Kai Akili, Alyssa Monique - Will You Ever Know? Lyrics

She passed me in the gardens in my freshman year
I'm choking up
I put the blame on my neglected years
Hoping she folding I noticed her from a mile away
My head is heavy approaching her like
What will I say cause
What can I say to a woman that drips of a beauty
I promise you it's confusing
I really wish that she knew me, uh
She moves with grace
Do I tell her about her elegance
Maybe she'll love it if I mention that she's heaven sent
As I get closer I'm noticing that she notice me
I saw the pain all in her eyes before she got to speak
She's an angel, the devil just came and clipped her wings
A pretty siren been silenced before I heard her sing, now
Now as I contemplate I started walking slower
Cause something caught her eye
Another guy is walking over now
She faked a smile
His arm is on her shoulder
My confidence diminished
Swear I saw us growing older but, umm
See y'all together, yeah it start to make some sense
That's why you cake ya make up, baby girl
I am convinced
Concealing poor foundation every time he takes a hit
I tell you that you're beautiful without it
Picture this
We tie the knot by the Nile
Get you a ring that's almost just as radiant as your smile
And while I'm steady writing verses in cursive
About me running some game
I see that you don't even know my name
Damn

Baby tell me is it worth it
You been tryna change him for a minute
Is it working
All that love is superficial, girl
I know you hurting
You need a man to show you
That you serve a higher purpose
I wanna know
Tell me is it worth it
You been trying to change him for a minute
Is it working
All that love is superficial, girl
You know you hurting
You need a man to show you
That you serve a higher purpose
I wanna know

Will you ever know me, ay
Will you ever know my name, my name
Will you ever know me, ay
Will you ever know my name, my name
Will you ever know me, ay
Will you ever know my name
Will you ever know me
Will you ever know

Baby tell me is it worth it
You been tryna change him for a minute
Is it working
All that love is superficial, girl
I know you hurting
You need a man to show you
That you serve a higher purpose
I wanna know
Tell me is it worth it
You been trying to change him for a minute
Is it working
All that love is superficial, girl
I know you hurting
You need a man to show you
That you serve a higher purpose
I wanna know

Will you ever, ever know my name
Will you ever, ever know my name
Will you ever, ever know my name
Will you ever, will you ever know
