Love Letters
The Perceptionists feat. Phonte of Little Brother Lyrics

I knew it from the moment that I saw you
I felt an instant attraction to you when I first saw you.

You was just what I need
I felt like you were exactly what I was looking for.

See you the second grade teacher for my home boys seed
You're the teacher of my friend's child who is in second grade.

He came to pick 'im up the other day and I was in the whip
I was in the car when my friend picked up his child from school.

It's like I realized for the first time what beauty was.
You made me realize what true beauty is for the first time.

And all of this was even before I peeped the Gluteus-
I was already attracted to you before I even noticed your physical features.

Maximum anxiety played the shy role
I was extremely anxious and nervous around you.

Gave you a hello and a subtle eye role
I greeted you with a simple hello and a shy look in my eyes.

Shorties had you occupied though, a class cook out
You were busy with the kids at a class cookout.

They wanna do the face paint and fried dough
The kids wanted to get their faces painted and have some fried dough.

Well nice almost meetin'
It was nice to almost meet you.

I wish you woulda heard my greetin'
I wish you had heard my greeting.

And then maybe we could go out on the weekend
Maybe we could go out on a date over the weekend.

You sounded so articulate
I was impressed by how well-spoken you were.

I want some time to pick your brain about a bunch a different shit
I would love to have a conversation with you and learn more about your thoughts and ideas.

I'm lookin' for a partner, to start the
I'm looking for a partner to start something great with.

Greatest story ever told by any living author
I want to create the greatest love story ever told.

And I see you fittin' right in my zone
I think we would be a great match.

Your good with the kids and got none of your own
You're great with children even though you don't have any of your own.

See my homie put me on, to the fact that you single
My friend let me know that you're not in a relationship.

and maybe a little lonely so I can't waste time
I don't want to waste any time since you might be feeling a bit lonely.

see your body movement's kinda like a fly baseline
The way you move your body is like a rhythm in a song.

and for you to be alone is just a goddamn crime
It's a shame that someone as wonderful as you is single.

I got a feelin' you and I
I have a feeling that you and I would be great together.

Would make some fly mates
We would be a great match.

But maybe we should start with a date
But maybe we should go out on a date and see how things go.

Hey pretty lady I'm a shy guy
I'm quite shy around you, but I want to express my feelings.

Na that's a lie, closet freak with his head in the sky
Actually, I'm not that shy, I can be a bit of a freak sometimes, and I have big dreams.

No I can't write that and she'll never write back and I need a plan of attack
I can't express exactly how I feel because I'm worried you won't respond, so I need to come up with a strategy.

I comin' to you from a vulnerable place
I'm being honest and vulnerable with you.

You don't know my name or my face
You don't know who I am yet.

My heart, my hopes or dreams that I chase
I have big aspirations and dreams that I'm chasing.

We met once in passing
We only met briefly.

You unleashed a passion
You unknowingly ignited a passion within me.

I didn't know I had
I wasn't aware of this passion before meeting you.

Then I'm *wanting for action
Now I'm feeling more compelled to take action and reach out to you.

"Hi my name is Jeff!"
I introduced myself to you.

"Hi Jeff I'm." (oh my god she can't be real, hide how you feel)
You introduced yourself to me, but I had to hide how I was feeling.

Extended my hand to greet you
I shook your hand in greeting.

Feelin' see through
I felt exposed and vulnerable.

Our palms met and I feel I felt your complete truth
There was an intense connection between us when we shook hands.

Your energy traveled through my arm causin' sensory alarm
Your energy affected me in a really powerful way.

The life I knew before I met you is gone
You've changed my life since I met you.

Let me be calm
I need to calm down and collect my thoughts.

Here's a little bit about me
Let me tell you a bit about myself.

I travel the world as M-C
I'm a rapper who tours world-wide.

My intimacy is in my poetry and lurks behind closed doors
I express my deepest emotions through my lyrics and it's typically hidden from the public.

And in my head I'm fightin' my own wars
I'm constantly battling my own internal conflicts.

I feel I got a purpose and a cause, Cause I lay awake at night
I have a sense of purpose in life and it keeps me up at night.

My eyesight seems to be addicted to *gloomy light
I'm drawn to dark, melancholy themes.

An introvert kid, move out and be converted
I used to be quite shy and introverted, but I've come out of my shell.

Loved, known and nurtured
I long to be loved, understood, and supported.

Observed with a little intrigue, inspired when I feel fatigue
I observe the world around me with curiosity and find inspiration even when I'm tired.

A simple man with simple needs or so I believe
I try to live a simple life and not want too much, even though I don't always succeed.

What I feel about you
I have intense feelings for you.

Those are secrets that I'm clinging to tight
I'm keeping those feelings hidden and guarded right now.

I can only pray and hope that I'm right
I can only hope that my feelings for you are reciprocated somehow.

People search for this feeling til their gray
People will spend their whole lives searching for the kind of feelings I have for you.

So I couldn't let you slip away
I can't let an opportunity to be with you pass me by.

Please give me a call some day
I hope you'll consider reaching out to me someday.

You don't even know I exist
You're not even aware of my existence.

But I want you to
But I want you to know who I am and how I feel.

And that's why I'm writin' you this
That's why I'm expressing myself through this letter.

Love Letter, Love
This is a love letter to you.

A Love letter, Love a Love Letter
This is a love letter to you.

Love a Love a Love Letter
This is a love letter to you.

Love a Love Letter
This is a love letter to you.
