about

This song is the anti-Pitbull. It's a hip-hop song about being broke and vulnerable.

lyrics

--Chorus--
Love is cool but it aint hip
Like a voyeur's view of an acid trip
I'm tryin' to play it cool so I ease my grip
When I see you my heart it, heart it, heart it's
So scared to compare it to the greats
When you say yes, I hesitate
When I see you I get lost
Of course I worry there's a cost
That's why I put this bottle in front of me
'Cause if you leave I'll need a frontal lobotomy

--Verse (Anthony)--
Enough about the heart 'cause that's a nonstarter
Give over to the pebble that's in my pause
I'm tryin' to find a ring that fit's your finger
Your hands are little but they're still to large
Gee baby if I could only learn to rap
I'd cover my expenses and close the gap
Give you all the things that you are do
Gee baby aint I good to you

When I was a little baby just two years ago
I didn't ever think about makin' doh
Now all that I dream about is gettin' bread
But I appear to be gluten intolerant
Hollerin' dreams about CEO schemes
First world problems in this economy
I got more envy than names in Deuteronomy
Eat a lot of vegetables but its jealousy that's drownin' me
You're clownin' me 'cause my rap is sap and not
Self promoting smackin' on the butt-cheeks of Al Capone
With suits of lime green, so fresh and so clean,
But he never knew true love
Like I have seen

--Verse (Ed)--
True love is incessant
Takes time to find such deep things so damn pleasant
It's impressive. Sometimes it gets aggressive.
Grabs you by the balls and hands out directives
And love's and investment
Dividends yes but risk is quite pressing
No one ever told me that this thing would be easy
But it's often that I'm shocked by the challenges believe me
I can tell though its just so damned worth while
Walkin' the baby steps from first kiss to first child
Put in the effort and the payoff is surprising
Overwhelming delicious and tantalizing
I find that loves quite insistent
You listen to your heart or else you'll miss what you're missing
But true bliss and sweet kissin' aside
Can't Plumb the depths you contain 'til you burst through your pride

--Chorus--
(Repeat)
