[Verse 1]
Black love, Black man
Black thoughts, Black skin
I'll kiss every inch of you
'Cause the world can be so cruel to you
You do what you gotta do
Take care of me and you
Take it easy on you
Taking time to love you
[Pre-Chorus]
Tomorrow's not promised
To someone who looks like you
Never know when I could lose
My love in the streets (My love in the streets)
So I'm making love to you
Ain't making war with you
I make it a point to
Show how much I love you
[Chorus]
'Cause you made it back to me (To me)
You made it back to me (To me)
You made it back to me, yeah
I'm gonna hold you, oh
'Cause you made it back to me (To mе)
You made it back to me (To me)
You madе it back to me, yeah
I'm loving on you 'cause you made it back to me
[Verse 2]
Black hole, Black girl
Big heart, cold world
Warmer when I'm in your arms
Tangled in charm
Stars shine a bit brighter with you right behind me
When we're laying down
My safest place is you
Just us two
[Pre-Chorus]
'Cause tomorrow's not promised
To someone like me and you
Never know when we could lose
Loving so true
So I'm making love to you
Ain't making war with you
Just wanna hold you (Just wanna hold you)
I'm grateful you're home, too
[Chorus]
'Cause you made it back to me (Made it back)
You made it back to me (Made it back)
You made it back to me, yeah, oh
You made it back to me (Made it back)
You made it back to me, ooh (Made it back)
Oh, yeah
[Outro]
Your blood, painted trees
Blood on me, Coretta had a king
I can't breathe if you can't breathe
We both breathing in
Love in the deep end
From sea to shining sea, skin on skin
Your eyes looking back at me
Hate the sin that could hold you back from me
