To Love - SHOPÉ, Sean C. Johnson

I remember you remember, we was love without a budget

Cupid quick to shoot the bullet

Skip the arrow, this was urgent//

We was on our way

All these days

Seem to fly by

We was all the praise//

But I hate feeling nostalgia

Like its dead and gone in the hours

Since the honeymoon

It’s come to bloom

We left the Sun/Son, became the moon//

What’s love, if this ain’t hate

So what’s real, if this ain’t fake

My homie told me, he and his girl split the same way

I pray to God, this can’t be our same fate//

I know, you know

We both can’t take this too long//

But who’s wrong, and who’s strong’s a weakness we been too on

If we don’t work it out

We both dieing in this shootout//

If it’s love, then show me that it’s love

And if we stray, it don’t matter, nothing great comes in a day//

Hook

Can’t stay mad for long

I choose to love you

I don’t care who’s right or wrong

I choose to love you

Everyday

Choose to love

Everyday

Choose to love

Swallow my pride

Choose to love

I chose to love

I chose to love you

So why we yelling, why we fussin, why the neighbours know our business,//

Ain’t we 'posed (supposed) to be in love and model out the perfect witness//

You done witnessed all my good & bad

Now what this gotta do with that?

It’s do or die, or suicide, we said that on the realest side//

We ain’t come away and we ain’t goin' now

So we don’t run away when the rain comes down

Son/Sun is on the way, just beyond those clouds

I know you

And you know me//

So we acting like we victims of our own emotions

Like we ain’t got the spirit in the mix of our devotion,//

You quick to get involved

I’m quick to cut you off

We quick to speak and slow to listen

That’s a vision flawed//

This thing God put together

He meant to last forever

No one assunder, rain or thunder even when we under,//

So baby ride this wave with me

Come on stay with me

This thing we started still got beauty, though it ain’t pretty//
