[Intro:SOC]
Yeah I feel you fam … it's hard out here man, sifting through these weeds to try and find that flower – I know. You get caught up too. I'll tell your story, I got you
[Hook:SOC]
Eyes wide open, ain't seen it yet
Time's ticking and I'm thinking – “where she at?”
A swing and a miss. See you can line ‘em up
Keep on trying but can't find the one (to be mine)
Just want one girl to be mine / Only one to be mine
But ‘till then girl you can be mine / But only ‘till I find the one to be mine
[Verse 1:SOC] – Good Intentions
Yeah – so now I'm pushing thirty
Times pa**es, I'm still searching
Never into rushing kind of in a hurry
It's like the same convo I keep on conversing
What you do, and where you from, and where you working?
You know them other code words for what you earning?
I'm not nervous, but small talk worth it?
Ever married? Got kids? You know the standard version
How many times your heart been broken while you searching
A 2-step kind of girl or do you like to twerk it?
This dating getting old – I'm done with flirting
This faith and wait thing quite simply ain't working
You see I'm trying to – but yo I'm sick of waiting
And all I hear is Genesis 2:18
He said it's not good that man be alone
And though I'm ready – I don't foresee it homes (I got my)
[Hook:SOC]
[Verse 2:SOC]
I see the perfect storm brewing, we both are impatient
It's been a little while and we both tired of waiting
And since it's been bleak I intend to make it useful
Especially if the past paths indicate the future
She shows a playful smile I give a glance of interest
And all the signals pointing to her welcoming an intimate
Type of interaction … ain't no coincidence
I play along – this game – girl I'm thinking ‘Girl I invented this!'
Yeah I know better, but see it's fun to play
A two train crash course – can't turn away
“Unstoppable” – call me Denzel baby
She takes another sip, fam this female's crazy
Now she ready to leave
She clutch her bag and she say that she coming with me
And what am I supposed to do? – she got me anticipating
I'm telling you – the things we do when we sick of waiting
[Hook:SOC]
[Verse 3:SOC]
See eventually, she'll reveal the big misses
They all want a bad boy – ‘86 Pistons
Or a Sean Combs image (take that, take that
Clearly I ain't found her yet it's been slim pickings
I'm on that soul mate lookout, I haven't noticed her
And by now I'm sure she already spoken for
But then I guess that'd be utopia
And if not that, something close to it I'm hoping for
Where them single ladies at? That's where I'm focusing
And yeah I hear you, at the church or the grocery
But odds are they at the club, where I'm supposed to be
Where they might “Come and Talk to Me” – Jodeci
But in the meantime I figure ‘till I see her
I'll continue messing with these in-betweeners
But as I listen to myself am I this creature?
Truth is I never learned with substitute teachers
See, what was a short term fixing
Out of nowhere becomes boy live with me
Or worse – outside His will or pregnancy
Say Word “word” Word work wit me
[Bridge:SOC]
I mean since we ain't met her don't mean that we don't persist
I mean we can't see God don't mean that He don't exist
For Adam Eve was the helper fit for him
Quite simply I'm trying to find the right forum (to keep my)
[Hook:SOC]
