Me and Girlfriend
Me and Girlfriend (4/3/2008)
We broke a few rules because we love to bend them
Our intentions were pure so one day we will mend them
But the words that we send them are the truest and earnest
We can leave them here speechless, we’ll be leaving them wordless
Cause I’m needing these verses like I’ve needed this purpose
My girlfriend and me, we can beat all these curses
Then we’ll be leaving this circus to enjoy all the peace
This girlfriend loves him and that’s all this boy needs
So don’t be playing coy please cause I know what you’re thinking
It all seems so wrong and everything will be sinking
The past to which you’ve been comparing and linking
Is simply never the life that we’re now sharing and inking
Cause we’re caring and thinking and loving and trusting
These two hearts of gold that are sharing this something
We’ve risen from nothing and have broken through ceilings
With our arms interlocked and the love that we’re feeling
And you won’t steal it away with your doubts and misgivings
We’re living this love cause it all seems to be fitting
I’m not quitting this thing and I know she won’t either
She will never leave me and you can bet I won’t leave her
Cause every time that I see her, I can feel the old fighter
The guy who will stand tall and be right beside her
Like Bonnie and Clyde, it’s not wronger but righter
And we’ll turn to the world and burn it down with our fire
Notes: I give a little nod of recognition to the Jay-Z song that inspired me to write my own. In the end, though, it’s about me and her taking on all the doubters and letting what we have speak for itself.
