To: You Got Me

First draft… running late but I wanted the core parts done

You Got Me

To: You Got Me

https://youtu.be/MJCHeEQV454

When I was half way asleep and I walked
You know your boys and how they love to stalk
But evidentially too many people talked
I’ll say it myself…
Friends were out of town and I never was alone a lot
But alone I went to the spot…
I had on a lavender mini and a matching bustier top
And when I was dancing a man went too far so I pushed him away and made him stop
I was in a trance and when I walked out the door
There was my man holding the arms of 2 more
I went home and the apartment was empty
Except my would be step brother was sleeping on my couch kinda heavy
He had tissues circled all about…
I could tell he was crying cause his step mom threw him out
I covered him up and went to bed
All that Santa Ria still dancing in my head
Who else knew shit was dead?

(Stop for chorus)

Another night I don’t remember too much
In fact I didn’t remember at all
Under siege who I crept to, to fall (fall asleep)
Years later he told me and I laugh
It was your cousin and It’s your families inside charm and how the magic used to do the math
Things were weird then too but I never had to worry
When shit got real off I’d go off to the cemetery
Hollins…
It was the first time I saw God and even though my sister said it all changed me
I never took it like I was scarred
But yeah it was hard… but
I believe it is his grace that led me back to you
I believe he forgiven just as reckless as you were and what it’d do
He wouldn’t let me miss you too

So I can trust you?

(Stop for chorus)

Along the way I learned to find comfort in lyrics
Then I began to tell it myself with my own spirits
Snake?
You’d never miss these eyes that being snake be true
But I don’t have any venom in my heart for you
Trust… it’s all true
I didn’t mean to talk and it wasn’t for a story to tell
More like I woke up and finally understand being under that spell
Always looking for love in all the wrong places
But look who held on in all these familiar faces
25 years a quarter century
But I believe you were heaven sent to me
I’m not playing the role of a chicken I’m speaking more now that I’m wise
But they held me down and that’s on the strength of angels wearing disguise

And I realized…

…. If you were worried about when….
