[Verse 1: Armond Wakeup]
Feel like I've been this way a time or two
Times two
Exhausted tryna define you, and finding truth
What I mean is I like you, but I don't like to
'Cause I know how I do
And half the time I barely like me
So, how can I pursue a space and create a place in your mind
Where I am you
The friend zone is like a sect of hell
My feelings I protect them well
That's to my detriment
Such is life
And I don't want you to call me with "I kinda like this guy & I need your advice"
Nah, my pops would tell me shoot your shot
My boy says call for the ball and abuse the block
My past says you're a sucker for love
And you don't know how to pick 'em
So how is this gon' be different
But you are worth climbing over the walls that I've built
Breaking them down and using the bricks to build a kingdom we could lead in
Your beauty is obvious
The problem is your posture's more concerned with my heart than any art I can draw up
And look at me, writing this record
Tryna spite my perspective
That's kinda disrespectful
But the crazy part is when you call
And, I'm drawn to, how my spirit responds & honestly I'm alarmed
And everything's telling me wait
But the weight has my sneakers scraping pavement
And maybe I can't escape it
[Hook: Jonathan Baker]
Let me love
Let me love you, 'cause love is who I am
Let me love
Let me love you, 'cause love is who I am
[Verse 2: Armond Wakeup]
She told me she was scared
I expected it
I respect but lemme give some perspective
I have just as much to lose as you do
This ain't the usual
Normally I'd pursue you to do you
That's what I'm used to
But God impressed upon me that your precious
Perfected in imperfections
You are special
Created and reflected
In the image of our Lord & Protector
So protect her
Learn when to lead her, how to direct her and when to let her
When my phone buzz
I hope it's you
I'm pathetic
Every word I express leaves an impression
And I'm just tryna be me
Authentically
Realistically
Revealing the impotence that sits in me
As I dig in me
I'm convinced I'll reveal what is hidden in me and then you'll leave
Intimacy's been my enemy for some centuries
'Cause I've never seen it work
Divorce and discourse sits in my bloodline
One time in the air for the dream that is deeper than me sleeping with you
Let it awaken, & stem from what I think of you to thinking with you
Strategizing, fighting and compromising
With a resolve to honor God & let our options fly
Out of the sky, let it sit in the world I wanna give to you
It ain't much, but it's all I have
And let God make up the difference
Let God create persistence
Patience and realism
'Cause hey, this may be it
I'm finished
[Hook: Jonathan Baker]
Let me love
Let me love you, 'cause love is who I am
