If The Shoe Fits
George the Poet Lyrics

Your boyfriend is about to become your ex-boyfriend
Your current partner is on the verge of becoming your former partner

Them lonely nights
Those nights when you feel alone

Won't be nights, it will be sex toys then
Instead of feeling lonely, you will resort to using sex toys for pleasure

See he wears the trousers
He has the dominant role in the relationship

Thats where the deep heart power hides
His true emotions and power lie in his dominant role

Unfortunately there is no women parallels
There are no equal roles for women in this situation

It's a man's world
The world favors men in these situations

Why would we help ourselves?
Why should women help themselves in this unequal world?

He strolls in smelling like female shower gels
He comes home with a scent that suggests he has been with other women

Insulting your intelligence
Disrespecting your intelligence and ability to notice his infidelity

Ask him what's the relevance you never seeing Radox in his place
Question him about why you never come across Radox products (associated with women) in his place

He needs a box in his face
He deserves to be punched in the face

If your gonna cheat
If you're going to cheat on me

At least be weary and clever
At least be cautious and smart about it

We did the shopping together
We used to do our shopping as a couple

You bought Imperial Leather
You bought a specific brand of soap

Furthermore, who smokes so fresh at 3pm?
Additionally, who starts smoking at 3pm with such freshness?

And where's your precious BBM?
Where is your beloved BlackBerry Messenger?

That phones always seems to be on in front of me
Your phone always appears to be active when I'm around

But I can never seem to reach you on it, funnily
But strangely, I am never able to reach you on it

Np, you weren't at the gym
No problem, you weren't at the gym

Cause where's your gym bag?
Where is your gym bag that you usually have with you?

Where's the tension in your muscles?, you thin slag
Why are your muscles not tense like they usually are? You skinny person

On Whatsapp your seen every 5 minutes
On WhatsApp, your activity status updates every 5 minutes

Until I have something to say
Until I have a message to send

I'm sick of having to guess who your fucking today
I'm tired of constantly guessing who you are having sexual encounters with

Who your tucking away
Who you are hiding or secretly keeping around

But you see I'm stuck in a way
But I am trapped in this situation

Cause I love you today but I hate this for the life of me
Because I still have feelings for you, but I despise this situation

Why can we not have the most basic of privacy?
Why can't we have a simple level of privacy in our relationship?

Why does she have to leave traces, I can see?
Why does the other person have to leave evidence that I can notice?

Why don't you put in any effort when you lie to me?
Why don't you make an effort to deceive me convincingly?

So I don't find scratches on your back
To avoid me discovering scratches on your back

Why are there no dry patches on your back?
Why are there no areas of dry skin on your back?

You barely cream a leg, if I don't scream or beg
You rarely apply lotion to your leg, unless I plead or beg

Which on of them ratchets on your sack
Which one of them women grabbed onto your genitals?

With a mattress and a flat, just gave you a massage
One of the women you were with, who lives in a flat, just gave you a massage on a mattress

You wasn't waved, you wasn't charged
You weren't under the influence of alcohol or drugs, and you weren't charged any money

So you definitely remember
So you definitely remember this encounter

I'm making an effort
I am trying my best

No I'm making an effort to try keep my temper
No, I am making an effort to control my anger

But I don't know why you are stuttering
But I don't understand why you are stumbling over your words

Maybe your chocking on the lie your uttering
Perhaps you are struggling to speak because you are lying

But if I find the slut again, I won't cry
But if I catch that woman again, I won't shed a tear

I'll cut her skin
I will harm her physically

Apart from Lindsay, your downright foul
Besides Lindsay, you are completely offensive

See the drama breaks your bored
Engaging in drama distracts you from your boredom

And you find it kinda live
You find it somewhat exciting

If your day consist of a more than a minor a 9-5
If your day consists of more than just a regular 9-5 job

You wouldn't stay too twisted and flawed
You wouldn't remain so distorted and flawed

