Wasn't one or two, just love
The scam's right there and I already fell
I survived on your crumbs
Sorry if I don't tip my hat
But biting the pillow, crying, I took you to heaven
Years straightening my afro to fit your mold
Just to learn you only wanted ass from day one
Didn't even invite me to a candlelit dinner
And on the app you pointed me to an alley
It's not easy to talk about love
When on your path you only get thorns
To have more than one night of secret love
It's not easy to talk about love
When on your path you only get thorns
To have more than one night in my lord's bed
Honestly I wanted to be a talisman
Sing about the blanket, about breakfast
But in reality you're never in the mood
You just wanna taste my inches in secret
Years straightening my afro to fit your mold
Just to learn you only wanted ass from day one
Didn't even invite me to a candlelit dinner
And on the app you pointed me to an alley
That a black man will be reborn
When he really gets the vision
That this country grew, stole my very self
It did it at the cost of slavery
It's not easy to talk about love
When on your path you only get thorns
To have more than one night of secret love
It's not easy to talk about love
When on your path you only get thorns
To have more than one night in my lord's bed
It's not easy to talk about love
When on your path you only get thorns
To have more than one night of secret love
It's not easy to talk about love
When on your path you only get thorns
To have more than one night in my lord's bed
