Only At the Stem

Words tell a story But tears make those words supernova I'm here to listen I told ya And Friday you took my ears and poured Poured out every content and drop And I know there's more At 3clock you ddnt want to stop Jermaine took Johns spot And Unc took ours Thought about the magical 3 hours we had As we retreated to our respectable cars It was like we picked up were we left off in August If there was an audience they would applaud us But its just us only You've tried to confide in others But you want me And I'm here to tell you I care Hope that makes you less lonely Hugging you made me high Made me joyous Made me fly Made me appreciate everything that's we've been through There's good in you And I see it Warm hearted But you're anemic If it happened in the past That's where we'll keep it Cause nonetheless We've made progress You're still one of my favorites Just being honest Honest to you in everyday And my old motto used to be If I see a Santa Fe It'll be a good day And lately we've had some good ones I'm on cabinet And you're on buns Dynamic duo Chelie Chel would know I'm still here to catch you emotionally and physically Just in case in case you topple Other than my mom You're my next role model I admire the mom you are to your babies Still your babies Even though it's been awhile since they've had a bottle Ive heard so much about them Will you let your daughter get a dog Is your son touching the rim If there's anyone that can withstand the deep depths of you I'm the one that can swim Swim with you Even when the water gets grim Our relationship is like a flower We're just as the stem Stem into something great Cause you don't provoke me You push me Put in some hotcakes And then go drop some cookies When you started crying There's was no time to be a rookie I had to be a veteran and show up Despite me being 19, 25 Whatever You've mentally pushed me to grip up And I won't let up I enjoy hearing all that you've been through 20 years in the game You've prolly seem all types of food on the McDonald's menu I'm drawn to you There's something in you John told me to tell you hi Thankful for you and him As he would say me and your relationship is growing Into a beautiful flower And we're only at the stem Growing takes time Takes patience Takes maturing It took me understanding in depth What exactly you were enduring And I love to learn Love your language Love to listen I think some of the days you had attitudes Was the days you needed someone to listen I was here the whole time But it took time For us to have our time And we did I hope to have more time soon With this pace Our stem flower will take no time to bloom We both have to power Have the peace Have he porogative To progress the stem grown flower This beautiful plant It is ours And it's just at the stem To show you someone you care You don't have to be kin You don't have to be buddy buddy You have to be willing Cause the Williams getting to work with is fulfilling The Williams and The Lewis Friday was proof we can make a killing I look forward to growing this flower of a relationship Hopefully one day it'll grow past the ceiling I know how you're feeling Feeling like we're growing the speed of your sons lanky limbs But it's more like an extravagant flower That's only reached the stem
