Pardon me
might I have a moment?
Mr. Aloof
to bring light
to that which
you seem
unable to see?
I ain't knockin that
you dig her
and you dig me
thing is though
I know who I be
and she
(me)
ain't a sideline
wait while you figure it out
type chic
no matter how
bright the future that could be
might be in what I see
so if truly
you see not where
the lack of lines drawn
are cause for
coloring outside
the lines of my time
at this stage in my life
but I ain't built
for nothing but being a wife -
anything less
leads to a lot of mess
that I don't need
I got enough stress
and it ain't in my nature
to press
I just refuse to digress
who I am is this woman
this life I offer
isn't the only one
that you could have
but is if you want it with me
and time is running out
for you to be evaluating
and see
this is my page
either stand beside me
on this stage
or exit to the right
thank you
cause I've done
all that I can do
standing firm on
will give no more
until I begin to get
some reciprocation
in return
for my dedication
to this that is
our time
what you up to
ain't a crime
just has no scheme
that fits the rhythm
of my rhyme
so...what will it be?
you either gonna get it right
or you gonna be excused
from the company of me
would say sorry
but that's the way
these things be
there be no gray areas
to navigate in this
and if I have to let you go
trust - you will be missed
while preserved
in the memory of our last kiss
however long ago it shall
turn out to be
but baby
I don't ride benches
waiting to get in games
I start or I trade teams
perhaps -
you should ask a friend
about me?
