I just wanted a flower
_____
Wasn't one or two, just love
_____
The scam's right there and I already fell
I survived on your crumbs
_____
Sorry if I don't tip my hat
_____
But biting the pillow, crying, I took you to heaven
_____
Years straightening my afro to fit your mold
_____
Just to learn you only wanted ass from day one
_____
Didn't even invite me to a candlelit dinner
_____
And on the app you pointed me to an alley
_____
It's not easy to talk about love
_____
When on your path you only get thorns
_____
To have more than one night of secret love
_____
It's not easy to talk about love
_____
When on your path you only get thorns
_____
To have more than one night in my lord's bed
_____
Honestly I wanted to be a talisman
_____
Sing about the blanket, about breakfast
_____
But in reality you're never in the mood
_____
You just wanna taste my inches in secret
_____
Years straightening my afro to fit your mold
_____
Just to learn you only wanted ass from day one
_____
Didn't even invite me to a candlelit dinner
_____
And on the app you pointed me to an alley
_____
That a black man will be reborn
_____
When he really gets the vision
_____
That this country grew, stole my very self
_____
It did it at the cost of slavery
_____
It's not easy to talk about love
_____
When on your path you only get thorns
_____
To have more than one night of secret love
_____
It's not easy to talk about love
_____
When on your path you only get thorns
_____
To have more than one night in my lord's bed
_____
It's not easy to talk about love
_____
When on your path you only get thorns
_____
To have more than one night of secret love
_____
It's not easy to talk about love
_____
When on your path you only get thorns
_____
To have more than one night in my lord's bed
