Crimewave - Don't Talk About Love lyrics

[Verse 1] I never call her a dime, just outta respect She's more like the priceless coins people collect It's hurts to think back -- and I don't talk too much about love But I'ma tell exactly how I feel I agreed but never knew that pain was part of the deal The scars to my heart are the type to never heal Chewed and spit me out like I was part of the meal It's probably cuz I acted like I can't feel But I could, and it felt so good when I would Never thought I'd fall in love with a chicken from the hood She spoke like the sage, wise from experience and age And taught me how to channel my rage Said life is a book and every page is a stage Never go by face value cuz the message is vague Whipped like a slave, your love is all the rave Ways so blazed, givin a praise to the shade Man, we laid together - prayed together I guess you forgot the empire we made together It was small but had structure like a stone pillar Then ya left an aftermath like the wrath of Godzilla At least ya didn't want me for my scrilla Cuz I was a beginner - if you stayed the pay-off woulda been iller Woulda built you a mansion and a beach by the villa Want a k**a? Played the game similar to Reggie Miller I thought I had it won 'til ya dropped the bomb Took my j**els and basically pawned my leg and my arm It ain't long... after the storm is the calm... [Chorus] Tell me why'd you treat this way... Tell me why'd you treat this way... I don't usually talk about love (about love) About love (about love) -- but I'ma tell you how I feel Tell me why'd you treat this way... Tell me why'd you treat this way... I don't usually talk about love (about love) About love (about love) -- but I'ma tell you how I feel [Verse 2] In the calm I like to slink back, and try to think back About all the things you said and did you really think that? Our love was a chain, and couldn't build them links back That sh**'ll make a n***a wanna take his minks back I put you above me lovely, and it's hard to admit But still I think I found my soulmate I gave you warm love, instead you showed me cold hate Hopin ya soul accompanies mine to the Gold Gate Remember when we scraped on the Handy-Cam 8 Skipped the silver screen, went straight to video tape I thought this was a private affair, census Come home to find my crib lookin like a cineplex What all these people doin here? Ain't even my crew in here b**h explain it, I ain't got nuttin but time Probably blinded by the shine while you was caught in the lime Plus I got a couple question that keep plaguing my mind If you don't love me, then leave me alone Your treatin me wrong, even peep on the phone deceit in ya tone Deep and alone, keep offendin my pride Never think ya have a feminine side until it arise You hardcore but I think you still deserve more Findin ya body in pages up in the p**n store What a surprise, what a demise (oooohh!!) Lettin n***as bu*ter ya thighs and nut in ya eyes Had a body chiseled like a statue Now ya titties sag, n***a can't believe that that's you It ain't natural, got rolls like them underground moles Feet belong to trolls, can't f** with Dr. Scholls You used to have goals, you I woulda died for Stayed up endless nights and even cried for I tried hard but maybe I shoulda tried more But if I gave you my trust you woulda lied more Cuz I know it coulda worked out like Tae-Bo Instead of plummet face down into a spi-ral Playin with fire like a pyro -- sometimes I think It was the best thing that happened to me; now I know Word around, ya had a crib and burnt it down That's right, gettin careless with the crackpipe Got on d**, withered away slowly but sure Caught the package but you fumbled the cure I'm asking why you cuz I admired you I cried when you died but when you died I died too And it's fine though... [Chorus] Tell me why'd you treat this way... Tell me why'd you treat this way... I don't usually talk about love (about love) About love (about love) -- but I'ma tell you how I feel Tell me why'd you treat this way... Tell me why'd you treat this way... I don't usually talk about love (about love) About love (about love) -- but I'ma tell you how I feel .... [repeat Chorus while fades]
