Love...
L-boogie and Kali Ranks in...
Talking about love
Your love is like the ocean
And I am like the sand
Responding to your power
A safe place for you to stand
But when the undercurrents come
And pull you out to sea
I'm left with shells and slippery rocks
Where you used to be
And when the sun comes beating down
And burns my body dry
It's hard to wait until the tide
To quench my thirst so I cry
I cry
Cry, cry
And then at last
The sun goes down
And bleeds into your sea
And I can feel your desperate hands all over me
All over me
I dream of you
When I, know, surely, surely
You are hurting me and you said that you wouldn't
You promised me you wouldn't, you wouldn't
And I said I'd be with you
And now I know I couldn't
And I knew I couldn't
Smooth like that
This is how we bust
Rhmyes on a phat track
Me and Kali, female refugee
We get down like that
I don't know what to sing
So my artistry brings
Things from off the top of my head
I bust freestyles instead
Of memories of the time when I was free...
