[Verse 1: L-Soul]
Been thinking about you for 18 years
I'm a breeze in your life but my name ain't Sameer
Land ma** barriers separate our areas
Weight on your chest but I could still carry ya
Watch you from afar till the day I marry ya
Showing you a new world call it Aquaria
Love is sickness kind of like Malaria
Food to ya soul, I could William Perry ya
Can't speak your language let me go learn
And I'mma love you till my body's in an urn
One day left to tell you how I feel
Swimming through your daily thoughts that's Bay Area appeal
What is love without bringing in some pain
What is taking risk without giving up your shame
That is what they call a life unlived
That's when you got a wife you didn't even pick
Choose a life arranged and live it the same
As everyone does in my subcontinent
Living like we still slaves to the British parliament
My own people telling me our love is taboo
But then they go and have babies six women through
What, so our love ain't true?
Forget my heritage, forget my country
Cause biracial love is truer than adultery
[Hook: L-Soul]
Growing up we lose purity
Age is not emotional immunity
Love will save us from our pain
Love is fragile like cells in the brain
And I'll keep fighting, till I made it
Then we'll bring back, the dreams that have faded
Growing up we lose purity
Age is not emotional immunity
Love will save us from our pain
Love is fragile like cells in the brain
And I'll keep fighting, till I made it
Then we'll bring back, the dreams that have faded
[Verse 2: Scoob]
Feels like yesterday, clearly I can reminisce
A partial time where all intention and energy spent
Around that timing I was hardly considered a gent
Some people took a look and asked where my cla** went
It's not even a school trip, didn't happen quick
How did I change to "Mr. love you" from Best of the Slick?
We get together it's official the month of the sixth
So damn inseparable our bond had a magnetic stick
It was perfect we deserved it looking at our past
Some others saw it but to me we were not moving fast
The way I felt, I told myself "man it was meant to last"
Not did I once believe her age and my fam would clash
Grams disapproved, so confused all through the summer
She said our love can bring a felony, now that's a bummer
But see my heart keeps telling me it's nothing but a number
Only a couple years, "who the hell would really wonder?"
She keeps on lecturing, it's through one ear and out the other
I will not take it so I leave, seeking baby's cover
Nana's persistent so she visits her grams and her mother
Tells em both that her daughters or grandchild's love em
They said they know the scene, she said "but he's eighteen"
She says so now it's time for ya'll to do the right thing
f** a status now the moral is "I used my heart"
To make sure not even family could tear us apart
