The Date
ScienZe Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

Told her that I need her, from her tank top to her Filas
Had me feeling like the world stopped spinning underneath us
Lip gloss poppin′ I was watchin' kinda speechless
I knew she took her time, accessorizing features
Held the clutch like it′s clutch while she stood in front the speakers tryinna' get that good sound
She moves like she's down, head nods like the music asking questions
Sipping on a drink as it mirrors her reflection
Glass of perfection, Ode to the music
Baby don′t stop don′t stop let us lose it
Nothing really matters but the patter that we're dancing
Nothing as important as this moment that we′re handed
I'mma have to grasp it, waist-line moving like some vinyl, so classic
Played with no scratches, must be an actress playing all the parts becoming part of me
So lemme act right, pardon me

Woke up with the sun in my eye
And now you standin′ right in front of me this must be the sky
Girl you shine so rightly, got me gone slightly
I feel like im yours, please tread lightly
It's too soon for the honesty, yes
And I ain′t into playin' games I gave my sneakers a rest
But see I had to come and tell me what you do to my world
I mean I've seen a lot of fishes but you must be a pearl
And I′m tryinna know your number by the end of tonight
And if I can′t then it's cool, I remember your light
So let′s dance for a little, laugh cuz we're blessed
Play it close for the slow jams and let me feel your chest
I can hold you like I need you, and for this one record I can say I′ll never leave you
No matter what you been through, no matter what you been through

With a love like 5 minutes old
It takes no time for this moment to go
I'm glad I met ya′, hopefully you feelin' the same
Let's order up another, you can tell me your name

With a love like 5 minutes old
It takes no time when you′re dealing with souls
I′m glad I met ya', hopefully you feelin′ the same
Like the same kinda vibe to want the same last name

You had me at the intro, how you carried yourself
This might sound a little vain, but you should marry yourself
I mean wow, the whole aura was like bling-blaow
Meanwhile I'm lost inside my daydreams to say things now
What would she see in me?
Lonely hearted, I′m only an artist with the world as my easel, guess I don't think realistically
Spend all my remaining days showing you just how careful God was when he bared you
Let me know if that scares you
Queen, I′ll prepare you, spare you the theatrics
Just, open your mind and treat these clouds like a mattress
And, give me a chance to learn more of who you are
Be the ying to my yang, or the window to my wall
You'll be the reason I see the world from a better view
And know the pain I may cause isn't intentional
I only want the best for you, but can′t claim perfection
Some people call them flaws, I say it′s image misconception
Connections that would make the biggest lovers glow green in the face
But they can only admire the love between
I even contemplate on which finger should that ring hold
Some hot chocolate over Nat King Cole
Doesn't that seem so, unforgettable?
Kettle shoot blowing out the steam onto the windows, write our thoughts out together




You can sign on that dotted line, address it to that pedestal
And I can have a field of roses, sent to you

This is hip hop!!! Feeling this joint a lot (and I am mad that I am late about hearing this.) This definitely has a Slum Village meets Floetry vibe (at first I thought that was Marsha Ambrosious from Floetry on the vocals)