You would find some kinda drive
You would find some motivation or purpose

Instead of obsessing over having a man to squeeze
Instead of obsessing over finding a man to be with

Coming up with these elaborate fantasies
Creating these complex fantasies in your mind

Getting mad at different women
Getting angry at various women

You need to get over your Dad and just forgive him
You need to move on from the pain caused by your father and forgive him

Yeah, I know
Yes, I understand

I know you had it bad in the beginning
I know you had a difficult start

But everyone's dealing with the challenges of living
But everyone faces their own challenges in life

I know your dad hurt you
I know your father caused you pain

But there's callous disposition
But there's a lack of empathy and compassion

And there is mindless of a villain
And there is the behavior of a thoughtless villain

But it's not my fault that a gyallis is within him
But I am not responsible for his promiscuous nature

If I'm chattin' to a gyal, It isn't sinning
If I am talking to another woman, it is not a sin

Why are we having the same conversations that we had in the beginning?
Why are we still having the same discussions we had at the start?

A year and a month in
After being together for a year and a month

Is my patience not appealing to run things, or is it a problem or something
Is my patience not attractive enough for you to take control, or is there another issue?

Apart from Lindsay, your downright foul
Except for Lindsay, you are truly unpleasant

See the drama breaks your bored
Engaging in drama alleviates your boredom

And you find it kinda live
And you find it somewhat thrilling

If your day consist of a more than a minor a 9-5
If your day consists of more than just a regular 9-5 job

You wouldn't stay too twisted and flawed
You wouldn't remain so mentally and emotionally disturbed

You would find some kinda drive
You would discover some motivation or ambition

Instead of obsessing over having a man to squeeze
Rather than fixating on finding a man to be with

Coming up with these elaborate fantasies
Creating these intricate, detailed fantasies

Getting mad at different women
Getting angry at multiple women

You need to get over your Dad and just forgive him
You should move past the pain caused by your father and forgive him

Yeah, I know
Yes, I understand

I know you had it bad in the beginning
I am aware that things were difficult for you at the start

But every ones dealing with the challenges of living (challenges of living)
But everyone is coping with the hardships and struggles of life

I know your dad hurt you
I understand that your father caused you pain

But there's callous disposition
But there is a lack of empathy and compassion

And there is mindless of a villian
And there is thoughtless behavior resembling that of a villain

But it's not my fault that a gyallis is within him
However, I am not to blame for his promiscuous tendencies

If I'm chattin' to a gyal, It isn't sinning
If I am speaking to another woman, it is not a sin

Why are we having the same conversations that we had in the beginning?
Why are we still having discussions that we had at the start of our relationship?

A year and a month in
After being together for a year and a month

Is my patience not appealing to run things, or is it a problem or something
Is my patience not attractive enough for you to take control, or is there another issue?

Nah, that's to much disrespect
No, that is too much disrespect

For your fuck swallow and pride
To satisfy your ego and pride

How can a massive prick, be so hollow inside?
How can someone who is so arrogant have such emptiness within them?

He don't even see this as an issue to attend to
He doesn't consider this as something he needs to address

He don't resent you, and he won't pretend to
He doesn't hold any grudge against you, and he won't pretend to

You fight, he leaves, cause thats what men do
When you argue, he walks away because that's how men often behave

Part of you wants to follow his ride
Part of you wants to join him in his journey

But all hope for tomorrow has died
But any optimism for the future has disappeared

You kinda wanna catch a date and a next girl
You sort of want to go on a date with someone else

Because you are kinda sick and tired waiting to exhale
Because you are tired of waiting for a release from this situation

And set sail for the stress within
And escape from the internal stress and turmoil

You even get selfless and message him
You even overcome your selfishness and send him a message

After you, use to be selfish and mess with him
After you previously acted selfishly and played with his emotions

I was rolling by
I happened to be passing by

First it's slow reply, now it's no reply
Initially, he responded slowly, now he doesn't reply at all

But after a night of violent drama
But after a night of intense conflict and chaos

