On the Take
04:55

|||
|
VERSE:
The day you said you loved me forever holds a place in my mind.
Mostly 'cause I hate it.
You were just a cute waste of time.
That night you knew you had me
wrapped around illusion like twine.
I ate up your affection.
Blinded by the look in your eyes (yeah, yeah, yeah).
I thought you were the prettiest girl that I could find (at the time).
But it seems just like a hundred thousand people
told me you lie.
CHORUS:
'Cause she's on the take.
She won't hesitate to break your heart.
You know she'll devistate.
The way she operates
she'll take your heart.
Yeah, she's on the take.
VERSE:
Smiling at the stories, laughing like a child of the night.
Maybe disillusioned, detached her action's out of sight.
She had a shady reputation; knew it back in 2005.
Deceptive conversations.
She had a way of feeling alive.
Time to take it serious girl and end all your fun (yo I'm done).
But it seems like even all your people
told me to run.
CHORUS:
BREAK
You know you want it.
VERSE:
That time that you surprised me
Flying out to L.A. was fun
The way you blushed when you drank Bacardi
Every guy thought they were the one.
The way you went about it showed your blackened heart over time.
(Ooh so black)
The last time that I saw you, you couldn't even look in my eyes.
(no, no, no)
It's sad you had me curious, girl.
I thought you were fine (at the time).
But I saw you at the disco dancing with no good friend of mine.
(that ain't right)
CHORUS

ERSE:
She walked past me fastly and so classy
Caught my eye
My, oh my, she's a treasure.
I said slowly "I know you don't know me..."
Oh, my my,
Got my mind on some pleasure
CHORUS:
I, I want to be with you
I, I just want to be with you (2 times)
Lovely lady.
She's my Sinderella.
(yeah)
She said "maybe, baby, I'm your lady"
Oh, my my!
Why am I a lucky fella'?
CHORUS
BRIDGE:
Hey girl,
What ya say?
Don't leave or slip away.
What ya thinkin'?
How you do?
Can I spend time with you?
Hey girl,
What ya say?
Do you want to get away?
Reservation comin' through.
I want to spend time with you.
Grab you coat.
It's time to go.
We'll move together (in stereo).
There's nothing better than a lovely hotel room
To share some lovin' in the afternoon
CHORUS
(go down)
She's my Sinderella
(Hey, Ho)
She's my Sinderella
(Hey) lovely lady
She's my Sinderella
(Hey, Ho)
I've been meaning to tell ya'

(Hey) 'cause when that darkness fades
You can find your way
And you'll know what's in your heart.
CHORUS
Sista, oh sister
Walk in your hometown feeling famous.
Somethin' about this feels so aimless
Sista, oh sister
(OhhAhh...)
V2
You're ready

Be strong

You're coming
Up in something
Believe in you

"Hey, whats wrong?
slow down.
Relax.

VERSE
Damn,

Rushed to pick my clothes up off the floor
No time for food
skipped my shower
grabbed my coat and ran right out the door
PRECHORUS
Always a step behind
playin catch up with the time.
Why can't I find
peace of mind?
When will i catch a break
learn from every last mistake
and grow?
I know
CHORUS
What I need
is an 83 slow jam
to calm me down.
Oh the sound

RAP
Humble, my hon' you're number 1
some burn so hot in summer fun.
A phenomenon, on common ground
pressure lifted now you calm me down.
Found truth,
it sounded heavenly.
When life tested me u stayed next to me.
Like harmony blends into a symphony
we came together & came to an epiphany.
Never pretend to be
a false entity.
Not my enemy,
you're more than a friend to me.
Combine our elements chemically
like chemistry.
I am into you and you are into me.
Shine bright, serendipity all night.
Empty my heart right into the starlight.
I might find divine bliss inside.
Flyin' high our skyline is infinite.
Forever
Forever

VERSE:
Only took a second,
I'm just so distracted by you.
I feel it from the planets
message from the stars as we move.
Only took a second,
just can't take my eyes off of you.
It means we're supposed to happen
look into the stars for the truth.
(One thing I've got to know).
I know this might seem odd to you.
One thing I've got to know
CHORUS:
What's your sign?
(Woah)
What's your sign?
(Woah)
I'm a Gemini
(Woah)
What's your sign?
(Woah)
VERSE:
Blinded by perception
I just want to see the real you.
Tune in my reception
bringing all you are into view.
Come in my direction
hoping that the stars will choose you.
Universal passion
powers go beyond where we knew.
(One thing I've got to know).
I know this might seem odd to you.
One thing I've got to know
CHORUS: (2 times)
RAP:
Sing out on the chorus
from Libra down to Taurus.
Work hard and use the force and
be sure that can't ignore us.
Yo Scorpio, hey what ya know?
Emotional and powerful.
Just size me up with eyes so Virgo.
Analyze and try to conserve yo'energy.
Believe like an Aeries.
Various treats and loves Aquarius.
My sister's so hilarious,
generous, and a Sagitarius.
Show love just like a Cancer
and be my private dancer.
So fancy.
So fascinating.
She had be waiting for the answer
(What's your sign)
Maybe Pisces?
Deep and raise up like the high seas.
She might be a Leo (she might be)
by the way she's solving the crises.
That's right, I relax at home
Matty Cash with the hat and a saxophone.
With my homie, won't share facts alone.
Him and I, Gemini and a Capricorn.

RAP
I was infatuated with her disposition
and how she had a way of smoothin' out the friction.
It's like I rubbed a magic lamp and started wishin'
'cause she was like a fairy tale out of fiction.
But came to life, became the center of attention.
My intuition led me straight into addiction.
My mission became to kill the competition
and make the others disappear like a magician.
I tell her
"no matter what I'll always stick around
and elevate ya, bring ya focus like a pitchin' mound.
No hocus pocus, I'm a hopeless romantic
yeah it's magical on a throne to the planet.
Won't take you for granted.
Girl, I'll give you the world until I vanish
and treat you like the queen that you are,
all I can manage.
We are so far ahead of our time
we'll leave the future behind
and let the haters catch damage
CHORUS
(go down)
She's my Sinderella
(Hey, Ho)
She's my Sinderella
(Hey) lovely lady
She's my Sinderella
(Hey, Ho)
