In '03 I was first meeting you
Then its 2013
Girl its was me and you
Now its 2015
I'm talking rings with you
I used to dream of you
But now I'm living out a dream come true
A lot of years passed
I heard them girls speak of you
With more fiction than the facts
They wasn't speaking true
See that's what happens
When them ratchets can't compete with you
The only thing that matters
You had my back when I needed you
Damn
Took me ten years just to be with you
I know friends dating friends
Not a genius move
We took the road less traveled
Yeah the scenic route
Its better than imagined
I couldn't fathom a sweeter view
There ain't nothing on this planet
That's as sweet as you
A panoramic couldn't capture
What I see in you
I see the heart, see the passion
See the queen in you
You've always been attractive
But the fact is I believe in you
Just trying to do it on our own
Turn a room into a home
And a roof into a crown
Baby here's a taste of royalty
To say thank you for your loyalty
And now we sitting pretty on a throne
And we did it on our own
Its a long way down
Baby here's a taste of royalty
To say thank you for your loyalty
The truth is
If I could go in the past with you
I would pursue after you
And tell you every single thing
About you I'm attracted to
And make my first move
If I knew that back then that
Me and you would be compatible
But girl lets be practical
A yearbook nerd turned rapper who
Always played it safe
An old fashioned dude
And you was the cheerleader
Slash, dancer whose
Attributes and swagger
Was twice as bad as your attitude
Never had a chance
So I never thought about asking you
And happily ever afters
Hardly happen to average dudes
Until you told me
That every feeling I had for you
Was more than mutual
So I figured what did I have to lose
Our connection was natural
Organic and magical
My 5'10 light skinned
Maya Angelou
'Cause woman you're phenomenal
And darling I ain't mad at you
Appreciate you hard
I give my beating heart as gratitude
Just trying to do it on our own
Turn a room into a home
And a roof into a crown
Baby here's a taste of royalty
To say thank you for your loyalty
And now we sitting pretty on a throne
And we did it on our own
Its a long way down
Baby here's a taste of royalty
To say thank you for your loyalty
Old flames throwing shade
Well undeserved
But nonetheless
We made it through undeterred
Girl I love it when you curse
And every inch of them lovely curves
Got me at an all-time high
My little hummingbird
For what its worth
I will never doubt or judge you
I'ma hold you down
Always be around to love you
Always make you smile
When I hug you
'Cause you finally found
The puzzle piece you needed
In your life to keep you out of trouble
I know you like to speak your mind
Swinging out your knuckles
Do you remember
When we downed a couple shots
Of Fireball at Dillon's Bar
Made the next round a double
Then you told me in your heart
That we were bound to be a power couple
Well since then
We both been about our hustle
Started making power moves
But ran into power struggles huh
The truth is
We had a few tiffs but bounced back
Two palm trees of the same root
Since Mount Sac
Who weathered every storm
From car problems to mouse traps
Sketchy landlords
And police cars as soundtracks
Apparently
We've been destined for prosperity
Allow me now to thank you
For all the ways you been there for me
Giving physical therapy
Getting dinner prepared for me
Staying up for my overnight shifts
And missing me terribly
Loving you is like air to me
Only way I'ma stop
Is the very moment they bury me
Baby girl will you marry me
Just trying to do it on our own
Turn a room into a home
And a roof into a crown
Baby here's a taste of royalty
To say thank you for your loyalty
And now we sitting pretty on a throne
And we did it on our own
Its a long way down
Baby here's a taste of royalty
To say thank you for your loyalty
