Opium

[Verse 1]
She called me up
Said she needed to talk
Desperately need a friend
Say she need me again
I know this story should probably end it before it starts
Me and logic have a meeting
But my lower brain attends
Fuck it
Just listen to her
Tell me she's trying to keep it together
But all her new nigga does is just rip into her
Initial thought: "Screw her
Forget saving this chick
If you play superhero
She'll be your villainess."
Logic has a loud voice, but the heart is undecided
Aching to open up, and aches even more to invite her
Then I'm reminded how good it feels to be snug inside her
Before I know it she's in my bed and we fuck till mañana
Playing casual with questions like, "How's your mama?"
I know she couldn't a give a fuck, but I still give an answer
Because we both know we're just stalling the drama
So grab your armor and brace yourself for ensuing trauma

[Chorus]
And I know that I should tell her kick rocks
Break a toe
But I won't
Cause reason ain't stronger than lust
And i know that I should dead it
Give it the final blow
But I don't
Cause reason ain't stronger than us

[Verse 2]
So we're right back to the arguments
Wasn't long before it stopped being marvelous
Kisses on her neck seem to be enough to pause this shit
If only for an hour
Then I'm left to wonder how I fell for this poisonous flower
Perhaps I was attracted to the scars around her heart
Should of warned me of the last time that she was torn apart
In my arrogance I tried to be the beacon in the dark
Then I fell
But there was no one below me with a tarp
Call herself 'bored', so she's packing up and leaving
Never cheated, always given you respect, and that's a weakness?
What the fuck?
What you mean you and that other nigga speaking?
I guess all that you needed was for you to be mistreated, huh?
Feel like I'm bleeding, bruh
She cries, and I eat it up
Fiery goodbye kiss, I'm tryin' to heat it up
Say that I needed her, she say that he need her more
Then she leaves me there, frozen, staring at the door

[Chorus]
And I know that I should tell her kick rocks
Break a toe
But I won't
Cause reason ain't stronger than lust
And i know that I should dead it
Give it the final blow
But I don't
Cause reason ain't stronger than us

[Verse 3]
Another promise to myself to keep my guard up
Another beat is a canvas to draw some bars up
Just to remind myself: when something seem too good to be true
It probably is, and I shouldn't get beside myself
Besides, shorty's doing well, and that is all that counts
She and dude living together, she became his spouse
She don't need me now
So why am I in shorty's house?
With the proverbial shovel ready to dig shorty out?
