if you were worried ’bout where
i been or who i saw or
what club i went to with my homies
baby don’t worry you know that you got me
black thought
somebody told me that this planet was small
we used to live in the same building on the same floor
and never met before until i’m overseas on tour
and peeped this ethiopian queen from philly takin’ classes abroad
she studyin’ film and photo flash focus record
said she workin’ on a flick and could my clique do the score
she said she loved my show in paris at élysée montmartre
and that i stepped off the stage and took a piece of her heart
we knew from the start that things fall apart and tend to shatter
she like that shit don’t matter when i get home get at her
through letter phone whatever let’s link let’s get together
shit you think not think the thought went home and forgot
time passed we back in philly now she up in my spot
tellin’ me the things i’m tellin’ her is makin’ her hot
started buildin’ with her constantly ’roundtheclock
now she in my world like hiphop and keep tellin’ me

black thought eve
yo i’m the type that’s always catchin’ a flight
and sometimes i gotta be out at the height of the night
and that’s when she flip and get on some old
another lonely night
seem like i’m on the side you only lovin’ your mic
i know you gotta get that paper daddy keep that shit tight
but yo i need some sort of love in my life you dig me
while politickin’ with my sister from new york city
she said she know this ball player and he think i’m prettypsych
i’m playin’ boo you know it’s just with you i’m stayin’ boo
and when cats be poppin’ game i don’t hear what they sayin’ boo
when you out there in the world i’m still your girl
with all my classes i don’t have the time for life’s thrills
so when you sweatin’ on stage think of me when you rhyme
and don’t be listenin’ to your homies they be leadin’ you blind
yeah so what you sayin’ i can trust you
is you crazy you my king for real
but sometimes relationships get ill no doubt

black thought
that snake could be that chick and that rat could be that cool cat
that’s whisperin’ she tryin’ to play you for the fool black
if something’s on your chest then let it be known
see i’m not your everyfiveminutesallonthephone
and on the topic of trust it’s just a matter of fact
that people bite back and fracture what’s intact
and they’ll forever be i ain’t on some oh i’m a celebrity
i deal with the real so if it’s artificial let it be
i’ve seen people caught in love like whirlwinds
listenin’ to they squads and listenin’ to girlfriends
that’s exactly the point where they whole world ends
lies come in that’s where that drama begins and she like
