Verse One
I got a lover but it's complicated/ we've been off & on/
trying to keep the fire warm/
but a brother jaded/
I've even moved up to Brooklyn so that we could bond/ Feel like I see even less then when I lived away &/ Suffocated by the city she ain't never home/
She in LA or any other place that ain't my arms/
Can't say she cheating because she was never mine alone/
I just think I'm better for her than the drug dealers & the lie tellers/ yeah am I wise but could wrong/
Please don't let be/
I gave her time in half while others get her free/
& I ain't one to compare but what I see/
Is her in a lesser form with anybody instead of me/
we on a different page, same play different stage/
waited on the street to say hi, I must have missed the wave/ await her call to come by/
Chorus
I know this girl around town
she cool, she cool
she coming around, round/
when no one around, round/
She come through, come through we messing around, round/ alrighty for now, now
we do, what we do
but we know that for now, now/ is only for now, now
we through, we through
but I still lover her though
Verse Two
We've come a long way/
Even though she keep me arm's length/
Over her head & she responds late/
I place the blame on all them clowns that she round/ because cause intelligence ain't part of their style/
smarten up dumb it down/
Drop jewel rocking jewelry/
The way you move done parted the crowd/
& I know you did the knowledge before admitted to college/ So why you hanging round with this foolery/
The same lame bragging how he bagged you dorm rooms/ Done tried to flip the mattress acting like he adore you/ Same bed, if it ain't all true/
why am I here/
You know they lying through the locks & the beards/ Although I'm faded I'm as sharp as they is/
cause he ain't seen a barbershop in some years/
don't mean that he the one to lead us when apocalypse near/ you see the light, you know I'm right end of days/
final calling me I'll see you tonight aye/
Chorus
I know this girl around town
she cool, she cool
she coming around, round/
when no one around, round/
She come through, come through we messing around, round/ alrighty for now, now
we do, what we do
but we know that for now, now/ is only for now, now
we through, we through
but I still lover her though
you ever love somebody that didn't reciprocate it/
but they give you just enough to keep waiting/
thinking maybe they might see you how you them with patience/
will come say when they quit faking on the heart that you gave them/ but do you give it for gifts or for the feeling itself/
if nothing's in it for you would you still be willing to help/
I think my love know me more than I give credit for/
she made me greater though I tell her that I'm better for her/
but she done heard it before & she gone hear it again/
it's plenty men that tried to holler in metaphor/
i'd love to talk to her but I talk through her/
we speak our minds the same time & so I let her off/
am I the side piece or the main squeeze/
either way I'm filled with pride when I hear her thank me/
so she can come & go as she please/
she leave me lone but not in moments of need/
ain't only mine & maybe so it should be/
Chorus
I know this girl around town
she cool, she cool
she coming around, round/
when no one around, round/
She come through, come through we messing around, round/ alrighty for now, now
we do, what we do
but we know that for now, now/ is only for now, now
we through, we through but I still lover her though

Big but tight energy from this album that perfectly fit the closed-up vibe of the pandemic and reminded you to call your loved ones. It feels like these important folks in Amir's life each get a bit of their vibe wrapped into the song following. Sable Knight

Just a beautiful jazzy rap album with buttery smooth flows versed with huge talent. It's not only lovely to the ears, but the lyrics are profound and empowering about the struggles that she faces. zhangtastic
