Modern Love

(album: A Gift & A Kers - 2023)

He cry, she there, she cry, he ran, he lie, she care, she lie, he scared
Modern Love and they keep it bottled up
Sometimes it's not enough, so they keep it on the hush
But when he cry, she there, she cry, he ran, he lie, she care, she lie, he scared
Modern Love and they keep it bottled up
Sometimes it's not enough, so they keep it on the hush

She holding him together and he hoping it forever
So he wrote another letter, tryna cope until it better
'Cause he copped a little stretch, now her loyalty's in check
He ain't stopping for a breath, he burning foil on his bed
Man-damn, what's the plan? It all happened on a night out
He riding for his girl, initially that's what the fight 'bout
He find out she kept her past hidden she was stripping
Her cover got blown when she seen who used to tip it
He have to take all this in, he thought she was a good girl
Usually he could tell, he didn't read this book well
They engaged but anyway he hearing all the details
All about his female, man he 'bout to derail
The cunt explaining that he used to get his dick sucked
Used to be like 6 of us, you wifing up a big slut
He looking at his girl and then he smashing half his schooner glass
Stabbed the cunt for telling, he got 5 years and he's doing half

He cry, she there, she cry, he ran, he lie, she care, she lie, he scared
Modern Love and they keep it bottled up
Sometimes it's not enough, so they keep it on the hush
But when he cry, she there, she cry, he ran, he lie, she care, she lie, he scared
Modern Love and they keep it bottled up
Sometimes it's not enough, so they keep it on the hush

A couple years pass, he get out and off the drugs
Now she kinda got his trust, 'cause she waited, "What the fuck?"
He ain't used to loyalty, she fully got his heart
Decided he can live with her, he blocking out her past
Little does he know, what the go when he was locked
She was jumping on some cock, she was running from the cops
They did her for possession, she didn't learn her lesson
They shook her up, she buckled, and she started with confessing
Told 'em who her man was, they knew him from his priors
Make it worse she told 'em she could get him on a wire
Back at home she played the part, he ain't knowing better
He thinking this forever, he slip and he can't get up
He told her how he knocked a couple cunts before he met her
He told her all the details now they got him, it's a setup
25 to life and the craziest part
He lets her come to visit, guess somehow she stayed in his heart
And still

He cry, she there, she cry, he ran, he lie, she care, she lie, he scared
Modern Love and they keep it bottled up
Sometimes it's not enough, so they keep it on the hush
But when he cry, she there, she cry, he ran, he lie, she care, she lie, he scared
Modern Love and they keep it bottled up
Sometimes it's not enough, so they keep it on the hush
