| I am so in love with him sometimes I pretend that's all we need As if a relationship consists of nothing else Or the argument is over if he concedes I ask, "What is your agenda here, and what are you doing to keep me?" He says, "I never had an agenda here, And I never said I could handle this quite frankly." So many fierce people I know Can't see the forest through the trees Thinking the way they look is the way they feel And the way they feel is all they need I ask, "Do you honestly enjoy playing those games The ones of those reindeer femmes?" He says, "There are some fierce black queens out there and quite frankly I am one of them." There was a time nothing needed to be a debate There was a time I didn't need to define my hate There was a time I was not consumed by my weight There was a time I was unaware of fate Or the unwitting circumstance of vertigo So far away there's no other way to go But down So far away from where we came from Need some love where can I get some He likes the poetry of my dissention As if I were trying to rhyme He misunderstands my intentions I'm after the grapes not the wine I say, "You don't really love me, You just admire what I do." He says, "Tell me what the difference is, maybe I am wasting my time with you." We are all hungry, lost and searching Trying to find a home we never had I get that sometimes I'm your mother I get that sometimes I'm your dad I ask, "What is the point if that is the case? You wanted me on a platter, how do I taste?" "Like chicken," he says, "but not nearly as dry, I wanted you to be my family, stop asking me why" In all this time trying to circumvent contention In all this time became the king of ego deprecation In all this time trying to avoid miscalculation In all this time working against stereotype convention and the unwitting circumstance of vertigo So far away there's no other way to go But down So far away from where we came from Need some love where can I get some The air's so thin away from the umbilical We become capitalists, we become biblical We believe we deserve what our soldiers fight for Like an apple who believes he's the only one with a core We're up, we're off to another sky high scheme More money to be had, more booty to be seen Down below the people look like ants and roaches To high believe their hearts can still be broken But I try to keep up, keep high Keep clean, keep going The world doesn't slow down for you Just because it's snowing I say, "You are an attractive young dude. Can I get you some coffee or another beverage?" He says, "I'm into white men only it's not a prejudice just a preference." So this time the paranoid is being chased So this time I need to define my hate So this time you go ahead and deny your face But sometime you're going to trip over or own race And the unwitting circumstance of vertigo So far away there's no other way to go But down So far away from where we came from Need some love where can we get some the unwitting circumstance of vertigo So far away there's no other way to go But down Either fast or slow, gravity works just the same Either fast or slow, gravity works just the same Either fast or slow, gravity works just the same |
