This Girl I Know - Oddisee[00:00:00]
I got a lover but it's complicated[00:00:11]
We've been off and on trying to keep the fire warm[00:00:13]
But a brother jaded[00:00:15]
I've even moved up to brooklyn so that we could bond[00:00:16]
Feel like I see her even less then when I lived away and[00:00:18]
Suffocated by the city she ain't ever home[00:00:21]
She in la or any other place that ain't my arms[00:00:23]
Can't say she cheating because she was never mine alone[00:00:26]
I just think I'm better for her than the drug dealers and the lie tellers[00:00:29]
Yeah am I wise but I could be wrong[00:00:32]
Please don't let be[00:00:34]
I gave her time and a half while others get her free[00:00:35]
And I ain't one to compare but what I see[00:00:37]
Is her in a lesser form with anybody instead of me[00:00:39]
We on a different page same play different stage[00:00:42]
Waited on the street to say hi[00:00:45]
I must have missed the wave await her call to come by[00:00:46]
I know this girl around town[00:00:49]
She cool she cool she cool[00:00:50]
She coming around round[00:00:53]
When no one around round[00:00:54]
She come through come through she come through[00:00:55]
We messing around round[00:00:58]
Already for now now[00:00:59]
We do what we do we do[00:01:00]
But we know that for now now[00:01:03]
Is only for now now[00:01:04]
We through we through we through[00:01:06]
But I still lover her though[00:01:08]
We've come a long way[00:01:11]
Even though she keep me at arm's length[00:01:13]
Over her head and she responds late[00:01:14]
I place the blame on all them clowns that she round[00:01:16]
Because intelligence ain't part of their style[00:01:18]
Smarten up dumb it down[00:01:20]
Drop a jewel rocking jewelry[00:01:21]
The way you move done parted the crowd[00:01:22]
And I know you did the knowledge before admitted to college[00:01:24]
So why you hanging round with this foolery[00:01:27]
The same lame's bragging how he bagged you dorm rooms[00:01:29]
Done tried to flip the mattress acting like he adore you[00:01:32]
Same bed if it ain't all true[00:01:34]
Why am I here[00:01:36]
You know they lying through the locks and the beards[00:01:37]
Although I'm faded I'm as sharp as they is[00:01:39]
'Cause he ain't seen a barbershop in some years[00:01:41]
Don't mean that he the one to lead us when apocalypse near[00:01:42]
You know I'm right you see the light in the days[00:01:45]
Final calling me I'll see you tonight aye[00:01:47]
I know this girl around town[00:01:49]
She cool she cool she cool[00:01:51]
She coming around round[00:01:52]
When no one around round[00:01:54]
She come through come through she come through[00:01:55]
We messing around round[00:01:57]
Already for now now[00:01:59]
We do what we do we do[00:02:00]
But we know that for now now[00:02:02]
Is only for now now[00:02:04]
We through we through we through[00:02:05]
But I still lover her though[00:02:08]
You ever love somebody that didn't reciprocate it[00:02:10]
But they give you just enough to keep waiting[00:02:12]
Thinking maybe they might see you how you see them with patience[00:02:14]
Will come say when they quit faking on the heart that you gave them[00:02:16]
But do you give it for gift or for the feeling itself[00:02:19]
If nothing's in it for you would you still be willing to help[00:02:21]
I think my love know me more than I give credit for[00:02:24]
She made me greater even though I tell her that I'm better for her[00:02:26]
But she done heard it before and she gone hear it again[00:02:29]
It's plenty men that tried to holler in metaphor[00:02:31]
I'd love to talk to her but I talk through her[00:02:34]
We speak our minds the same time and so I let her off[00:02:36]
Am I the side piece or the main squeeze[00:02:39]
Either way I'm filled with pride when I hear her thank me[00:02:41]
So she can come and go as she please[00:02:43]
She leave me 'lone but not in moments of need[00:02:45]
Ain't only mine and maybe so it should be[00:02:47]
I know this girl around town[00:02:49]
She cool she cool she cool[00:02:51]
She coming around round[00:02:52]
When no one around round[00:02:54]
She come through come through she come through[00:02:55]
We messing around round[00:02:58]
Already for now now[00:02:59]
We do what we do we do[00:03:00]
But we know that for now now[00:03:02]
Is only for now now[00:03:04]
We through we through we through[00:03:05]
But I still lover her though[00:03:07]
