Beauty and Thug

[Verse 1]
[Mary J. Blige]
So burgundy, the window to his soul
It seems he tapes his eyes closed
From huffin' on, that's what he's puffin' on
His style is rough, he wears his hair in cornrows
His jeans hang loose and low
So his—oops—he can't be comfortable
I mean, he's gotta be comfortable

[Jaheim, Mary J. Blige]
Now she's the type
That's compared to a rose that grew from the concrete
Sweet, you know (So sweet)
From the streets, yo
Now she's the opposite of he
Have you ever seen a lion sleep on the bosom of a sheep?
It's beautiful (Yes, they are, baby)
Yeah, thug, though

[Chorus: Jaheim & Mary J. Blige]
She's so beautiful and he's a thug (He's a thug)
They're so different yet they're in love (They're in love)
He's so thugged out and she's so beautiful (Beautiful)
They're so perfect 'cause they're in love (Yeah)

[Verse 2]
[Mary J. Blige]
Picture this, his warm velvet voice on a cold winters night
Sugar free, bitter truth
Building life from a slang so divine
Soul to soul, their flesh pressed
From a firm grip of onyx tenderness
He signed his name with a venom kiss
Upon a heart, I never heard of such bliss

[Jaheim, Mary J. Blige, Both]
Now she's the opposite of he (Opposite)
Such as a butterfly and he's a killer bee
Yeah, she becomes a victim to his sting and
He's amazed by the colors of her wings and
The life he's led has left him with some scars
But she viewed them all as mere beauty marks (Yes, I do)
The moral of the story, plain as can be
He loved her 'cause he is me (You're mine, you're mine, you're mine)

[Chorus: Jaheim & Mary J. Blige]
She's so beautiful and he's a thug (He's a thug)
They're so different yet they're in love (They're in love)
He's so thugged out and she's so beautiful (She's so beautiful)
They're so perfect 'cause they're in love ('Cause we're in love)
She's so beautiful and he's a thug
They're so different yet they're in love (But so in love)
He's so thugged out and she's so beautiful (So beautiful)
They're so perfect 'cause they're in love (My angel, my angel)

[Bridge: Jaheim & Mary J. Blige]
Da, da-da-da, da, da, da-da-da, da
She's beautiful and he's a thug
Made for each other 'cause they're in love
She's a petal and he's a thorn
From a different type of story since they were born

[Chorus: Jaheim & Mary J. Blige]
She's so beautiful and he's a thug (Yeah, you know)
They're so different yet they're in love (Yeah, yeah)
He's so thugged out and she's so beautiful
They're so perfect 'cause they're in love (We're in love)

[Outro: Jaheim & Mary J. Blige]
She's so beautiful and he's a thug
They're so different yet they're in love
He's so thugged out and she's so beautiful
They're so perfect 'cause they're in love
