Guess what

When's nothing else or for me to do

And if aint you i have been thinking to shelter
I been sinking your favourite second best when i do
I'm not the savior that you prayed for

I'm your scape grow up my lover gay
Crap your call i'll be this fold up
You and me boy we we're born to fly

So i'll be carefull how i play this
This jesus on your neckleace
Elvis on your playlist your're so
Cool

Take me to your backdoor ill be the boy you wanted to soon
