lyrics

I’ll save it for you
No rush I will never part
Created for you
Knew it right from the start
If there’s love left to bring will you bring some for me in your arms
if it’s for someone else I won’t tell if you steal some for me

But I don’t give a damn about us
Cause you don’t give a damn about me
And I can’t keep on dreaming bout you
Cause there ain’t nothing changing round me

Only one I really want is you

They try and sell you happiness in a box
They never tell you All the things that you are
You are strong you are king your August you are sweet and serene
Your a gift from a far away star the only one for me

Run through my heart like a coca field
Love is the drug now let’s make a deal
Stash a bouquet in the alley way
Find my way see like the CIA
Here baby here let me work your corner
Cook nigga cook nigga no remorse
Minnie and Mickey and Ricky Ross
Hit so many flips we could find a war
Strawberry letters like poppy fields
Writing you tellin you how I feel
Swallow your pill got me catching feels
First on that pill now I’m on that needle
Mi amour need some more milligrams
Cash in hand meet down Lil Amsterdam
Me and man we down lil Amsterdam
Three strikes we locked for like life

Like so many others, this came like a bolt out of the blue and, even though it's well before payday, I had to have this astonishing album on vinyl to prove it exists. The feel of the tunes makes me feel like the Impressions do, Curtis Mayfield, the big spaces and instinctive horns and stuff drifting in and out. Great grooves and I can see lots of ghosts nodding along to this with big smiles on their faces. At last! Anthony Cottrell

Just a beautiful jazzy rap album with buttery smooth flows versed with huge talent. It's not only lovely to the ears, but the lyrics are profound and empowering about the struggles that she faces. zhangtastic
