Genres: Comedy, Short,You're gorgeous, flawless, roll for me the hardest
Open up that box and try to show me where her heart is
Hurt is, couldn't store love like she's hardy
Maybe it was meant to be hurt you it takes like orbit
I started spacing off, and she got jaded
Her friends stop popping off, when they got faded like
Passion, passion, she was already lost in
Girl I ain't wanna leave me swear I laid it down proper
She was all in my bbm tryina watch it close like I'm dvr
Put it in the middle like a medium
And minding on the stars like I'm media
Damn, it's ugly, way you don't give a fuck b
I played a lot of games till she threw it back like rugby
And I caught it, caught it on a second then I bought it
Spent some days thinking about it, any maze girl I slept on you
Like what's waking up if you're shaking up the whole world that I once known
If glitter falls, you loose it all, ain't no appearance, no glow
[Chorus]
So if I give you my thing, promise not to break it
I'll take your love and, I'll never forsake it, no
Let this be a love trade
Like wizzy and georgey, you know I was made for you
So baby gonna get it right
Yeah we may fuss and we may fight
But we can make it up all night long
And if I give you my all, would it mean anything
And if I go husting for you hard
Would it be my any means, that I guarded
Just tryina be honest, I won't admit for no promise
When we started, we departed,
Told me the new times due to my cautious
I know I paused it, I played you round
Stopped our flow and fade it out
You stayed calm and waited out
Like when them grey jays came out
Nasty shit that I've been meaning
Understand it without reason
Bonnie and clyde flow
We the type of team that get a ring
And come back season's round the corner
My payer call my folder
These hoes get no love, girl you don't want this cold shoulder
You're ocean to my peer, we can see the sunshine from here
Know you tired of all these waters for real
But I got something new I wanna show you
I guess we're grown up
When love bubbles like a soda
I guess this is a jones, huh
Say baby can I be your slave
Give me your flower, you can dig my grave
Death to my old ways, ...ears
[Chorus]
So if I give you my thing, promise not to break it
I'll take your love and, I'll never forsake it, no
Let this be a love trade
Like wizzy and georgey, you know I was made for you
So baby gonna get it right
Yeah we may fuss and we may fight
