Do you know me

Clear your mind of preconceived notions  
because we're about to set things in motion 
there are a few things that need clarified 
if you want to remain by my side 

Always popping off with what you please 
well let me set your mind at ease 
The things you claim hold little truth 
makes me question what you do 

Wipe the slate clean and free your mind 
look at me with your loved filled eyes 
The die was rolled the void filled up fast 
separating the future from the past 

You thought you knew me & I knew you 
but what we thought just wasn't true 
Clear the turmoil in which you stew 
and see me with eyes anew 

From experiences that were lived  
we both have much love still to give 
At this rate, we are at a draw 
no more entanglements with Johnny Law 

I lack the energy to compete 
with random bimbos from the street 
I am not wanting another man 
No need for you to grandstand 

Helpless whispers in the night 
I only want to do what's right 
My soul is craving righteousness 
and I want for us to do our best 

So shut your eyes and clear your mind 
then open them up and feel the vibes 
Will you ever truly know me 
Let the bad thoughts go and we will both see
