How Real Love Is

Let me start by stating love is not easy Love does not come fast Cause I’m only 21 And honestly I been working my ass off for love Sometimes I think it won’t come So I settle for just a woman’s touch But I’m young I got a lifetime To find What I feel is the right one But it’s a shame cuz I fear the women of my generation Focus solely on payment And skip the need for intelligent conversation The population of material girls Has grown since Madonna And it seems like every girl I knew in high school Is somebody’s baby mama And the rest think a relationship Is all about the drama What happened? What happened to talking? Midnight walking Looking up at the sky Exchanging our goals in life When did it all become a business transaction? Sometimes I think people get married just for the taxes I have yet to meet someone who isn’t easily enraged About another girl looking my way Or hearing “Why dat chick, be all on yo facebook page” I don’t need that I don’t deserve it I mean I'm far from perfect But I’m far from worthless I just ask for a lil more maturity Less insecurity More attention for me Without the need for jewelry I’m just wondering if that’s too much to ask But I have hope that Ill stumble on a girl Whose mind is shaped To handle the weight of a mature relationship That understands the concept of partnership And knows that I do everything to make them happy And will do the same for me So in time I’ll see If there’s hope for my love life just yet And I’m willing to bet She’s out there Just waiting to see just how real Love feels Like me, Just waiting to see how real love is
