Thirsty
Shekhinah Lyrics

All my ladies know we've been down a crazy road
The women I'm with have experienced a difficult journey.

Turning back to paper roll
I'm revisiting what was once a simple situation.

Where two can grow, and make a whole yeah
Relationships can make us greater together than we are alone.

I thought that we had established this long ago
I believed that we had already reached an agreement on something.

Equality being the goal
We aim for fairness and balance in our relationships.

But why do I still find myself sip, sipping on my silence
I still feel compelled to keep quiet, despite our intentions for equality.

Taking in all your violence
I'm constantly absorbing your anger and aggression.

I'm too scared, to let a man know what I feel in my soul and
I'm afraid to speak openly about my emotions to a man.

I ain't really that slow and
I'm not as naive as I may appear.

This is all just for show and
This facade of silence is simply an act.

I really know what you are and no, I ain't letting it go
I clearly see who you are, and I'm not willing to overlook it.

I think it's time that you know
I believe it's necessary for you to understand.

Fall in love with every piece of me
Embrace every aspect of who I am.

Let me take you in deep with me
Allow me to share my innermost self with you.

I'm no average night
I'm not an ordinary experience.

I'm the time of your life
I'll provide an unforgettable experience.

Call me thirsty babe
You can call me eager or hungry for what I want.

Thirsty, thirsty baby
I'm extremely desirous of what I'm pursuing.

Come with all the shade
If you bring negativity or criticism, you're not welcome.

With this music, shit's my grave
I'm fully committed to my career and music.

We blow you up on the daily
We continuously boost our own success and image.

If you try to play me
If you attempt to deceive or manipulate me.

That's just what I do, that's just what I do
I respond by defending and standing up for myself.

Ooh I don't play in the major league
I'm not looking for fame or fortune on a grand scale.

I know the brothers know that
The men in my life understand my intentions and goals.

They tried to run away from paying me
Some have attempted to shortchange me or avoid fulfilling their commitments.

And once again the man takes the lead
Men often take charge in our society and relationships.

I guess I'll just take a backseat and sip on my tea
I'll passively sit back and observe, while maintaining my composure.

Try keep it on my feet but it's just what I do
I try to stay grounded, but my nature will assert itself.

I just act the fool
I sometimes play dumb or act silly, but it's a facade.

Call me what you want
You can give me any label or name you desire.

I ain't running with those dudes I don't got a wolf pack
I don't associate with certain individuals or groups.

Ain't nobody ever had my back
I've never had a reliable source of support.

And no, you ain't the finest DJ in my land
I don't think too highly of your abilities or status.

You think I need you to do what I do?
You believe I'm dependent on you for my success.

No, that ain't no fair
That's an unfair assumption or accusation.

Just keep your racks, I know I'll be cool
Keep your money, I'll be just fine without it.

9 out of 10 times
Most of the time.

You know that I've been more than good to you
You're aware of the positive actions and efforts I've made towards you.

God knows the times I'd let it slide
There have been numerous occasions where I've ignored or forgiven your faults.

You do no right, you shed no light
You're in the wrong and not contributing anything positive.

All my girls gone pull up and hashtag your ass
My female friends will come to my aid and call you out on social media.

Just like the trash we ain't trying to have
We don't want anyone who is negative or worthless around us.

Need more brothers just like my dad
I would prefer to have more male role models who embody the traits of my father.

But I'm not here to brag about the type
My intention is not to boast or show off.

Of understanding, he gave me of a man
My father taught me how to perceive and interact with men.

'Cause I know you struggle to hear a girl who don't got her hands out, or her ass out so
I recognize that you have difficulty accepting a woman who is independent and self-reliant.

I'ma leave this here so you could figure it out, yeah
I'll let you ponder it and come to your own conclusions.

I'm the time of your life
I'll provide an unforgettable experience.

Call me, call me
You can contact me however you want.
