Lyrics

(from Genius.com) [Intro] Angela Yee: Do you believe in monogamy? Luke James: …..um... DJ Envy: *laughs* Luke: Do I believe in monogamy? Yes! You know what, when you find somebody that you love and that you truly care for and… and that person you can't live without, and y'all have a thing going on, yes Angela: --now, you might never find that, but *laughs* Charlamagne Tha God: I believe in polygamy, so I feel like, you know, for me to really really champion this polygamy cause, I gotta start with one Luke: I think you gotta have an understanding. I think it's all about an understanding. Now, if you locked down to that issue, then that's cool. Y'all in love and y'all love each other and it feels good every time, like the first time, then it's all good. But, sometimes you gotta mix it up. I think that's what being friends and having a relationship is all about Charlamagne: Word Angela: Hm... Envy: Ok… well, we definitely wish you the best-- Angela: --I don't really know if that was a direct answer, but I'll rock with it Charlamagne: I'm really glad I met Luke James Luke: I believe! I believe, I believe... Angela: Ok Luke: …I believe in everything. I believe in just being loveful. You know, just be-- Charlamagne: --lustful? Luke: Yeah, loveful Angela: "Loveful." Charlamagne: Oh, I thought he said "lustful." I said, "me too, I believe in being lustful, too." Luke: It's a term I got from Marvin Gaye, man. Just… you know… just be into whoever you into right then in the moment. You know? [Verse 1] Minnesota girl said "I'm Midwest like you" Said "I'm Midwest, it ain't nothin there. It's nothin I don't love you boy, it's nothin." I said "I'm Chi-Town, I'm somethin." "I don't love you boy. Just give me now We ain't cuffin up, just fuckin." It's the same sound when you turn it round It's the same word when you turn it round Then I turned her round, now her draws down Minnesota girl, with the horses Saddle up when I'm face-up When her face down, she was muhfuckin buckin Singin like Anita Baker, nigga, sweet love Baker, nigga, mouth full of muhfuckin muffin Sweet lust, nigga Love lust, tell me how they not the same word? She ain't never even heard of Anita Baker Probably what a nigga get fuckin with a white girl But she black just the only one up in the white world that she come from Probably what a nigga get when you fuckin with somebody that you can't relate to Now I'm fuckin on somebody that I can't relate to But when my generation ever gave a muhfuck about that? [Pre-Hook] See my first girl didn't love me back Vandross, I was hummin that And her knees down, she was lookin back, sayin "Serenade me, serenade me, baby, hurry Cause all our time here is runnin out, baby, hurry Love, lust, baby show me now Love, lust, baby show me now Love, lust, baby show me now It's the same word when you turn it round You ain't know me then, you can know me now Baby, only now Love, lust, baby show me now" [Hook] You ain't think I gave a fuck about you I knew too much, tell me: how could I never give a fuck about you? You gotta be bullshittin if you ever thought a nigga ever stopped thinkin bout you I ain't tryna get back with you, I just wanna let you know I give a fuck about you And I ain't never stop So you gotta be bullshittin if you ever say it ain't true [Post-Hook] And all of them words, but I don't want none of them back Though for all of them words, I never heard none of them back And if I ever said that I loved you I would be lyin So yeah that makes two But why does it feel like I got the blame for tryin? [Verse 2] And maybe when it comes down to it I was listenin to too many classics Thinkin the first person I fucked would have the same songs runnin they mind In the middle of the smashing I was virgin to the act I was so high, John Legend, cloud nine Like I'm on a rug, hella Persian, with a mixed girl Did it often, Weeknd Hit an old school: fucked up, caught feelings I ain't talkin bout the healing like I'm Marvin Whole world upside down, on the ceiling, Rose Royce, nigga Not seeing clearly, Stevie All I do is think about I was thinkin back Baby, you don't know none of the people I'm talkin bout And every lyric they was cryin out is everything I tried out with you Yes I mean love, yes I mean lust Yes I mean kissin it, how to touch in it How to rub in it, how to last in it If I had you up in the shakes and you ever asked who a nigga had in the past I'd probably laugh like "you know I ain't really tryna do nothin bold But I'mma just say the fantasies we grew up on Like new and old" She said "I never really get your jokes And so you probably gonna have show me about that" [Pre-Hook] [Hook] [Post-Hook]
