[INTRO:]
From flesh up into glory
Some stories of cemeteries
I know ‘bout shadows that shifting
Stories told if you don't know me
Battles fought, some wars lost
Kingdoms too, love's cost
The prelude to glory, beginning and the end
[VERSE 1:]
Mom watching vigilantly
I called her vigilante
“Where you at?”, “where you been?”
That ain't care if she ask me
Pops was a preacher man
Prior to that been a teacher man
I felt the life I lived they ain't teach me
You ain't never teach that man
Pops taught that mathematics
Which I thought was hardly magic
Least I learned “X'' is a variable
I hardly gat it
Home had that “X” factor, maybe we could factorize
The varying degrees it burned with hell
I know my math is matic
Re-emphasizing the fact that my math is poor
Thanks to Sound Sultan for a cla**ic
I can sing along
Still my curiosity ‘bout how a variable
Flows from a constant “K” of course
Seems like you build to destroy
I ain't mean to bore you with my failing maths of a life
I was told love was the only constant
Which you needed in life
When you thinking you done found it
You cherishing what you finding
Math is playing in the background
You ain't know that you just found ex
First texting “I miss you”
The first time love had kissed you
Those arms that wrapped around you
Swore they only gon' please you
Now you did things that ain't please you
Cos you said “I wan' please you”
Then she said “I hate my exes”
Now love is starting to diss you, huh?
What's the problem?
Bad mathematics
Feelings is fickle, they never been a constant habit
[VERSE 2:]
You think love is roses you don't know Jack
And you might be sinking
Or love is spinning and making you dizzy
You might be drinking
Oh oh, we done broke up
Sleeping dogs (dawgs) all now we done woke up
Hanging at each other's throats
Hate trying to choke us
Elevated emotions done got your hopes up
Been sober ‘fore love drunk
Drunk in love had me tipsy on a love song
Love sung to a lover when that wine is love strong
Wondering why they comparing feelings to some
Strong rum?
Cos that hang-over forever don't last
She brought a headache when the feelings pa**ed
We swore forever last week and half
The same problem different effect
I can guess the reason why you always called the “ex”
Cos the feelings of a man are inconsistent
[VERSE 3:]
Back to the point, well I ended up the ex
Least I can say it's better than when you ain't even the ex
You ain't even know what this is
But then tell everyone “we friends”
You ain't even know what need you'd be used to satisfy next
Sex don't equate love, but it's the only constant feeling
Like a DJ scratching her itching
Purity stained on ‘em bed sheets
Or else my banks is empty
This kind of relationship ain't profit
You could fool yourself saying love ain't investment
That's to gain profit
But at least you gaining something
That makes you think “Worth it” ain't perfect
This ain't worthy
I can't think of a perfecter way to word it
I been knew ‘bout shifting shadows
I'm the shadow at night
Cos the only time I had your attention
Was in the shadows of night
Plus I ain't want my boys to see me
The deception wasn't easy
False personality like a double
I knew how much they believed me
Believe me, those times had greatly told on my commitment
Surely getting attraction to walk distraction
Wouldn't be something easy
Now I'm here talking ‘bout writing you a song
When I know you don't even care
‘bout me writing you a song
But still I'm hoping somehow you finna be singing along
But by the time I was done with “Make Me Go”
Choc had been far gone
Shepherds missing sheep's scattered
What you missing?
Don't it matter that you looking to find what you had
Hardening you heart to what you will find?
You won me for losses
Life of goddamn bosses
Just so you got this
“X's” variables for life
Only one constant is Christ
That's the constant K that I find
