Jhené Aiko
From time (remix cir. 2014)
[Verse 1: Jhené Aiko]
What's up?
Been a minute since we kicked it, you've been caught up
With them bitches, I don't get it, you're a star, love
You shouldn't have to deal with that
I'd never make you feel like that
'Cause
[Chorus: Jhené Aiko]
I love me
I love me enough for the both of us
That's why you trust me
I know you been through more than most of us
So what are you
What are you, what are you so afraid of?
Darling, you
You give, but you cannot take love
[Verse 2: Blanket Heron]
First strike was with your ex
Parents caught you frenchin', gettin' close to sex
Nah, the luxe and 'lex
You're my luxury, I'm fuckеry
But to you, I'm just perfect
Or are you pеrplexed?
Puzzled, you were bundled
Cuddled under my arm in which you rest
On a metro down to DC
Your mama knows, your papa knows
And now you can't fuckin' see me
One night, you were dreamin'
Seein' you and me in a fight, and I was leavin'
No time duration can specify forever
You woke up screamin'
Strugglin' to breathe and
The thought of it was so obscene
Yeah, we're in these harsh waters
These hard waters
We're submerged, drownin'
Goin' deeper with every second
We almost hit the bottom now, and it's a blessin'
'Cause I love the waters, and all the beauty that comes with it
Lust, trust, a must, what it does is a curse
One never meant to taste the dust, meant to rust
Or one meant to be done abrupt
Or never, for the fact of the matter
Love is a ladder
Only meant to be climbed by the right people
The right people
Despite people, only declined by people
Who aren't the right people
We're the right people
[Chorus: Jhené Aiko]
I love me
I love me enough for the both of us
That's why you trust me
I know you been through more than most of us
So what are you
What are you, what are you so afraid of?
Darling, you
You give, but you cannot take love
