Waves Freeverse

[Verse]
I remember your accent and scented candles
And your best outfits always ended in sandals
And you never wanted me to place you on a mantle
So you slipped from the top shelf cuz you were just too hot to handle
And I'd never seen nothing like you in my life
What an example
And you still remain the only girl I'd gladly rob a bank, kill an army with an armored tank or leave the motherland for
How close was your school to Stanford
I killed it in freshman year and almost transferred
Had all the answers
And I'm an actor
Weekends out in Hollywood and shit
But I've been rolling with this lightie and its like she knows the script
But see you, you've always owned the role
My aunt and Gracie keep asking about you over and over
Save that story for Bora Bora when I can afford it
Or back to Manuel Antonio and reconnect our stories
We on the same page or I'm going off?
Are you still awake or you're dozing off?
I'm coming strong or is my boner soft?
Oh muh God
I hope you still appreciate the dirty jokes is all
Our relationship wasn't Noah's Ark
Granola mornings, alcohol and horror movies in the afternoon
Started undressing and your roomies haven't left the room
My trip around the atlas has to happen soon
But all these practice laps could land me at the moon
With my African influences
Spanish, did your fluency manage to have immunity
After Paris and Munich
And half the lands that we dreamed about and threw em on the bucket list
Thank you Mr. Zuckerberg, I'm totally loving this
Button click
You wonder why I'm popping up again
You were the subject of discussion when
I brushed my teeth and stared into the mirror
The morning that I heard of flight 370
That shit got my mind thinking clearer
Got me fearing like
What if I never see your face again?
Or we never share the same space again?
What if my patience wasn't paper thin?
I knew you would've made amends but it just couldn't be the same again
It had to end the way it did
At least I've got to say that to myself, it's just the way it is
But sometimes I be flipping like them skater kids
Honestly though, it is what you say it is
Just know one day amma make a hit record dedicated to the better days then celebrate
At the party I want you next to me though
So is this image realistic as far as fantasies go?
I wish my lyrics could fix the past like I'm Flash, it'd be dope
Or a magician, Nigerian, see we can't stand to be broke
You know I'm glad to be home
But see I'm actually roaming inside my noodle
And rarely frugal with cannabis smoke
But send me the note when you plan to elope
I got caffeine I'm woke
Ready the boat
I'm ready to go
Steady and slow
Don't bury my hopes
All this talk of your engagement, don't tell me, I know
My guess he matches your complexion so Daddy approves
If that's all I was up against, I was ready to bruise
Your mum already been wooed like a Migos ad lib
And African genetics look attractive in her grandkids
Gave the world a queen, got me at the union spewing once the microphone to me
Or forever hold my peace
This ain't Hollywood, I know
I still live inside the scene
With no comedic relief
Word to Keegan Michael-Key
This is scary, this foolish from the weaker side of me
This is stupid, I'm too stubborn, I can't live and let it be
See even down on my luck
And weakened all at the knees
Don't realize my defeat
I'm living life by the beat
Residing behind a dream
We're lying back on the beach
Can't make us out from afar
We're making out by the sea
