CENTER OF ATTRACTION
Ghostface Killah and Apollo Brown Lyrics

Did you feel the wind this time?
Did you sense an ominous presence lurking nearby?

Did you see the moonlight shine?
Did you catch a glimpse of the eerie moon casting its silvery glow?

'Cause as my light seems near
Despite my perceived proximity, I remain just as distant and unattainable as ever

But the light shines nowhere
Regardless of how much I search for illumination, I remain lost in darkness

Did you feel the cold wings fly?
Did you encounter a sense of dread that left you feeling cold and uneasy?

Did you see the dawn of blood?
Did you witness the start of a vicious, bloody conflict?

She was amazing Carmela, caramel complexion
She possessed an alluring beauty, with a skin tone akin to the sweet, smooth caramel confection

Think God brought em into my life as a suggestion
I believe that divine intervention played a role in bringing her into my existence

We click, I like mink, she like iced out rings
Our personalities and preferences complemented each other well, with me liking opulent fur coats and her preferring glitzy jewelry

The finer things in life, together we share drinks
We indulged in the luxuries of life and savored each other's company over drinks

Vodka and cranberry, my little cherry
We enjoyed sipping on the classic vodka and cranberry cocktail, with her being my sweet little accessory

If I got luck she will fill up my commissary
If I lucked into a windfall, she would generously contribute to my commissary account

It was matching, I felt the bomb between us
We were a perfectly-matched pair, with an explosive chemistry between us

She was the jelly to my peanuts, Mars to Venus
I was the grounded one while she was the more emotional, intuitive one - together, we had a dynamic like peanut butter and jelly or the planets Mars and Venus

The earth to my sun, moon and stars we added up
She was my solid ground that grounded all the celestial objects in my life, making us a powerful team

Mathematically, it’s like I had a bad habit
Despite knowing the potential consequences, I couldn't help but be addicted to her

Bitch you knew my lifestyle, check of a crime boss
She was well aware of the criminal aspects of my lifestyle, being in a relationship with a high-ranking mobster

She would hide my guns in the house then lie to the task force
She would conceal my weapons in our home and deceive law enforcement if questioned

Finish my sentence, do my exact frame of mind
She knew me so well that she could anticipate and complete my thoughts for me

Knew everything I had was hers and she was mine
We shared everything - my possessions were hers as much as mine and vice versa

We were crazy in love, couldn’t get enough of each other
We were deeply and passionately in love, constantly craving each other's presence

The center of attraction, we were made for one another
We were the focal point of attention wherever we went and it felt like we were destined to be together

Nah, don’t even fall for that corkazoid
No, don't be fooled by her - she's not what she seems (corkazoid - slang for a white woman)

She got the drink blazed, try and turn into a android
She spiked your drink to make you more susceptible to manipulation and control

She not yo peanut butter, more like a fuckin' nut case
She's not the perfect complement to you, but rather a crazy and unstable individual

You’re a grouper, that De Lucas mob brought you to place
You're simply a pawn in the De Lucas mob's game, being used to get them closer to their ultimate goal

They blowing trains on a beating rate, come in her face
They're engaging in multiple drug deals at a rapid pace, with her being a key player in facilitating them

They got the drop on you sun, you a fuckin' disgrace
They have the upper hand on you and you're failing as a leader for letting this happen

You think God sent her? I’d ask the devil instead
You're delusional for thinking that she was divinely sent to you - it's more likely that she's working with the devil himself to bring you down

They got plans for you Ton, they want you dead dead dead
The De Lucas mob has a clear agenda in mind for you and it involves your death

So get rid of that cherry popper, she mad poison through pa, carajo
You need to get rid of her, she's a dangerous and venomous presence in your life

They bout to bring the poison
They're about to set their plan of attack in motion

Yea Thunder, De Lucas mob want yo head on the platter
The De Lucas mob is gunning for you and your head is their ultimate prize

It don’t matter, some of yo dreams is gonna shatter
Regardless of what you do, some of your aspirations and dreams are bound to fall apart

They tryin' to get at you, she got you caught in the rapture
The De Lucas mob is after you and she's got you trapped in her spell, making you vulnerable

Nigga wake up, darling you done made for one another
Wake up and realize that she's not the right person for you - despite what you may think, you're not meant to be together

She a snake, mogy gone, get yo sprayed rubber
She's a treacherous person and you need to move on and protect yourself (sprayed rubber - slang for a gun)

It’s a set-up, seen it before, Doofy got wet up
This is clearly a setup, I've witnessed similar situations before and it never ends well (Doofy - slang for a hapless or foolish person)

Nah you paranoid, letting yo mind get the best of you
No, you're just being paranoid and letting your thoughts run wild with unfounded fears

She would never set me up or lace my drink
She could never be capable of such duplicity and would never drug your drink

Watch how you talkin', you know what? You heatin' the mink
Be careful with what you're saying, you're getting yourself worked up and making the situation worse

You dead wrong, confusion help with one of yo hoes
You're incorrect in your suspicions and your confusion has led you to incorrectly identify someone as being against you

She’s erratic, that chick, believe me
She's unpredictable and unstable, trust me on this

A nigga knows I’m the el capitan, put this whole squad together
As the leader of this group, I've assembled the best team possible to tackle any obstacle

Keep talkin' bro, I put one in yo leather
Keep talking and I'll be forced to shoot you

Ball cap, Logan to do the hit, now that’s better
I'll put on a baseball cap and have Logan carry out the hit, making it less obvious and more effective
