Pharoahe Monch - The Cycle lyrics

Her last boyfriend was a girlfriend Dude before that sent her through a whirlwind Hurt her so bad, made her so sick She was willing to give up on… [Hook] Her last boyfriend was a girlfriend Dude before that sent her through a whirlwind Hurt her so bad, made her so sick She was willing to give up on… The love story she knew so well It was a tale her mom used to tell Never saw her mom love a man Thought it wasn't part of her plan But the cycle can't continue (don't give up on love) The cycle can't continue (don't give up on love) [Verse 1] She wants to love, but she doesn't know how That is what she said That just blew my head She told me I should go Like I did before But deep in her eyes I could not ignore That she saw in me The king that I could be And that she was a queen Just her crown was scratched and dinged [Hook] [Verse 2] She's hard to hold But I'm holding her long Love her like a song That my heart beat's drumming on She's just waiting on Something to go wrong But everyday I can say we'll be fine We will have our ups and downs (yes we will) I'll still stick around (yes I will) Right here to work it out (what's the deal?) That's what love's about, girl [Hook] [Verse 3: Pharoahe Monch] Thinkin' I'm psycho, for thinkin her cycle can't continue And perhaps she, from a female's perspective Can relate more intricately with what you been through Empathize with your menstrual cycle But the cycle can't continue Like a bike chain pops and a train stops The brain opts out the cycle to evolve When the rain stops we watch the pain dissolve Never letting it continue to the next Generation of women that's confusing love with s** Generation of men courting women with a text Social network and s**ual pics She was willing to give up on... But if I am him, and he is me then Yes it's true I deal with fear I can't compete, a hemisphere I'm incomplete unless you're near You're like 180 degrees Of sunshine, oxygen, and trees And the world is yours The universe is mine In 360 degrees recombine With your last boyfriend
