II. Shadows Lyrics

(Uh oh)
Mmm-mmm, Mmm-mmm
She said, she said
Love me better, kiss me back, listen more oh (she said, she said)
Love me better, kiss me back, listen more
Love me better, kiss me back, listen more
Yeah, no, no, no (she said, yeah okay, uh)

Face down in the brown grass (no)
Shame shame on my brown ass (oh lord)
Birds in the trees as we run through
And if I'm dead to the world, what you gon' do? What you gon' do?
Like, (I can't remember)
Shots fired, rewind, please, girl, be mine
Email denied, talk to me baby
Before I go crazy, might do it maybe
We were so Jay Z & Beyonce, my aunt say "keep the sex game picante"
The Aunt May and Mary Jane that I was hitting on
We were trying to forget that there was something wrong
Love is Russian roulette, I had the safety on
We popped pills at the Coachella
Hold my head in the weeds, man I can't tell her
The fear that I feel man it might kill her
Man, it might kill her, it's the prep school mic killa'
With the drums and the groove so it feel Dilla
I don't care what he say
I'ma get my platinum back like I'm a half ton gorilla
You can hang with homie on the low
But your boy so weak like a week ago
But we ain't speaking though

Tuesday afternoon, I ain't got shit to do
But fall in love with you (she said, she said, she said)
Tuesday afternoon, I ain't got shit to do
But fall in love with you (she said, she said, she said)

She said, love me better, kiss me back, listen more, oh (she said, she said, she said)
She said, love me better, kiss me back, listen more

The attitude
The attitude
And I hope you understand, and I hope you understand
We were never friends
And I hope you understand now
But I miss them
Oh no no no
And I hope you understand
And I hope you understand
Gonna get your love
I'm gonna get your love
And I hope you understand
I'm gonna get your, ohh
And I hope you understand
And I hope you understand
And I hope you understand
