Two to Work - SHOPÉ

It ain’t a secret, I only roll with a couple few

A couple true, a couple dudes, only accustomed to//

A couple role models to follow till I see decay

The greatest one on earth, the one who gave me DNA

Papa seemed to lead the way

Cuz Papa hit the knee to pray

So Papa hear me when I say

I profit from your godly ways//

But though you man above the rest

You’re still a man at best

So I got questions, I got questions, beating on my chest//

You stayed so strong

But you and mom, what went so wrong,//

Was it all bliss, were there rose petals?

Or was it always this;

rain, stone, metal?//

Can’t imagine this the picture you imagined

For better or for worse, well it’s the worst that seemed to happen//

Grappling with facts, both of y’all just seem to argue back//

Back to back to back to back, I’m sick of it, it’s wack//

Sometimes I wonder what you did or what you didn’t

It ain’t about who’s right or wrong, the question;

did you do your own

It take two to work

It take two to work

Beloved mama

The drama could never come between us

This ain’t no karma, cuz I’m calmer by the grace of Jesus//

Learning to let go

Learning to let live

Learning that unforgiveness ain’t the way to get peace//

I pray that peace comes with you and Dad

I pray that this song don’t get you mad

But I’m cool with that//

Not an indictment, just need disciplling

You’re right, I wasn’t there, so I don’t know what happened//

But still I know the roller coast ain’t worth the overdose

Remember what you always said, you’ve got the Holy Ghost//

No longer into pointing fingers that’s besides the point

I just present it to my God, now that’s a power point

Now let me exhale

Pray you excel in these next years,//

(A) simple word for you

I hope you see the Word as true //

The two?

Meant to intertwine 'to a single line

So I put it in a simple rhyme

Hook

It’s been more than 2 years since I took the step

2 stepping in my 3 piece, go see the threads//

And people ask me what it’s been like

I tell em more lessons, more blessings, more stressing what it feel like//

More pleasure than you’ve ever owned

And more pain than you’ve ever known

Yea it’s a bit of both//

I got my own patterns

She got her own patterns

You know I feel like I’m from Pluto and she’s from Saturn,//

But still I need you, Imma lead you like the 2 Adam

And Imma love you from your accent to your back spasms

Or when your neck hurt, after a long flight

I’ll put in that work, I’ll do it all night//

I’m just an honest writer

I hope you honest listen

Cuz if you’ve never witnessed

I’m just an honest Christian//

I just wanna right the wrongs I never witnessed

As witness that your past don’t have to live as your predictions//
