Protea

(album: Protea - 2023)

Said she loved me so (Said she loved me so)
She said, "Boy, I'll take your name" (Boy, I'll take your name)
If you give me love (If you give me love)
Shit, I got that in space
When your well is dry (Dry)
When your sky is gray (Sky is gray)
I'll be by your side (I'll be by your side)
Each and every day

Lord knows, back when I met you I was a lost soul
Couldn't trust nobody, had the door closed
Your love, your body, I want all those
Hit the, skrrt!, sharp right at the crossroads
Tap-tap on the door like it's morse code
Dumb days with you, I want more of those
She gone, I be feeling like the North Pole, oh-no, oh-no, no
My protea, girl, we can go all day-a
In the Off-White like LAYA, love go way up
Band weed, great bitch, pay up
Bitch, love feel like lay-ups, hope y'all stay up
No more streets I came up, still this [?]
Money [?] way up, you my drugs and Daya
Me and you now, not later, yeah

Said she loved me so (Said she loved me so)
She said, "Boy, I'll take your name" (Take your name)
If you give me love (Give me love)
Shit, I got that in space (That in space)
When your well is dry (Well is dry)
When your sky is gray (Sky is gray)
I'll be by your side (I'll be by your side)
Each and every day (Every day)

Stay up late, ain't life amazin'?
No debating, not complacent
Not the basement, ain't where love to see me laying
Unresponsive, soul is fading on the pavement, I
Sacrificed the life to make it out
Demons tried to come and take 'em out
Blazing trail for us, I made a route, the love, I don't regret a thing, I say it, love
Bitch, you can never kill my vibe
Got burnt up tryna kill my shine
Sit back down and steal my time
Brooklyn boy went Hollywood, in the hills, I had to heal my mind
Took my space and took my time
Born with things you could not find

Said she loved me so (Loved me so)
She said, "Boy, I'll take your name" (Take your name)
If you give me love (Give me love)
Shit, I got that in space (Space)
When your well is dry (Dry)
When your sky is gray (Sky is gray)
I'll be by your side (I'll be by your side)
Each and every day
