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
