Take Me Higher
R&B Divas Lyrics

Yeah
Expressing agreement or affirmation

Take me back to when you still loved me girl
Bring me back to the time when your love for me was still present

Take me back to when it was you and I against the world
Return to the period when we faced challenges together as a united couple

Yeah money changed the way that you look at me
The presence of wealth altered the perception you hold towards me

Money changed the way that I make you happy
The acquisition of wealth transformed the methods through which I bring you joy

From hugs and kisses
Transitioning away from physical displays of affection

To rugs and pictures
Reverting to focusing on material possessions and superficial symbols of happiness

Now miss ain't the shit you prefer to be Mrs
Now, being unmarried is no longer your desired state

Wanna pay some other bitches to do the dishes
Desiring to hire other women to handle domestic chores

And clean the mirrors
And to ensure the mirrors remain spotless

So you can see you clearer
Enabling you to have a more distinct view of yourself

Can't remember the last time that you shed a tear
Unable to recall the most recent moment when you expressed sadness

Or held me near
Or embraced me closely

When you felt fear
During times of fear or vulnerability

Take me back to when you still loved me girl
Bring me back to the time when your love for me was still present

Take me back to when it was you and I against the world
Return to the period when we faced challenges together as a united couple

Yeah fuck the Joneses
Disregard the social pressures to compete with or compare ourselves to others

Fuck how big their home is
Disregard the size or grandeur of their homes

Remember the times when we were almost homeless
Recall the moments when we faced the possibility of lacking a stable place to live

Remember Cow and Chicken and Cousin Boneless
Recall the shared memories of watching specific television shows

Remember having sex when you had to moan less
Recall the intimate moments where you had to maintain a lower volume

Cause people lived around us and it was inappropriate
Because of the proximity of others, it was deemed inappropriate to be too loud

We used to empty cigarettes and put some dope in it
We used to empty cigarettes and fill them with drugs

Cause I wasn't that good at fucking rolling it
Because I lacked skill in rolling cigarettes with drugs

And you always coughed when we started smoking it
And you consistently experienced coughing fits when we began smoking

I like to reminisce on all this stupid shit
I enjoy reflecting on all these foolish and trivial matters

But if my mind had a remote you'd probly mute this shit
If my mind had a control function like a remote, you would likely silence these memories

I'd put it on repeat like somebody looped this shit
I would replay these memories like they were continuously being looped

And laugh at it all day like a fucking lunatic
And find amusement in these memories throughout the day, appearing crazy

Take me back to when you still loved me girl
Bring me back to the time when your love for me was still present

Take me back to when it was you and I against the world
Return to the period when we faced challenges together as a united couple

Yeah back then I would swap all those good times
In the past, I would willingly exchange all those enjoyable moments

Just for a couple motherfucking dollar signs
Merely for the pursuit of financial gain

Now I'd do the opposite just to see you smile
Now, I would do the complete opposite in order to witness your happiness

And all the walks we took extended by a couple miles
And all the walks we used to take, lasting for longer distances

I used to laugh to the bank cause I was broke as a joke
In the past, I would find humor in the fact that I had no money

Now walking down the hall feels like I'm doing cardio
Now, simply walking down the hallway feels physically demanding

And I would do anything for a couple smokes
I would do anything for a few cigarettes

But now I won't do shit unless you got a pot of gold
However, now I refuse to do anything unless there is a significant financial reward

When I couldn't take you out to eat I used to eat you out
When I couldn't afford to take you out for meals, I would pleasure you orally

Smoke a doobie, get a movie and just chill on the couch
Smoke marijuana, choose a film, and relax together on the couch

Now we go to places we would only dream about
Now, we have the opportunity to visit locations we previously could only imagine

Making reservations to put food inside our mouths
Arranging reservations at restaurants to satisfy our hunger

And the conversation's dryer than the bread that they put down
The conversation has become devoid of excitement or interest, similar to the dry bread served at restaurants

And I got nothing in common with anyone around
I have no shared interests or similarities with the people around us

All they do is smile while I try not to frown
While everyone around us appears content, I struggle to hide my sadness

You got crocodile tears and I got tears of a clown
You display insincere and fake tears, while I mask my true emotions behind a facade of humor

Uh
An exclamation used to indicate uncertainty or hesitation

Take me back to when you still loved me girl
Bring me back to the time when your love for me was still present

Take me back to when it was you and I against the world
Return to the period when we faced challenges together as a united couple
