[Louis Farrakhan intro]
[Benjamin Starr]
For a moment in time...
[Verse 1]
This picture's broken now
She's got me pacing down this corridor
I'm seeing sides of shorty I ain't seen before
Every problem got an action plan
But like Osama out in Pakistan
I've got a stronghold of Jack in hand
Cold soda, Coca-Cola for the soldier
I was bruised and she would bandage me
My water sign dime, I gave my soul, she gave me sanity
How could I let it fade, into the shade, like a canopy?
I illustrate, her ill was straight, fuel for my fantasies
She knew me well, I knew she loved she loved a real n***a
If we'd see eras together, I'd put future seeds in her
That was my thought then, the moment that she walked in
She's got the type of eyes that guys find hypnotizing
They get lost in
Her brown skin, her k**er silhouette was talked about
I'd often piss her off just to see her pirouette, walking out
The Woman was a flower, to flourish she needed nourishment
Attention to her tendencies, energies, my encouragement
It's twisted but this song I do is like a song for you
Every moment for what it's worth
If I could pawn it that would do
But I can't so I rant, I just put the pen to paper
There is you and there is me
And there is therapy for this break-up
You deserve that happiness
And I'm hoping I move past this sh**
Your friends say you ain't Drunk In-Love no more
You practice abstinence
If I was David Blaine, the dopest magic of the year
Would be to stop the clock and have the time to whisper in your ear
Woman, you're Wonderful
[Hook]
[Verse 2]
This picture's broken now, we went from still waters to pain
Our show's canceled, that's word on the street
That's what they're saying
As I sit calm in my space I'm feeling drained
You're living single now but my flavor can't rekindle this flame
Baby damn, we played a dangerous game, we shared our secrets
It's crazy our most powerful exchanges are all speechless
Let me speak it, then I'll leave, I'm just channeling my regrets
From the depths of my insides the song cried after you left
Just take a listen to it
[Louis Farrakhan bridge]
[verse 2 continued]
And when the story's told, judge me by the sh** that's in my Soul
That you felt when we connected on that sofa in your home
Don't spite me for the tears you shed nightly
But understand this brother-man don't take your hurt lightly
You should have the things that make you smile
Flowers where you stay, delivered fresh
Making love, steamy showers, water dripping off your flesh
I brought a painful truth to you
You brought a painful truth to me
Perfect strangers, truthfully is far from what we used to be
It's twisted but this song I do is like a song for you
Every moment for what it's worth
If I could pawn it that would do
But I can't so I rant, I just put the pen to paper
There is you and there is me and there's therapy for this break-up
You deserve that happiness, and I'm hoping I move past this sh**
Your friends say you ain't Drunk In-Love no more, you practice abstinence
If I was David Blaine, my dopest magic of the year
Would be to stop the clock and have the time to whisper in your ear
Woman, you're Wonderful
