he keeps me thirsty
i left surprised some sunday ago
he said he's still stickin with his ex shorty up in nyc
i didn't know
he's right here in philly
so i open up another 40
and then let go
pour a lil liquor out for another lost homie
on the road
he ain't the only one i've had to deal with
so now i gotta go

love's open but complex
at first sight i felt somewhat vexxed
god sent down angels in disguises to form the hex
so that venus cries in her 12th house of undoing

i smoke another cigarette and form a thought
handle my business without being caught
perpetuate the situation with what is sought
i form puzzles and plots and plans
i philosophize with the words in my hands
i make the world stand where i stand
every bit of architecture that raises into the sky
builds a bridge between him and i
its only reasonable that this thing might be seasonal
but i have to play the cards out
do the best if i try
not to give up or in without a fight
only then will i live to love another day

because i deserve so much
