be riding shot gun
We can share the bills, got each other's backs
GPS when you don't know where you're at
I don't want us to be another sap love story
Cuz real love does include how you share the money

Cardiogenic Shock

Holographic mist of false security
Unable to sustain even fictive empathy
Delusive expectations in a faithless trust
Would rather be ignored than recieve fake interest
Fake, faux, imitation, simulated care
Deceitful, counterfeited moments that weren't really there
Pros that make the day up, bromidic cons will kill
Why keep the resistance when the cause will make you ill

Magnificent

No, sorry I can't accept the sound
Of you saying that I think you're boring now
No baby boy, you must be out of your mind
When you know you catch me staring at you all the time
And I try to avert my gaze
I don't mean to stare, but you just amaze me
Every single day when you come home to me
You know you're the only man I see
Who's not a celebrity, haha
And even though you're no Kobe Bryant
You do things for me that the others haven't
You're not fluent in Italian
But you know how to talk to this woman
And when you bend over to pick something up
You know I'm there with a lil tap and cup
I'm not just being silly
I really do want you baby
And when I hug you, I hope you realize
That I think you surpass all the other guys
Baby you're the description of magnificent
You can count on me that I won't be transient
I'm here for the long run baby boy
I can see our relationship being as strong as titanium alloy
I'm still shocked that I have you
Can you imagine if I took a different route?
Just went on my way, threw that
Myspace message out?
Well I'm just glad I didn't
Your personality is so potent
It matches me perfectly
I want to get to that point where
You can't see you without me
When I look at you I see a man
Who will always take my hand
Show me how to rise above
Maybe one day we'll fall in love
But for today let's just be
And see that you make up so much of me
