Brother El - I Just Wanna Hold Your Hand lyrics

Aight shorty, dim the lights I need to concentrate Just gon' practice my breathing {*deep breaths*} [Verse One] Hey girl, huh, I miss you a lot Walkin through the streets and pa**in some of our favorite spots It brings, tears to my eyes Like soul food Sundays, and hot peach cobbler pies I remember those lovely days The ancient days, when I, used to say "Girl it takes too long to get from the North to the Southside" Deep down, I didn't really mind, the long ride Even though I tried to keep my composure Knowin that I owed ya hella loot And no such funds just to even go dutch The pressure on my manhood was way too much Therefore I didn't know how to act Tryin to be a man while ridin on your back I was embara**ed everytime your girlfriends bought you fine items I just wanted to be like them Cause I knew you deserved it, and was definitely worth it And your love, I wasn't tryin to purchase it Just to, show appreciation By then, you was on a different station [Chorus - singing] Reasons so deep for us to understand I come, to hold, your hand [Verse Two] One reason I was workin so hard, on my music I wasn't tryin to lose it I just wanted to stand on my own two feet And have independence complete Some of the things you wanted, I just couldn't see But our whole relationship was consumed in anger Danger of the feeling stranger, cause I was feeling All this depression, and you was feeling Crazy aggressions from the abuse of your old man For reasons so deep it caused us not to understand Each other, although we tried And, both of us lied We wanted to succeed Only to be self-defeated by a mechanism that was deep seated Into the base of our psyche Hopin that there might be a way to release the pain That's set into our migraines, so deep [Chorus]
