How unsettling, arm wrestle would settle it
A vision of a diamond ring began developing
In you I revel in, careful to protect women
Smoke clears, soon to reveal an adolescent
How menacing, testing and then rejecting them
Eject not sex, but lack of communication
Sending a clear message, I don't want you texting
I'm sorry, it's not you but me, don't get offended
A fragile heart that can't take the weight
Soul leaning into a God when learning is how you make it
A lack of something, what causes elimination
Big Mama said it best, it be a lack of education
Or lack of a back up, stop insinuating
Stop regurgitating a knack for imagination
So it seems, a girl with good genes
I was there to get to know you, not get into denim jeans
Please I'm for commitment, my aim if I'm realistic
I'll paint it in words, surely I'm slinging the verbs I live in
Baby I'm trying to wait on, I can put the weight on
If I was taller I'd tell you stories until the day's gone
Yet the daze on and I feel it when the day's on, got me dazing
So I, keep spitting words I want to live in
I'm sorry for the way that I acted, I'ma live up
So we tell them tall tales
Envision a tall layout, when living a life
Exaggerating on how you came up
Unbelievable elements, what's fact or fiction
Want to get a rep, repetition is what you're missing
So we tell them tall tales
Envision a tall layout, when living a life
Exaggerating on how you came up
Unbelievable elements, what's fact or fiction
Want to get a rep, repetition is what you're missing
A risen standard
How can I plan to match up
When I don't even match up
I need school and it would be cool, if I could catch up
Since I'm twenty now, and I don't know if I stand out
I got goals, surely you'll know I'll man-up
Pan-left out the horizon is where I found luck
Found love in a place that was so hopeless
Broken, my hope in God so now I'm low less
So we tell them tall tales
Envision a tall layout, when living a life
Exaggerating on how you came up
Unbelievable elements, what's fact or fiction
Want to get a rep, repetition is what you're missing
So we tell them tall tales

Loaded filled with the fire of what He possess
Possessed, hands filled with fire of what I soaked in
Baby you got game, and I'm feeling the way that you groove
Know that I'll see you soon (I will)
So don't move on up, from the last spot
No I won't pass up talking about hip-hop (Never)
Or even if we talk about life while we walk around
Talk about, love at first sight
What does it mean, when people run out of steam
Community be a need, when chasing a summer scene
A light gleam, visual of a ring
A promise of purity, pearls seen within a dream (Yes)
Uncurl in safe zones, new tones to play on
Uplifting rhythms for soul, is what we bank on
Take one, an act or how the day's run
Is he authentic or fraud, I'll know when the day is done
And when the day's gone by will the saints come
Marching on by, still waiting for it to rain some (Yeah)
