HALF WAY

i walked into the room and you were there
i was blinded by your eyes, oh that subtle piercing stare

over the next few weeks
i wouldn't look at you but she
yet still i found us growing closer and closer

there was a glorious night and we both run
to behold the lover's painted lines provided by the sun

coincidences here and there
coincidence well i don't care
and now I think about the month of september

we were both drunk
when you met me
and i didn't see it going
any further than it did
and yeah we shared the sin
with the man who's promised his wife and his kids

there is no real future around the bend
though i've gained lots of friends, since what we had met its end

i don't know if it's truly truly true
that you never knew just how much i like you
it won't change your decision but at least, now, you know.

so here's your chance
come and take my hand
time is not a friend
to opportunity

and when it knocks
you'd better answer
look out on the doorstep
and you'll find me.

this first verse is just going to be an introduction
alright, i'm gonna introduce my man right here
albert kim - pro status - let's do this

no he don't wear stunnas shades, and he ain't trying to impress
you'd think he was an azn scenester from the way that he dress
he'll rep the classy penguin shirt and got some vans on his feet
and if you want street cred AKIM he can't be beat
but you know it aint the clothes, no, ain't what makes him fresh
this kid be MV pro status, read grendel to gilgamesh
who else but me and my man woulda thought to sample RENT?
we're feeling digable planets here, but on the jazz we relent.
and yes we represent the bay, but that hyphy ain't our stuff
we're just chillin' out max, to us bel air can be rough
when you compare what we do, but what do we do?
how can rhymes so fly come from a mouth fed with a silver spoon?
we like to keep it chill, though, support the ladies too
ain't gonna hear nothing outta us jesus wouldnt a said to you
check this secret easy to spot as a pigeon from a dove
if something's missing from your life all you gotta ask is how about love

what are you afraid of rough draft

is it in the tired way your eyes meet mine
like they've done a hundred times
the rationale i've never seen
the comfort was a sign
was it that glorious night beneath the stars
or our sunswept summer days
that have created in me the impetus
to begin feeling this way

and you don't know
what we will be come september
and you don't know
if you even want to remember
love, what are you afraid of?
what, are you afraid of love?

since we met i've been running
circles around my house
trying to figure out just what
you've done to me
the butterfly swarm around my eyes
make it difficult to see
anything other than your beauty

F
so here's your chance,
E
come and take my hand
Am
time is not a friend
C
to opportunity
F
and when it knocks, you'd better answer
E
look out on your doorstep
Am
the man there waving
C
is me.

and you don't know
what we will be come september
and you don't know
if you even want to remember
love, what are you afraid of?
what, are you afraid of love?
