[Hook] Bound to falling in love Bound to falling in love (Uh-huh, honey) [Verse 1 - Shad] Celebration, getting pounds from the posse Cliff found Claire and she down for the cause, b No ice, she still bound to a cross, b Bound, no humping around, Bobby Dawg, these heads hate it, they want the sound of Mobb Deep But these are happy days, sound of Fonzie Hol' up, I'm not crowning a prom queen Or giving my name throwing rice out, Condie As we walk out, post-tying that knot Dreaded wedded life is a thought, thought she blocked me Scared of an Erykah rappers stuck on the thought, she might Bad do me wrong, but baby you know you got me That's just some stupid stuff that dudes think Half the time y'all probably wonder if dudes think Put us all in a room, see how dudes think It's worse than groupthink, even worse than how that room stink She'll have you in that IKEA looking at new sinks Like "Honey, is this top like pink, or is it like too pink?" Would you believe at this age that I'm still learning? Would you believe after so long that I'm still hurting? On the stage we make magic but the real Earvin Just a real person, BOW, still searching [Bridge 1: Charlie Wilson] I know you're tired of loving, of loving With nobody to love, nobody, no (Uh-huh, honey) [Verse 2 - Shad] Brothers like drama, word to Doug Ford, some brothers like Drama, got their whole entourage in an uproar
I'm just trying to keep things above board, so shorty can Trust more, peace, I'm not a con or a drug lord And I'm not a Chuck Norris, your man's not a fan of the bloodsport But Van Damme we fighting, cuz love's war It cuts deep, of course, there's no gloves worn So if a fist's got a ring on it, it hurts much more So they say, get trained to expect pain At times it's less playing catch, more X-Games So expect some bruised pride and some sweat stains Learning how to accept blame and how to accept change Instead of stressing 'till you burst out your neck veins Look down the road, from the shoulder, to the left lane See the danger trying to pa**, when the test came Thought it would be like some exam; was an essay Less righting wrongs, always writing that next page Staying up all night, fighting 'till next day Watch the sunrise lighten up, best way Love brightens what's within us like an X-Ray Vision, yo I'm thinking this is what it all comes down to Staying down to earth with some good turf to ground you Cuz you become like the people that surround you We free the ones we love, and we love the ones we're bound to [Bridge 2: Charlie Wilson] I know you're tired of loving, of loving With nobody to love, nobody, nobody Just grab somebody, no leaving this party With nobody to love, nobody, nobody (Uh-huh, honey) [Instrumental Interlude]
