Nick Speed - Hopeless Romantic lyrics

[Verse 1] See, I'm a laid-back, cool individual This for the woman out there so sensual And if I'm into you I'll write you a poem Ma**age your joints then put you up on Donald Goines Yeah, baby, he's one of my favorite writers Inspirations and desires comes from a power higher Please hand me the lighter so I can light us then ignite the fire The fireplace already lit, a reference in your heart I know you had your share of brothers tearing you apart But I played that part and I hate that part I had to make that start to stop breaking hearts Cause I am [Hook] The hopeless romantic Whose (what?) whose heart learned from damage And that's why I use life as my canvas And through lust [?] how I manage Cause I am the hopeless romantic Whose (what?) whose heart learned from damage And that's why I use life is my canvas And through lust, [?] how I manage [Verse 2] My homie said I'm not alone (we've all been there) At least I can write the drama in a song My tunnel light isn't on, I haven't paid the bill yet Trying to find a home, eviction letter ink still wet Baby mama gone, she ain't even my X, went X to the next, now they both hit the exit Still giving baby mama money I might crack a smile, but ain't a damn thing funny Everything ugly 'cept this chick that I'm seeing next tue' At the library using internet through Reading to my X' mails still trying to exhale Might send her one back Looking at this female, still not unattached About to send an e-mail to my X, life's a gutter clap Maybe we can try again Somebody'll que the violins And loop them on the drum tracks So I can get this out on one rap [Hook] [Verse 3] From heartaches to heartbreaks, we all been there The game of love still here and we know it ain't fair Now you can act like you don't, but people know that you do Cause when you ain't with them you're living cloudy blue A few grey skies can put red in her pair of brown eyes So she'll grow to love you, stay wise and on the humble Cause life's a royal rumble in the jungle You wanna stand tall, they wanna make you tumble You wanna act hard, they wanna make you crumble You wanna talk a lot, man, they wanna make you mumble And turn something little to jumble to ''oh, no'' But love's a team sport, who you know winning solo? And all about development just like a photo And up and down on the strings just like a yo-yo And blessed by broken heart is the promo I didn't do this for the gold so you - did it for the love
