‘Eye Candy’ is the third and final single to be released ahead of ‘FEMALE’ and bookends a trilogy of thematically connected songs. It continues the tone set by ROSA to introduce listeners to his own brand of artistry and peel back multiple layers of masculinity and male emotional maturity. ‘Eye Cand...
[Verse 1]
She gotta go to work on Monday
Tryin' to lose weight, gotta watch them sundae’s
But the club's kinda hot on Sundays
And her outfit is ready for that Paris runway, but
She figures she can squeeze in, instead of just skipping
She feels like she gotta be leaving
She's too eager, she thinks she gon’ miss something
Two weeks ago, same routine, see somethin'?
Man, she's loving the spotlight, she a pretty girl too
Type of woman you can wife
Drink in her right hand, purse in her left
She walks in and automatically has the attention
First glance? Folks can't stand her
She got charisma, confidence, swagger
It don't matter, cause I got the same elements
But when I saw her, she just threw me out of my element, whoa
I observed for a minute, I set my sixth sense on sharp
Reading her body language
Cause I'm a sucker for a flat tummy, in low cut skinny jeans
That's money
Lil' dimples in her face
And she had what seemed like an invisible waist, hold up..
[Chorus]
She’s shallow
Simplistic maybe
She’s hollow
Materialistic lady
She follows
Instead of being creative
Just gotta be patient
Eventually we'll outgrow the pavement
[Verse 2]
See, that sixth sense comes in handy
By glancing I could tell she was just eye candy
Type of girl that loves to be seen
Not a gold digger yet, but she’s always on the scene
She kisses everybody on the cheek
And if she doesn't know'm?
She knows EVERYBODY
She's 19, she’ll be 20 in a minute
She'll tell you her whole life story for no reason
Her goals in life are way different
Shallow dreams of being a known vixen
It's all about how many people she knows
Name dropping every minute, she don't even notice it
Latest fashion just to look attractive
She don't even care that every other girl got the same outfit
Ridiculous ain't it?
Worst part about it? Her brain's already tainted
[Chorus]
She's shallow
Simplistic maybe
She's hollow
Materialistic lady
She follows
Instead of being creative
Just gotta be patient
Eventually we'll outgrow the pavement
[Verse 3]
She's kinda like..
The girls Amy Winehouse sang about in 'Fuck Me Pumps'
She got on her fuck me pumps
And she keep sippin' liquor till she fucked up drunk, wait
Looking for the next hunk
And she don't want a piece of the pie, she wants a chunk
It's not that she's dumb
It's just that her mind state, is only logical to some
To her credit? She's not your typical "dumb girl"
She brings balance, it's the way of the world
She's eye candy, not meant for words
God made her this way, you can't change her
So when you see one that you like?
And you can't have her?
It's not cause you not fly
Her mind is on some other prize
Consider it her loss and just let her walk by
Bye
[Chorus]
She's shallow
Simplistic maybe
She's hollow
Materialistic lady
She follows
Instead of being creative
Just gotta be patient
Eventually we'll outgrow the pavement

This song was actually a last minute addition to the project and wasn’t even going to be on it, let alone be a single. I had it laying around for a while and wasn’t sure what to do with it. As I was finishing the album, I went over the tracklist and finally decided to add it to add a mood that I did...
