Mick Jenkins - Strange Love Lyrics

Was never here to lessen your glow
I wanna see it intensified
I wanna see my niggas learning lessons and attempting to grow
I see my cousin whip get hit from the side, they swiss cheesed it
In a swift moment most niggas would misread it as well
When your dealings aren't as well as you've been meaning to tell
Can't tell me nothing fam, I've seen it myself
Walked away from niggas needed my help
I mean how I'ma give you what clearly still need for myself?
Underwater tryna breathe for myself
Going deep so the pressure is massive
Really tryna be a saint, but I ain't Drew Brees I've never been that passive
Always been this pensive
Niggas claiming that I'm changing 'cause my clothes ain't always been expensive
Always been eccentric
Never been as fake as when it came to extensions
The pogos always been extensive
See this story hasn't yet been stenciled
Or adapted to some whack ass Tyler Perry minstrel movie
I detest the pretentious bougie
Motherfuckers whose presence I digest like meat
I'm vegetarian let's digress to some shit that move me
Tell shawty if we kick it then I'm just like Kango
Girl I'm at your kufi
Introspective questions, hope you ain't no goofy
What you think about the black man?
Tell me what you know about love
Ain't no right or wrong answer
I just know we could deeper it's a story, every stanza
Gotta speak in allegory, spread love the new mantra
It's the healing component, it's the healing component
It's the life or the evils like a fucking petronis
Standing banded with my brothers, black Nicholas Jonas
Fuck my last name them hoes used to own us
No weapon formed against me, please don't even walk up on us
Dunkin Donuts in my coffee 'cause I been smoked the Folger's
I just walked in on you bitch, smell the doja
What's the basis? All these racist motherfuckers out here raping the culture
On the low it's of keys, they sew in hate for ourselves then probate
To kill and appropriate, they vultures
Ain't immune to reproach
Have your fucking hands up if you choose to approach us
Fuck around with the fuck around, we still might shoot

Dr. Strangelove
We claim that we love our sisters
That's some strange love, Dr. Strangelove
We claim that we love ourselves
That's some strange love, Dr. Strangelove
Don't go insane now, no shit's insane love
I feel your strange love
We claim that we love our sisters
That's some strange love, Dr. Strangelove
We claim that we love ourselves
That's some strange love, Dr. Strangelove
Don't go insane now, no shit's insane love
I feel your strange love

So please don't lose the love
So please don't lose the love
Don't fade away, don't fade away, don't fade away
Don't fade away, don't fade away, don't fade away

How could a black man not be confused in this?
Used to hang from them trees, we abusing them now
Sons and our daughters used to follow in the footsteps of our fathers
But we losing them now
On our own seen the lack I wanna blues for him
How society not bruise your mental?
Both claim Jesus, we Jews and Gentiles
I cruise at two miles an hour
I hope everybody get to see the love

So please don't lose the love
So please don't lose the love
Don't fade away, don't fade away, don't fade away
Don't fade away, don't fade away, don't fade away

Dr-dr-dr Strangelove
We claim that we love ourselves
That's some strange love, Dr. Strangelove
Don't go insane now, no shit's insane love, no shit's insane
Dr-dr-dr Strangelove
We claim that we, that's some strange
We claim that we love ourselves
