Quick Relationship Rhyme


You had me really scared and disappointed But we're passed that Our relationships got ups and downs Like the NASDAQ Late nights when no one else would You'd let me crash at The crib throwing fibs to those Who would ask where my ass at Lately the relationship Got me fiending for Prozac I wish to have have dirt on me As I lay in a casket Here lies the young man Who had an asthma attack The kid, left behind his lady She tried to jump in with him, man Our situations got me losing sedation The frequency of fussing and fucking in different equations Cause one going up and the other lowering the quota On God, every night I'll be hard, yet give you the cold shoulder You're supposed to ride and die for me like a soldier Go to war for me and build together like business partners But you're stealing from the employees and loan sharking I can give a few bones here and there to stop the barking But the late heart is quieting from this promethazine Senses of selves and esteem are made of green Maybe that's true, but for you, and not me Cause if I'm telling the truth I don't need the money I just want to lay back and put a seed in your tummy Watch the wind blow the branches of the family tree running From me and you and you to me, It's together and the proposition is frightening But hold steadfastly onto me, and we'll make it through the rainy days properly Because I am for you and you are for me There are no side shows we are what we seem The outside appearances don't put the inside on display Because the only deep feelings felt are when we're apart babe But I envision more than that, way past the snakes and the rats We must fly up and remain intact, even if you're drinking from the bats Cause you know I'm not for it but that's your personality I like to chill, write, and read: you like to be out partying With ya homies and ya girlfriends playing pretend Like they really looking out, I never believed them, man But you'll just keep juking me while I give the 3rd degree Feeling like you wouldn't scream if someone murdered me You just look at me like you never heard of me Even on the day of our 3rd anniversary Worthy adversary as my heart starts hurting The truth is I'm losing hope rather rapidly from sparring Fear is in my heart and mind and moving faster, B Knowing that one day we'll come to be a tragedy A casualty of known causes of man But lord knows I'm too proud to pray to him So one time for you baby and two times for me Three times for you baby and one time for me I realize we'll never divide this thing evenly So I'll let you hold the bigger piece if we can keep some peace The war keeps brewing and the guns keep shooting We never stop even though we both know we're losing Amazing, cause I'm gasping, for air I can't breathe Dying of thirst but you no longer flow from the canteen Doing the things you want causing some flying sparks Shooting randomly every way making lines of chalk Who would've ever thought we'd meet in the dark Maybe we can fix things if we have a talk But I'm feeling kind of off the convo is kind of lost Being together is proving to come at too high of a cost That's me looking outwardly inward at the thing I just want to hold you and be done with drama, word to mama I want to treat with honor and respect ya not haunt ya But everything I do seems like a bother Like I'm asking too much when asking you whats 2+2? You reply with twenty-two making things harder between us, too Amazing, cause I'm gasping for air, I can't breath Dying of thirst but you no longer flow from the canteen I wish to have dirt on me As I lay in a casket Here lies the young man Who had an asthma attack, kid She tried to jump in with him, man... She tried to jump in with him, man...
