Between Me, You and Liberation

Verse 1 (Common)

She rested her head upon my chest

Since liberation in between breaths

Wonder if sex is what she found it in

Peace, found it layin down with men

Wasn't there to judge her,in many ways I loved her

It was more than bodies we shared with each other

We laid under the cover of friends

A place where many lovers begin

I began, to feel her body shake in my hand

Body language, it's so hard tryin to understand

Usually after sex, it's a good feel

Took by silence, emotions stood still

You could feel her tears spill, from her grill

Hurt from before that beginning to build

She told me hold me, stories she assemblin

Tellin it, tryin not to remember it

It was a story of innocence taken

Thought she could redeem, through love makin

When she was 8 she was raped by her father

And tried to escape through multiple sex partners

Felt pitiful she had only learned

To love through the physical, inside it burned

A hard t?, I thought of what this man did

She forgave him, she grew to understand it

Her soul was tied and never really rested

Only knew men through aggression

Said it was a blessin and it happened for a reason by speakin it

She found freedom

Between me and you, between me and you, (repeat)

Chorus (Cee-Lo)

Sometimes I wish I, ?

S? her, without speaking a word

Because of you I'm stronger, I'm afraid of no longer

I feel so ?, you helped liberate me, me, me (repeat)

Verse 2 (Common)

As she laid I watched her breathe

Happy to be here, not affraid to leave

I couldn't concieve her not being here

Death in her face, her not having fear

Less than a year she was diagnosed with it

Memories of that year, so close and vivid

Happiness would only visit, once in a while

To watch an adult, becomin a child

Somehow, I knew she'd make it

The life of one, so early would God take it?

Heard she placed it hope and care

Heard she placed in chemo and lost hair

I stared with my eyes closed

I wondered when the body leaves does the mind go

Watchin Jordan became less important

Seein this disease eat away my aunt's organs

Accordin to doctor's there is no cure

We went through doubt, and cases of insure

Wish I knew then how to heal with herbs

Knew a part of her I could heal with words

But the creator was ?ful

What seemed like the end was the beginning for her

Like that, she didn't want us to remember her

No more medication did she want us to give to her

It spread from her liver to her lungs to her last breath

Only to be freed through death, between me and you, (repeat)

Chorus (Cee-Lo)

Verse 3 (Common)

He spoke with his eyes tear filled

A lump in his throat as fear build

My whole life it was instilled

This ain't the way that men feel

A feelin he said he wish he could kill

A feelin not even time could heal

This is how real life's supposed to be?

For it to happen to someone close to me?

So far we've come, for him to tell me

As he did, insecurity held me

I felt like he failed me

'Till his spirit yelled help me

I've known him for like what seemed forever

About goin pro we dreamed together

Never knew it would turn out like this

For so long he tried to fight this

Now there was no way for him to ignore it

His parents found out, and hated him for it

How could I judge him?

Had to accept him if I truely loved him

No longer he said had he hated himself

Through sexuality he liberated himself

Between me and you, between me and you (repeat)
