Taxi

She was more beautiful than anything I’ve ever seen

Was the dream I had longed for, for many years

How it broke my heart to see her shed a tear

But she deserved it

I wasn’t perfect, na I never been

So tell me why the hell was you expecting that?

Bitchin' and complaining seems to me like you perfected that

If I would’ve knew I would have never got so damn attached

Found out that she loves me not

Now I’m in this Cadillac

Please don’t panic pretty lady

I won’t do no stupid shit

Just wanna be the one you love

The one you hug

The one you kiss

It’s funny cuz; ever since you left I even miss the shit you used to do to piss me off

They say an un-tampered love is lost

So I’m not downing you

Really though, I’m happy that you found a dude

But anyway

Is the rope a little tight?

It seems as if your wrist are bleeding

And I hope the tape around your lips doesn’t constrict your breathing

Not much room, but the trunks filled actually

That’s why I got you in the back seat, love taxi

That’s why I got you in the back seat

No

Don’t you know I love you so

So tell me why you wanna go

Don’t leave me

Alone

Sitting here, loathing in this ambiance

Staring at the shrine of miscellaneous body parts

I think of how we got off to such a sloppy start

And what seems worst a slit throat, or a tarnished heart?

I guess I got the raw end of the deal

Because this pain will last forever, yours ended in shrills

Now my life’s a nightmare, but it seems so real

Our love was full force yet you chose to yield

So we crashed, face first blood on the dash

I guess the best lesson in life is nothing that last

Fast-forward to this fucked up position I’m in

Contemplating why to live, when I’m living in sin

But shit, niggas like me, wasn’t meant to go to heaven

We was meant to be alone, die, hanging from the ceiling

Tried praying for forgiveness but God told me to shut up
