Lyrics -

I said "until when", she said "forever"

I hope by then that I'll be old enough to know better

I tip toed on a pretty little landmine and

Read the body language that she wrote between her tan lines

But now we find our better judgment at the whim

Of the fingers writing cursive on the surface of our skin

It's like they're fumbling to unbutton the buttons

But there's something in my stomach that resembles reluctance

Because the moment that our tongues begin to speak french

I feel like a ghost in another lover's feet prints

I need a defense

In case she repents

Under the pretense that we should probably be friends

There's flowers in a wine bottle on her vanity

And a wooden crucifix that hangs above her bed

She was asleep, I was looking for an exit

Cause I know she doesn't love me and I wish we never met

She was a forty five caliber sweetheart tucked under my chin line

And when the casings hit the pavement it reminded me of wind chimes

It was a thin line, a perforated edge

It should have torn apart the moment that we laid in bed

Head on my chest, like she's following a metronome

She was a poem, like a painting, like a lilac

And when she blinked, I think the universe stopped

As she traced a constellation through my freckles with an eyelash

But, it ain't affection. She called it foreplay.

It wasn't making love either, it was portrayed

With words in poor taste, the kind that strike deep

Designed to redefine beautiful as quite cheap

There was a bright street light peaking through her window

And when the wind blows, it stutters like it's tongue tied

But so was I

We were strangers in the morning

So when I said "until when" she should have said "the sunrise"

Your artwork is probably the best fitting for any album (in their respective rights), that I've ever seen. The soft colors and tranquil feeling in all of it fits the timbre of your voice. Overall, you're my favorite rapper of them all- world famous or not.
