Role Reversal

Role reversal, yeah dats what dis feels like,
what happened 2 those good ol days forget whos wrong or right 
ppl actually cared bout having an undastanding, 
but despite how da roles have changed like Monica Im still standing...
strong, firm on solid ground but question? 
If da roles are reversed whos gonna hold me down 
if Im lost how am I suppose 2 find her, am I actually seeing 20/20 
or am I blinded by dis worlds reflecting glare tru, 
life aint no crystal stare & I aint lookin 4 da sweet life 
just sum1 2 share my world wit, u haven't truly been kissed 
till u felt da emotion behind it, what we call tru love 
is actually timeless no motives behind it just takin it 1 day at a time, 
yeah da roles have definitely been reversed 
its like da good men & women have been cursed becuz 
even tho we carry immense light God still saw it fit 2 disable our sight 
when it came 2 da relationships we had no business in, 
I still seek what ppl back in da day were lookin 4, 
but where dey stopped da search I never lost my hunger for it
