Picture In Words

It's that day I've been ignoring for a whole season
Turning pages, tryna see where this'll all lead to
It's prom day, everybody pull up in a coup
And it's been an hour, gotta get a tailored suit

My girl planned her shit a couple weeks ago
Although she did her nails, jus to take em off tomorrow
She in the limo wondering if I'm gon like her clothes
Lashes, makeup, lipstick, gripping on the car door

Meanwhile I'm jus leaving the house with time
Don't got a father but I still knew how to tie a tie
Hoping she liked the suit I paid for with my mama wallet
Or tuxedo, man I don't even know what you call it

Looked in the mirror, I realized that lil boy I used to see
Got replaced by a teen
And then later a man
Got responsibilities and girl to manage
Make sure she ate sum, even just a lil sandwich

Make sure she got what she need to have fun at that party
And if she need me by her side, Ima be right there
And it's my night too, you know my homies saved a chair
Look at the time, got like 7 minutes more to spare

Rain pour, forgot my umbrella, before i'd use my hair tho
Till mama dragged me to the barber, mad as hell for
Shit that you'd think mamas can't do as you turn 18, oh
How wrong I was, but ey, I still got a roof on my head tho

So I felt every raindrop on my way to the station
Till mama called a cab that direction, may god bless her
Crazy how I pulled up in a rusty Toyota
While other came in Lamborghinis and Teslas

But my main concern was never the cars or all the fancy pieces
Nah, I needed find my girl, I ain't see her all weekend
We both been nervous for each others thoughts
They disappeared when she was standing there across the hall

She wore a black dress, hugging from her hips
And dragging loosely under
Gold heels, she cut her hair, so now it reach her shoulders
White nails, with black tips looking like chocolate glaze

But when I saw her face, I might've moved a little
But my mind was still in place
Like it was solving riddles
Like, how should I behave?

When in front of me is the greatest thing that god assembled
And I don't say it lightly
With beauty raw and simple, I wanna treat her rightly

If I rate the party like an earthquake, I'd give it a 5
But if I rate her like a hurricane, she category 9
Just the way she blew my mind away, i'd say it's right
I ain't been the same since last time I looked in her eyes
The image of them glossed lips daring me to come close
And her small hips, composure left me way before
Too bad we ain't got a picture, but words outlive me too
In her eyes, now I'm seeing where this all lead me to
You
