Genres: Adult,Yo my girl's heated
'Cause I told her I was busy workin' and I couldn't talk
I told her I'd call her back later and she still got mad
That was all I said, word up
Why she buggin' if I promised that I'd call her back
Of course I'm honest plus I'm keepin' things all intact
I be stressed out baby, sometimes on my grind
And on my mind is a paperchase with minimal time
She should know how it goes, I'm still into her
I got feelings for her, I been caring for her
But really though, I mean she ought to know the ideally yo
Especially if I'm in a meeting or out shooting a video
I love her yo but I'm just doin' my job
Ain't no need for confusion what I'm doin' is hard
I'm the type of man with a serious type of plan
I'm calmer, no drama, no need for gettin' hyper
And upset with me because I'm busy a lot
And if I could you know I would bring her with me a lot
Ain't nuttin' wrong, word is bond, it's all in her head
I was handling some business and that's all I said
All I said, I'll call you later
Sometimes, I forget
I love you baby, don't be so upset
I'll call you later, is all I said
I'm confessin' no question, yeah I chill with my boys
Still she gotta keep it real, either build or destroy
This is deep right here, she completes my square
Without a doubt, if she needs, I'ma be right there
This world is crazy, she's supposed to help me stay sane
Supposed to help with the pain, supposed to help me maintain
And quote this, I'm focused on the dreams we share
I got her all up in my mix, so it means I care
This job of mine goes on and on, twenty-four hours a day
And with trust we can win in a powerful way
When I get home, I'm gonna love her down
I'll be like Teddy, get some hot oils and rub her down
I know she's bored, feels ignored, all by herself alone
And she hates it when I turn off my cell phone
But it's alright, don't wanna fight, it's all in her head
I was takin' care of business and that's all I said
All I said, I'll call you later
Sometimes, I forget
I love you baby, don't be so upset
I'll call you later, is all I said
Baby, when you're speakin' like that, it makes me ooh
So watch as you hold on to my spine, I'll crush you
Baby, when you're speakin' like that, it makes me ooh
So watch as you hold on to my spine, I'll crush you
I think we are ready
We're ready as we'll ever be, girl your love is heavenly

Just you keep it steady

All I said, I'll call you later
Sometimes, I forget

Baby, when you're speakin' like that, it makes me ooh
So watch as you hold on to my spine, I'll crush you
