Like Smoke

The lyric stays readable and compact here; the note and related paths sit nearby so you do not lose the song while looking for context.

I never wanted you to be my man

I just need your company

Don't want to get dependent on

Your time or who you spend it on

Or lose the way you love me

Like smoke

I hung around in the unbalanced

Woah, oh

It's not a movie, this is not a script to proofread

I'll spit some untruths to dumb fools and groupies

Tryna punctuate the funds I make amounts I take

Put in your face oh, my mistake

You're not a floozy? Then excuse me

Before I talk, my style introduced me

Get your name and phone number like 1-2-3

Y'all know the story, y'all know the commentary

I kick the narrative, this is legendary

The good Samaritan, good thespian

Like a polygamist, with a twist

Will I marry again? Maybe, I guess

I hold a lady's interest, I just met

The love scholar, she the teacher's pet

Every other eve we'd meet and make each other sweat

I feel triumph with no strings

Just a fling to have fun with

I be out in London, Camden

Huntin' for the answers, why did God take away the homie?

I can't stand it

I'm a firm believer that we all meet up in eternity

Just hope the big man show me some courtesy

Why? 'Cause I'm deemed a heartbreaker

Like smoke, girls linger 'round a player

Yeah-yuh

I never wanted you to be my man

I just need your company

Don't want to get dependent on

Your time or who you spend it on

Or lose the way you love me

Like smoke

I hung around in the unbalanced

Woah, oh

Yo, this recession is a test

It's affecting my complexion

Misdirecting my affection

My concerns of bill collections

The facts is the taxes, they after me

Chapter three, my property

My handlers, they dealt with me improperly

I say some things I should probably keep privately

Evaluate the world bank trusts like I'm IEG

This fly sweet bourgeoisie

Tall freak, she wouldn't protest with me at Wall Street

She says, no you're so deep

I said, no let's go thru it

Historically so ruthless feds came for Joe Lewis

She said, my man you needs to laugh sometime

Classifies me as a bore, I told her have some wine

You colder than penguin pussy at her her dismay

She's thinkin' that's just so silly to say

But if you really think about it hussy

See a penguin, he drags his ass on the ground all day

And there's a drag

And it's a bust and you're in tune with just lust

I'm thru with you after I crush, so is that humorous enough?

The smoke I puff

Tell the car to go to Aura, Funky Buddah, Whiskey Mist

On Mayfair

I hope I meet some Monie Loves so she can show me love

NYC to UK I might stay there

Everybody in the club tonight say, "Yeah"

You know how me and Amy are, straight players

Ohh, ohh, ooooohh, ohh

I never wanted you to be my man

I just need your company

Don't want to get dependent on

Your time or who you spend it on

Or lose the way you love me

Like smoke

I hung around in the unbalanced

Woah, oh
