What is Love?
Is it riding for your niggas?
Putting pride up for your mistress
Putting lies behind the real shit
(What is Love?)
All the diamonds that glisten, all the shine and the women
Is that really why you did it?
(What is Love?)
All the times we would kick it, all the pain and resentment
All the days we would chill and fuck
I wonder was it really love?
I wonder was it really love?
You got me questioning everything it ever meant
How can something so heaven sent feel like the devil's kiss?
Red bottom fetishes
Rose gold necklaces
Pictures in the text that lead to hickeys on ya' chest
It feel like this could be forever, wait
But that was just the sex or maybe it's the drank
I'm kinda' talking out the neck
But baby I can show you everything
You just gotta' let me, call me Killa'-El Jefe
Couple months go by, I got her talking bout Giuseppe
She called it gi-sipy, of course I had to correct her
Ding, got a text, tried to hide it
She popped the question like
"Why you got yo' phone screen down by yo' left hand?"
She sitting on my right
I grab her thigh like that's my best friend
Same time her phone vibrated,
She quick to check it, grin
Then she let it ring a couple seconds
*Beep* leave the message, now we both looking aggressive
You gone do this while the guests here? Damn
I should've guessed it
Her friends was in the room, slick watching, turned up the Netflix
I'm lying and she lying, we both know but we won't let it
Go, cause time invested
Feelings is too connected for us to up and forget it
So we just keep on telling ourselves this shit gone get better
Fucked up, love struck, stuck
Up in the web of time
Cause the last thing that we wanna' do is let each other down
But we too scared to tell each other we ain't really found
We ain't really found love
What is Love?
Is it riding for your niggas?
Putting pride up for your mistress
Putting lies behind the real shit
(What is Love?)
All the diamonds that glisten, all the shine and the women
Is that really why you did it?
(What is Love?)
All the times we would kick it, all the pain and the resentment
All the days we would chill and fuck
I wonder was it really love?
I wonder was it really love?
Is it loss? Is it overcoming vulnerability?
Or essence of function? What is love?
Is it a pinch in yo' soul?
Or a hint where you know
That you can drop the hoes you want to fuck
Seeing her in the eyes of your children
Getting arise out of your niggas
Saying, this time it'll be different
Is it hiding the murky tide cause she religious?
Or is it more hiding your birth time cause she spiritual?
Artifice or proof
Jumping in a no finger dipped in a swimming pool,
The swell that keep your tail end in your inner tube
Conductive touch
Is it gravity? Is it the reason God be acting like he mad at me?
Irrational or has to be
Innate to have us lassoed, grabbed up by this tattered leash
Cattery she calling for her Calvary, I poured a cup
Yea, yea and she floored as fuck
She ain't understand pain was to be ignored a hunch,
Afforded was from shorties
Orders forced into a water cup
For real short ones implored by the gorgeous ones, I'm on the cusp
So I stay on pivot, unmoved by the mere unblemished
Love a tardy promise with a tawdry premise
What is Love?
Is it riding for your niggas?
Putting pride up for your mistress
Putting lies behind the real shit
(What is Love?)
All the diamonds that glisten, all the shine and the women
Is that really why you did it?
(What is Love?)
All the times we would kick it, all the pain and all the resentment
All the days we would chill and fuck
I wonder was it really love?
I wonder was it really love?
