ZEKERI JOSHUA - X lyrics

[INTRO:] From flesh up into glory Some stories of cemeteries I know ‘bout shadows that shifting Stories told if you don't know me Battles fought, some wars lost Kingdoms too, love's cost The prelude to glory, beginning and the end [VERSE 1:] Mom watching vigilantly I called her vigilante “Where you at?”, “where you been?” That ain't care if she ask me Pops was a preacher man Prior to that been a teacher man I felt the life I lived they ain't teach me You ain't never teach that man Pops taught that mathematics Which I thought was hardly magic Least I learned “X'' is a variable I hardly gat it Home had that “X” factor, maybe we could factorize The varying degrees it burned with hell I know my math is matic Re-emphasizing the fact that my math is poor Thanks to Sound Sultan for a cla**ic I can sing along Still my curiosity ‘bout how a variable Flows from a constant “K” of course Seems like you build to destroy I ain't mean to bore you with my failing maths of a life I was told love was the only constant Which you needed in life When you thinking you done found it You cherishing what you finding Math is playing in the background You ain't know that you just found ex First texting “I miss you” The first time love had kissed you Those arms that wrapped around you Swore they only gon' please you Now you did things that ain't please you Cos you said “I wan' please you” Then she said “I hate my exes” Now love is starting to diss you, huh? What's the problem? Bad mathematics Feelings is fickle, they never been a constant habit [VERSE 2:] You think love is roses you don't know Jack And you might be sinking Or love is spinning and making you dizzy You might be drinking Oh oh, we done broke up Sleeping dogs (dawgs) all now we done woke up Hanging at each other's throats Hate trying to choke us Elevated emotions done got your hopes up Been sober ‘fore love drunk Drunk in love had me tipsy on a love song Love sung to a lover when that wine is love strong Wondering why they comparing feelings to some Strong rum? Cos that hang-over forever don't last She brought a headache when the feelings pa**ed We swore forever last week and half The same problem different effect I can guess the reason why you always called the “ex” Cos the feelings of a man are inconsistent [VERSE 3:] Back to the point, well I ended up the ex Least I can say it's better than when you ain't even the ex You ain't even know what this is But then tell everyone “we friends” You ain't even know what need you'd be used to satisfy next Sex don't equate love, but it's the only constant feeling Like a DJ scratching her itching Purity stained on ‘em bed sheets Or else my banks is empty This kind of relationship ain't profit You could fool yourself saying love ain't investment That's to gain profit But at least you gaining something That makes you think “Worth it” ain't perfect This ain't worthy I can't think of a perfecter way to word it I been knew ‘bout shifting shadows I'm the shadow at night Cos the only time I had your attention Was in the shadows of night Plus I ain't want my boys to see me The deception wasn't easy False personality like a double I knew how much they believed me Believe me, those times had greatly told on my commitment Surely getting attraction to walk distraction Wouldn't be something easy Now I'm here talking ‘bout writing you a song When I know you don't even care ‘bout me writing you a song But still I'm hoping somehow you finna be singing along But by the time I was done with “Make Me Go” Choc had been far gone Shepherds missing sheep's scattered What you missing? Don't it matter that you looking to find what you had Hardening you heart to what you will find? You won me for losses Life of goddamn bosses Just so you got this “X's” variables for life Only one constant is Christ That's the constant K that I find
