In this smooth cut from Slakah’s “Soul Movement Vol 2,” Slakah, Ian Kamau, and Spek Won trade stories of woe as they war with their significant others about the feelings of betrayal and frustration that are poisoning their relationships. The hook synthesizes this frustration by airing hypothetical q...
[Intro]
[Hook]
Do you love me enough to not always be right? (Always right)
And do I love you enough to admit when I'm wrong? (Admit when I'm wrong)
And do you love me? (Honesty)
And do I love you? (Trustworthy)
So if we love each other let's open up our eyes
And let the bullshit fly
[Verse 1: Ian Kamau]
They say a kiss is not a contract, and sin is not skin contact
We've gone beyond that
And every failure it's another step, around every corner another net
Lost we often get
Caught by cupid's bow, but we don't listen
So, we'll never know if love ago is missin'
In a single breath, as our lives can
Left our reflection like the right hand
In a pool of shallow words that were torn apart
Like the world was when I lived with a lonely heart
With the verb love, like a grain of salt
On the tip of my tongue, I know it's my fault
And failure often blooms our insecurities
And love like the flower of the seed
Our pride won't devour our greed, but our love will
Kinda wish I was in love still
[Hook]
Do you love me enough to not always be right? (Always right)
And do I love you enough to admit when I'm wrong? (Admit when I'm wrong)
And do you love me? (Honesty)
And do I love you? (Trustworthy)
So if we love each other let's open up our eyes
And let the bullshit fly
[Verse 2: Spek Won]
Wassup Geneviève (Power)
Relationship is now sour with the power of the lemon tree
This is something we thought we'd never be
Either we fight the power of sour or turn Public Enemy
'Cuz sour ain't the flavor of love
A relationship's a job, ain't no wages above
The minimum
I called up the Labor of Love (union)
They say attention I ain't paid you enough
But, ain't no freedom for you for childish living
I ain't feeling your style of defense
Here comes the silent treatment
You say you're cool, but not once have you smiled this weekend
We used to be the best of friends
I know sometimes I crossed the line like a Mexican
I know I got more pride than two lesbians
But, right now, my main question is
[Hook]
Do you love me enough to not always be right? (Always right)
And do I love you enough to admit when I'm wrong? (Admit when I'm wrong)
And do you love me? (Honesty)
And do I love you? (Trustworthy)
So if we love each other let's open up our eyes
And let the bullshit fly
[Verse 3: Slakah the Beatchild]
Miscommunication, this relationship is through
No more ménage à trois, all you've done is think you are, oh me and my girl we are so through with
Accusations, confrontations, all because of you
Best you can stop it, if you learned your lesson
You only come back with the [?] of your spelling
You and I will get by
If we trust, trust enough
You and I will get by
'Cuz we're [?] in true love
[Hook x2]
Do you love me enough to not always be right? (Always right)
And do I love you enough to admit when I'm wrong? (Admit when I'm wrong)
And do you love me? (Honesty)
And do I love you? (Trustworthy)
So if we love each other let's open up our eyes
And let the bullshit fly
