[00:00.00]This Girl I Know - Oddisee
[00:11.34]I got a lover but it's complicated
[00:13.09]We've been off and on trying to keep the fire warm
[00:15.54]But a brother jaded
[00:16.82]I've even moved up to brooklyn so that we could bond
[00:18.96]Feel like I see her even less then when I lived away and
[00:21.53]Suffocated by the city she ain't ever home
[00:23.90]She in la or any other place that ain't my arms
[00:26.66]Can't say she cheating because she was never mine alone
[00:29.10]I just think I'm better for her than the ** dealers and the lie tellers
[00:32.38]Yeah am I wise but I could be wrong
[00:34.33]Please don't let be
[00:35.17]I gave her time and a half while others get her free
[00:37.77]And I ain't one to compare but what I see
[00:39.97]Is her in a lesser form with anybody instead of me
[00:42.68]We on a different page same play different stage
[00:45.02]Waited on the street to say hi
[00:46.60]I must have missed the wave await her call to come by
[00:49.28]I know this girl around town
[00:50.70]She cool she cool she cool
[00:53.06]She coming around round
[00:54.24]When no one around round
[00:55.79]She come through come through she come through
[00:58.11]We messing around round
[00:59.53]Already for now now
[01:00.87]We do what we do we do
[01:03.02]But we know that for now now
[01:04.61]Is only for now now
[01:06.10]We through we through we through
[01:08.15]But I still lover her though
[01:11.81]We've come a long way
[01:13.07]Even though she keep me at arm's length
[01:14.74]Over her head and she responds late
[01:16.45]I place the blame on all them clowns that she round
[01:18.66]Because intelligence ain't part of their style
[01:20.41]Smarten up dumb it down
[01:21.57]Drop a jewel rocking jewelry
[01:22.80]The way you move done parted the crowd
[01:24.70]And I know you did the knowledge before admitted to college
[01:27.44]So why you hanging round with this foolery
[01:29.36]The same lame's bragging how he bagged you dorm rooms
[01:32.14]Done tried to flip the mattress acting like he adore you
[01:34.34]Same bed if it ain't all true
[01:36.51]Why am I here
[01:37.59]You know they lying through the locks and the beards
[01:39.42]Although I'm faded I'm as sharp as they is
[01:41.19]'Cause he ain't seen a barbershop in some years
[01:42.94]Don't mean that he the one to lead us when apocalypse near
[01:45.19]You know I'm right you see the light in the days
[01:47.54]Final calling me I'll see you tonight aye
[01:49.69]I know this girl around town
[01:51.04]She cool she cool she cool

[02:04.63]Is only for now now
[02:05.89]We through we through we through
[02:08.52]But I still lover her though
[02:10.25]You ever love somebody that didn't reciprocate it
[02:12.29]But they give you just enough to keep waiting
[02:14.29]Thinking maybe they might see you how you see them with patience
[02:16.68]Will come say when they quit faking on the heart that you gave them
[02:19.45]But do you give it for gift or for the feeling itself
[02:21.66]If nothing's in it for you would you still be willing to help
[02:24.23]I think my love know me more than I give credit for
[02:26.66]She made me greater even though I tell her that I'm better for her
[02:29.21]But she done heard it before and she gone hear it again
[02:31.69]It's plenty men that tried to holler in metaphor
[02:34.22]I'd love to talk to her but I talk through her
[02:36.67]We speak our minds the same time and so I let her off
[02:39.08]Am I the side piece or the main squeeze
[02:41.18]Either way I'm filled with pride when I hear her thank me
[02:43.62]So she can come and go as she please
[02:45.51]She leave me 'lone but not in moments of need
[02:47.40]Ain't only mine and maybe so it should be
[02:49.39]I know this girl around town
[02:51.04]She cool she cool she cool
[02:52.91]She coming around round
[02:54.67]When no one around round
[02:55.78]She come through come through she come through
[02:58.05]We messing around round
[02:59.51]Already for now now
[03:00.84]We do what we do we do
[03:02.88]But we know that for now now
[03:04.72]Is only for now now
