Swoope - Cliff & Claire lyrics

[Hook: Christon Gray] Oh wherever you came from give my regards Somebody made a work of art And I just think it's so bizarre that I'm in the picture So for better or for worse I'm seeking the Lord Sometimes it's back to the drawing board But I won't give up 'til I'm sure it's a perfect picture [Verse 1: Sho Baraka] Okay, meet Claire, ha, she says she's single and content She says she ain't lookin' for a man but we know she really is Prayin' makin' a list of things her husband needs to fit A fit 10 who loves the Lord, she won't settle for no 6 Oh well, let me introduce you to a 6 named Cliff He ain't Adonis, but then again Claire ain't even a goddess Million dollar smile with some 50 dollar pockets He got a k**er charm and he been walkin' with the Lord They get introduced and then they have a couple dates And after months of bein' fake I guess they get sick of the chase After counsel and growth Cliff goes shoppin' for a ring Spits a little game at her like "won't you be my queen?" She wants a big weddin' which means spendin' big bucks He's thinkin' of future expenses he wants to save up Mom told her be submissive baby, don't be contentious Be quick to listen baby girl, your words can be vicious Father told him never stop datin' your wife The honeymoon is one night, she needs good s** her whole life What God has put together, let no man tear apart They have their whole life in front of 'em and this is just the start [Hook: Christon Gray] Oh wherever you came from give my regards Somebody made a work of art And I just think it's so bizarre that I'm in the picture So for better or for worse I'm seeking the Lord Sometimes it's back to the drawing board But I won't give up 'til I'm sure it's a perfect picture [Verse 2: Sho Baraka] Okay, chapter 2, Cliff and Claire have a new situation New child, new career, they need new patience It's a different place in life cuz it's a different marriage They need new expectations now that they've become parents Cliff wants the wife with the shape of his wedding day Claire wants more help with the child and a more servant mate Well since he ain't gettin' s**, and she ain't gettin' served They both do small things to work each other's nerves Because of debt and school loans and the house they own He keepin' up with the Jones's, this brother's never home The things that caught her eye she used to like but she don't like no mo The jokes that came out of his mouth well now she hopes he keeps it closed So when he works he flirts and he gets attention from the boss's a**istant This is causin' some tension She complains so much, man he really starts to hate it Her words are cuttin' him deep so he feels emasculated This makes Cliff very pa**ive but also quite aggressive They both are stressin' cuz their marriage is depressin' They've given up on the portrait it's back to the drawing board They need the right frame of reference so they can paint some more [Hook: Christon Gray] Oh wherever you came from give my regards Somebody made a work of art And I just think it's so bizarre that I'm in the picture So for better or for worse I'm seeking the Lord Sometimes it's back to the drawing board But I won't give up 'til I'm sure it's a perfect picture [Verse 3: Sho Baraka] (Okay, chapter 3) After seein' that their selfish ways were really only hurtin' They ain't perfect but the couple is workin' with counsel Seein' Jesus and other couples as the model Dyin' to serve each other is the paint brush to follow Who would think to love somebody as bad as us Love ain't love unless it can be taken advantage of Love's a commitment at my expense for your benefit It's a call to action even when the server ain't feelin' it I think they know now, they've learned to surround Themselves with other married couples and lay aside the crown Cliff learned how to cheat his job and not cheat his wife Changing his expectations and prioritize his life Claire learned that small things can cause great fights She's trying to serve in spite of and not serve in spite If anything we could model our great hero Always give 100 percent and expect zero
