We Can Be More

Yeah you stepped in, God healed my heartache

And this is way past lust, no prom date

And we can be a sweet aroma, Scrangie

And they can call us outcast, Andre

You are on my team even when I ain’t ballin’
The partner supports the artist through good times and bad.

You are patient with your boy in the worst case

I was like 9/11, the worst date

You been runnin’ through my mind, first place

Those other girls they weak like Thursday

I’m done with that player’s life, born again

We’ll be joined in body and soul

Heart and mind, money and time

If she’s chocolate or vanilla or you’re butterscotch crème

You got me feelin’ like a 6th grader, that’s fo’ sho’

It’s hard to stay pure in this dirty world

Everybody wants them a little dirty girl

You can be Coretta, I can be your king

And you ain’t gotta wonder in your mind

God’s on our side, I see the ribbon in the sky

Make love, not war like a terrorist

My playboy past is so embarrassing

But your love got me goin’ crazy, call a therapist

Yeah, girl you know it’s a problem when

You got me feelin’ lines from the Songs of Solomon

Tell her we can be more, lady we can be more
