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
