I just want you to know


I had told her I like her particulars,

Turned out she was waiting for me to say hi

‘You bold enough to make me change my plans?’

In mind I thought she was in need of a real plan

But my broke ass had no guts to play cool

So my smart ass boldly created a ghost plan

‘We either smash or Bang’ and I went bhang!

That was only to validate the plan

‘You & Me. A car, we can’t afford….

Let’s hit the road’

‘So you want to try out that romantic shit?’

‘No, I want you to spend coz you can’t drift,

Let’s say a pre party in an out of town location,

Spend all we got…’ Damn! She said | Spend |

‘Bitch all that just to show your particulars?’

‘Nuh! To smash and bang them in particular’

What if I can’t spend all I’ve got?

‘Nigga, You saving for your funeral?’

See, I have a lovely wife and a baby boy

And I love them so much to go broke on ‘em

‘So why are we even having this conversation’

You’ve been staring. Congratulations

You’ve got my attention. “Attention?”

I just wanted you to know
