Story behind the song
My recent revival of a childhood/teenage relationship motivated me to write this song. It's about my ex/current boyfriend, Adam, and the long story of how we came to be what we are now.
Lyrics
I got a man but we're separated by land and water This nigga got me so sprung I'm already namin' my daughter "Eve" after Adam, my personal gift from God not the first person, but the only one in my heart I lay in the dark and late at night I picture your face and all the things u do to me and my heart quickens in pace No matter the space between us, I will always be yours and if u got a question, baby just go straight to the source cuz u know U can tell me anything on your mind and if u ask me my opinion I will tell u no lies Cuz I don't got time or energy to try to keep track of fictional excuses devised behind ya back What we lack in the physical is made up in mental We got hella distance so problems are just incidental But we gon' make it through, and this I already know Cuz I got too much sense to ever let you go I know about the girls that u're used to but baby I'm not one of them U can see this time that it's different cuz I'm ya lover and ya friend Forget about the girls that u're used to They're done, cuz U know all of them are after jewelry and dollars but I got too much sense to ever let you go verse 2: U and I met when we were in elementary I was 8 and you were 10 so this is just heaven-sent to me I've known U for so long and yet u remain a mystery We gotta whole lotta future to add onto our history The distant past is fuzzy but I think I remember warm nights sittin' on G-Mama's porch in September Singin' along to Twista or Crucial Conflict Playin' 106-JAMS and we were pissed when we lost it I recall in 7th grade when we went to the show Makin' bitter bitches jealous so they called me a ho But how could they know that it was u who was my first date when I was 15 and too geeked 'bout stayin' out late I remember gettin' in trouble for missin' curfew Midnight was just too soon for me to say 'bye' to u We'd go to Hollywood Park and just sit in the lot And in your little sports car things could get pretty hot Though we were older I was still pretty young We had to end it, right when it had really begun U were outta high school and then went off to the Navy And it would be three years b4 I would see my baby So I waited and soon the hiatus was up and when I saw u, baby I admit I was stuck I pimped u for ur new number like, "Aw, U got Sprint? I can call U for free, so lemme get them digits." Took me to the Taste cuz U wanted a taste of my Angelina lips--don't let a kiss go to waste We moved with haste Saw sparks on the 4th of July It's 3 months later--I still got fireworks in my eyes In this little bit of time since we been reunited the flame was 3 times extinguished and 3 times reignited So much drama over a bitch who fits my description of a no-good woman, but I'm not the depiction cuz chorus: I know about the girls that you're used to but baby I'm not one of them U can see this time that it's differnt cuz I'm your lover and your friend Forget about the girls that you're used to They're done, cuz u know all of them are after jewelry and dollars But I got too much sense to ever let you go