You would rather just find some kinda karma
You would prefer to seek some form of retribution

A knight in shining armour
Someone who can rescue you from this predicament

That's when you realise there's golden guys
That's when you realize there are good men out there

So you move like a spy, Austin Powers
So you act stealthily, like a spy in the style of Austin Powers

Golden eye
Like the character GoldenEye, you have a keen eye for the right person

Left your girlfriends place
You left the place where your female friends were

To give yourself some space
To create distance and have some time alone

You've never told a lie
You have always spoken the truth

But you never told her why
But you never explained to her the reason behind your actions

Don't deny, You was coming to my road allie
Don't deny it, you were heading towards my area, my friend

Yeah
Yes

Tears gave you swollen eyes
Crying caused your eyes to become puffy

Man on the corner try holla at you
A man standing on the corner attempted to get your attention

But they see you walk to my door
But they witnessed you walking towards my door

And I know them guys
And I know those men

So their momentary hope and scowling dies
Their temporary optimism and disapproving looks fade away

That's when I open up, arms open wide
That's when I open the door, with my arms wide open

Go chat to the mandem, alright
Go talk to the guys, okay

Go inside, take off your coat and pride
Go inside, remove your jacket and let go of your pride

Our eyes coincide (yeahh)
Our eyes meet at the same time

I ask myself
I question myself

Does she really wanna talk?
Does she truly want to have a conversation?

And I found no answer
And I didn't find a response

Other than it's probable
Except that it's likely

But if you was with your girls
But if you were with your female friends

Coming to me to talk about man trouble isn't logical
Seeking me out to discuss relationship issues with men doesn't make sense

I get a blanket from the cupboard
I fetch a blanket from the cupboard

Thinking sod it all
Thinking to hell with everything

You can't stand it, getting smothered in
You can't handle it, feeling overwhelmed

You sob some more
You cry even more

I know your in a little Motherland
I know you are emotionally distraught

It's horrible, that's okay
It's terrible, but it's alright

Lets just cuddle in this corridor
Let's just cuddle in this narrow space

Come here
Come closer to me

I found you on the verge of disillusion
I encountered you when you were about to lose hope or become disillusioned

But you
But you

Came in search of a solution
Came looking for a resolution or answer

Flesh on your body and perfect distribution
The way your flesh is distributed on your body is perfectly proportioned

The fact he thinks he is worth it is amusing
The fact that he believes he is deserving is entertaining

But he's a player, this niggas losing
But he's a player, this man is failing

If I was here I would be vex for real
If I were in his position, I would be genuinely angry

Look at the sex appeal, your figures losing
Look at the reduced level of attractiveness, you are losing your appeal

Please don't think this is standard customer service
Please don't believe this is the usual level of customer service

I ain't tryna make you feel flustered and nervous
I'm not trying to make you feel anxious and stressed

Even though your sweet, your ain't just a dessert
Although you are sweet, you are more than just a dessert

Because without the cake, the custard is worthless
Because without the main component, the accompanying part is meaningless

I know it feels good to be understood
I know it feels great to be understood by someone

But if someone's got to do it, I'm the one who should
But if someone needs to do it, I should be the one

So let me take away the pain
So allow me to alleviate your pain

It's never too late to play the game
It is always possible to participate in the game

(It's never to late to play the game)
(It is never too late to participate in the game)

But after the screams and tangled legs
But after the loud arguments and entangled bodies

The bubble baths, then the beans and the scrambled eggs
The relaxing baths, followed by meals of beans and scrambled eggs

You won't feel bad
You won't feel guilty

How scandalous is this?
How scandalous is this situation?

That will teach him how to handle his business
That will teach him how to handle his affairs or responsibilities

You better be careful what you say to me
You should be cautious about what you say to me

Cause it might turn around on you
Because it could backfire on you

You better be careful what you do to me
You should be careful about how you treat me

Cause someone might do it to you
Because someone might do the same to you
