Lyrics
0:00Every second every minute man I swear that she can get it
0:03Say if you a bad bitch put your hands up high
0:07Hands up high hands up high
0:10Tell 'em dim the lights down right now put me in the mood
0:15I'm talkin' 'bout dark room perfume
0:18Go go
0:20In the thundering rain
0:21I recognize your fragrance hol' up you ain't never gotta say shit uh
0:25And I know your taste is a little bit mmm high maintenance uh
0:28Everybody else basic you live life on an everyday basis
0:32With poetic justice poetic justice
0:35If I told you that a flower bloomed in a dark room
0:37Would you trust it?
0:38I mean I write poems in these songs dedicated to you when
0:43You're in the mood for empathy it's blood in my pen
0:46Better yet where your friends and 'em?
0:48I really wanna know you all
0:50I really wanna show you off **** that
0:52Pour up plenty of champagne cold nights when you curse this name
0:56You called up your girlfriends and y'all curled in that little bitty Range
0:59I heard that
1:00She wanna go and party she wanna go and party
1:03Nigga don't approach her with that Atari
1:05Nigga that ain't good game homie sorry
1:07They say conversation rule a nation I can tell
1:10But I could never right my wrongs 'less I write it down for real PS
1:15An-an-an-an-anytime
1:17You can get it you can get it
1:19You can get it you can get it
1:20And any place
1:21And I know just know just know just know just know just what you want
1:25Poetic justice put it in a song alright
1:29An-an-an-an-anytime
1:31You can get it you can get it
1:33You can get it you can get it
1:35And any place
1:35And I know just know just know just know just know just what you want
1:39Poetic justice put it in a song alright
1:44In the thundering rain
1:46I really hope you play this 'cause oh girl you test my patience
1:49With all these seductive photographs
1:51And all these one-off vacations you've been takin'
1:54Clearly a lot for me to take in it don't make sense
1:56Young East African girl you too busy fuckin' with your other man
2:00I was tryna put you on game put you on a plane
2:01Take you and your mama to the motherland I could do it
2:04Maybe one day when you figure out you're gonna need someone
2:06When you figure out it's alright here in the city
2:08And you don't run from where we come from
2:10That sound like poetic justice poetic justice
2:14You were so new to this life but goddamn you got adjusted
2:17I mean I write poems in these songs dedicated to the fun sex
2:21Your natural hair and your soft skin and your big ass in that sundress ooh
2:26Good God what you doin' that walk for?
2:28When I see that thing move
2:29I just wish we would fight less and we would talk more
2:32And they say communication save relations I can tell
2:35But I can never right my wrongs unless I write 'em down for real PS
2:40An-an-an-an-anytime
2:42You can get it you can get it
2:44You can get it you can get it
2:45And any place
2:46And I know just know just know just know just know just what you want
2:49Poetic justice put it in a song alright
2:54An-an-an-an-anytime
2:56You can get it you can get it
2:58You can get it you can get it
2:59And any place
3:00And I know just know just know just know just know just what you want
3:04Poetic justice put it in a song alright
3:09In the thundering rain
3:11Every time I write these words they become a taboo
3:14Makin' sure my punctuation curve every letter here's true
3:18Livin' my life in the margin and that metaphor was proof
3:21I'm talkin' poetic justice poetic justice
3:24If I told you that a flower bloomed in a dark room
3:27Would you trust it?
3:28I mean you need to hear this
3:30Love is not just a verb it's you lookin' in the mirror
3:34Love is not just a verb it's you lookin' for it maybe
3:36Call me crazy we can both be insane
3:39A fatal attraction is common and what we have common is pain
3:42I mean you need to hear this
3:44Love is not just a verb and I can see power steerin'
3:48Sex drive when you swerve I want that interference
3:50It's coherent I can hear it mhm
3:53That's your heartbeat it either caught me or it called me mhm
3:56Read slow and you'll find gold mines in these lines
4:00Sincerely yours truly and right before you go blind PS
4:04An-an-an-an-anytime
4:06You can get it you can get it
4:08You can get it you can get it
4:10And any place
4:10And I know just know just know just know just know just what you want
