Grain
Akon/Ray Lavender Lyrics

So soft and slow
The girl he's with is physically soft and slow which makes him believe she's innocent, but in reality, she's cold and manipulative.

Never knew a girl could be so god damn cold, I know, the way she move got me spendin' my dough
He is realizing that the girl he's with is only interested in his money and he's falling for her anyway.

And yo, If you would've seen what I seen on that pole Just know, That I was wrong for fallin' in love
He saw the girl dancing for money in a strip club and is now realizing he made a mistake in falling for her.

I was wrong for fallin' in love (They always say don't love a ho) I was wrong for fallin' in love (Don't do it yo') I was wrong for fallin' in love (They always say don't love a ho)
He's acknowledging that people warned him about falling for a woman who makes money by dancing, and he now realizes he should have listened.

But I just went against the grain It was a feelin' I can't explain And it felt like harmony Singin' in my face like Diddy-duhdee doo-dah-day
Despite knowing he shouldn't have fallen for her, he did it anyway. He's trying to justify his actions by saying it felt right.

Look at me, I'm stuck That bubble in my pants got me caught up
He's attracted to her physically and can't control his urges, which has gotten him in trouble.

I never, had no luck Thinkin' with the wrong head got me jumpin' out there With no glove It feels so good had me sprung out all messed up Now I'm stuck
He didn't think about the consequences of being sexually involved with her and is now stuck dealing with those consequences.

That's what I get for fallin' in love (They always say don't love a ho) That's what I get for fallin' in love (Don't do it yo') That's what I get for fallin in love (They always say don't love a ho)
He's facing the negative consequences of falling for a woman who only wants him for his money and body, and he acknowledges that people warned him about it.

So thick, so raw That oil all over her body stole my heart I'm caught, The way she drop down won't allow me to close my drawers 'Cause I'm, already in love and I knew better from the start Oh No,
He's physically attracted to her and despite realizing that she's using him, he can't help but be drawn to her. He's aware that he should have known better from the beginning.

But I just went against the grain It was a feelin' I can't explain And it felt like harmony Singin' in my face like Diddy-duhdee doo-dah-day
Despite knowing he shouldn't have fallen for her, he did it anyway. He's trying to justify his actions by saying it felt right.

I don't want it to ever go away I want it around me every day Singin' in my face like Diddy-duhdee doo-dah-day
He's caught up in his feelings and doesn't want to let go of the good times he's had with her, even though he knows it's not sustainable.
