lyrics

Tell Me What You Miss

Verse One
Maybe it’s the candy, flowers
The baths and hot showers
Words of poetry, your mind it did devour
Just the flair of a gentle man
With better plans
Made the mistake
Started dabbling in other lands
Thought the grass was greener
Life is much meaner
Looking for ma girl true
Tell me “Have You Seen Her?”
But that’s all good, you do you like you should
Reapa be the dumberjack, lost in the woods
Make’em yell “Timber!”, have the drawers falling
And when I get up to leave, baby girl bawling
You didn’t know what you had, now you ain’t got it
Played me like obstruction, and you can do without it
‘Cause I’m putting all in order and I’m clearing holy waters
Setting up my dominion and I consecrate my borders
‘Bout 2 get what’s coming to me and you be holding nothing
That be what done happen when your love be coming fronting


Chorus
(2X) When the love was it on, it was on, and dope strong
Now it’s gone, you done wrong, another bad love song
Now tell me what you miss, babe
Now tell me what you miss, babe

Verse Two
It’s funny how your sight was distorted
The truths you avoided
Reality that got to be
Is quite distorted
The handy man, now candy man
And quite sweet
But the everlasting arms
Put him up out of reach
Now I motivate and innovate
Without all of the debates
Don’t have to figure equations
Cause it’s coming all straight
I can hear myself think
And stay up off the brink
Without a song, with the pen, pad, paper, and the ink
A little paper loss in pocket
But I don’t need the wealth
I got the God, the physicals, and a modicum of health
Wadn’t really a looker, but I ain’t half bad
And I’m sure there’s a queen who will want what you have
And threw away with the trash, you thought it refuse
But I’ll be recycled and put to good use
And when I genuflect and reflect on times that’s gone
I might just write another bad love song
