Slum Village Forever
[Verse 1]
Dear us, we had a gang of ups
Stayed side by side when most split
Consider my constituent, forever I commit
Had much in common, ask Common Sense
As time went, it's hard to look you up in your iris
Knowin' we ain't feelin' the same like when we try this, we liars
Now we back at square, how we here?
Yes, I care – but when I touch, nobody there
Poof! You gone, and I ain't there too
Ghost up in the room, my issues has totally consumed us
More pos' than negative
I wish I had a machine that went back in time so I could cherish it
Years taste like peppermints, fresh
And got rid of stress with sex, you more or less the best
You more than breasts and dress, we messed up, success
It's out fault that our line disconnect...
[Hook]
We should've been (forever)
We could've been (forever)
We should've been (forever)
We could've been (forever)
Us – you and me together, we bust
We could've been together, for what?
We should've been together, but no
It was tough – we broke up
[Verse 2]
Set adrift a memory, 'less...
Memories are for perfect, yes
How do some feel so perfect, yet
To the point everything is pointless
Used to be sweet whispers, now words so vicious
This is so broke we can't fix it
Once was so deep I could hear your heart patter
Now shoulders are colder than winds on Saturn
Look at us, our reflection shattered
When it mattered, it didn't matter, tragic
Communication cut
We don't even hug, we just say “what's up?”
We could've been...
[Hook]
[Verse 3]
We should've been, could've been, would'be been forever, girl
I took you in my world and I let you explore my universe
But at that time, I didn't know that you would hurt me so bad
Apparently, the truth hurts, and I feel sad
I feel like pukin' up my guts in a brown paper bag
Dirty ass – I just knew that I had my #1 diamond girl
'Til you told me that which I will not speak of and don't want to think of
May have cleansed your sins, but that you still reek of
Love stinks, and my lyrics be potpourri on the beat, love
Could've been you and me, but
It's time to clear my memories of us
[Hook]
