Whoever You Are

Lord
After a while you get sick of seeing your spirit turn into shattered glass
I need you to lead me, 'cause y'know
Every Adam has an Eve
Every Boaz has a Ruth
I need you to show me who it is
For me
Yeah

I've been caught up in this whirlwind
Been tossed back and forth, don't need another girlfriend
To turn my spirit into shattered glass
Matter of fact, it's only by God's grace that i haven't snapped
Not playing Ne-Yo, definitely no Dwele
I rather bump Metallica, than R Kelly's 12 play
Forget love, I got an album to write
But this African's reminding me I wanted a wife
And I'm not trying to be a cynic
Or a critic, I just want the real, I don't need a gimmick
I don't wanna diss a chick 'cause my heart's acidic
To the point that I'm bitter & jaded and hard to live with
Lord knows, I don't need another mistake
I'm praying for a lover that's straight
On those long cold winters when the summer's away
On vacay so I'd say

I wish she had a voice like Melanie Fiona
Even had the style of a Dawn Richard
If she looked like Meagan Good, yo it would be over
But really I just want whoever you are
I know I'd go for one looking like Kelly Rowland
Even Suzy Rock 'cause she's a star
And Elle Varner is fly, Frieda Pinto got me open
But really I just want whoever you are

Yeah, you see

I don't need a fit of rage
Seeing some next dude on my girl's twitter page
What? Dag I thought you had a winner Jay
Instead it's rains on my parade, game's been delayed
Hey I guess on deaf ears, petitions fell
Still I wish her well, man I wish her health
In the words of Shawn, I gotta move on
But I took a year off to get my head screwed on
Tighter than before though I met the flyest to the core
I could've had in private for the score, livest to explore
Can't rock with a dame who only talks game
And i know my worth, I don't deserve to be shortchanged
Coming up short doesn't register well
I'm need of a queen so I better excel
Cause I think she's closer than it seems
And I longer have to dream, that

I wish she had a voice like Melanie Fiona
Even had the style of a Dawn Richard
If she looked like Meagan Good, yo it would be over
But really I just want whoever you are
I know I'd go for one looking like Kelly Rowland
Even Suzy Rock 'cause she's a star
And Elle Varner is fly, Frieda Pinto got me open
But really I just want whoever you are

D. Steele on 'em, yeah

And I'm praying for that sista who will challenge me annually
Know communication's key even when she's mad at me
Or vice versa, joy after catastrophe
When we took it to the father, how amazing that would be
How much praying that would need or be the sacrifice
For a star in my universe rarely seen by satellites
Realness, intelligence and grace in it's orbit
Sexiness so applauded, there's no way to ignore it
You pray you're making love 'til exhausted
Then get your second wind 'cause she's everything that was worth the courtship
She's emailing you 40 times in a month
Supportive & descriptive in the lines of each one
Friendship is built, partnership reinforced
And whether life is good or hard to live, she is yours
And God is at the center of the love being pure
And you're inspired to show her every month she's adored
Wait, everything I always wanted, I can tell it's you
Matter of fact, I remember when I fell for you
Singing a love song sweeter than Amel Larrieux's
To the core, I'm making sure that you're well pursued
There's been plenty of sisters that I've dreamed of
But even in the way that you'd check me, I've seen love
I'm just hating all the distance between us
I'm praying that it's you, I've seen hope, I've seen trust
