The Other Half

[Intro: Tim Maia] Every man deserves a woman Every woman deserves a man So, I'm about to ask I have feel the strange vibration And I had a lot of patience But where is my other half? Can somebody say? Can somebody tell? I love her, will I love her? Can't you hear my pray? Many many days I've wondered, will I wonder? I wonder why she left me I wonder why she left me (Bring it back) I wonder why (Yeah) she left me [Verse 1: Jidenna] I pray for my niggas surviving the pen Demons taking my friends Boys pretending they men Bitch, don't fuck up my zen My homie told me you violated her body And shawty, that put me on ten She beggin' me now to add it to the list of the feelings I gotta keep in Ain't that the root of the drama? How we just lock out the trauma Fighting within, fighting without Fighting, divide it, and conquer Like God didn't make us compatible They wanted to turn us to animals We lynching that Willie Lynch manual But niggas are back from sabbatical (I wonder why) Jaded old men tell a myth to us The reason our family slippin' up 'Cause our women won't submit to us You let a bitch run a crib And other men say it's the bitch in us We dominate to overcompensate Our bravado dripping with the cowardice I'm watching power feeling powerless Like I gotta get my niggas outta this hell, outta this spell From the pill, on the powder, fish scales From a rapper with the loudest tip drills We don't win with no amount of pistols In a battle on the soul I legit first we gotta count our dough Properly waking niggas really on Motherland be like our own property [Chorus: St. Beauty] We can see eye to eye They know it's by design That in the dark we shine And that's the bottom line When we're together, we stay strong But they don't want us to last long We can see eye to eye, we can see eye to eye, yeah (Bring it back) Forgive me for the side I've shown Can't control this other half here on my own I said forgive me for the side I've shown Can't control this other half here on my own, yeah, yeah, yeah [Verse 2: Jidenna] Uh Why she left me, shit got way too messy Show my mask to the world Show my worst to my bestie You a lot, Jidenna Got my Poppa temper Don't fuck with my dinner Touch it, and you die like yeah That's the rage in a age coming to a end 'Cause we must be greater men than we ever been You know, you know we don't break, we don't bend, we resilient They studyin' our genes We the cream de la creme [Chorus: St. Beauty] We can see eye to eye They know it's by design That in the dark we shine And that's the bottom line When we're together, we stay strong But they don't want us to last long We can see eye to eye, we can see eye to eye, yeah Forgive me for the side I've shown (Oh yeah) Can't control this other half here on my own, yeah (Oh yeah) I said forgive me for the side I've shown (Oh yeah) Can't control this other half here on my own, yeah, yeah, yeah [Outro: Mereba] (Yeah) Inside your window Inside your window, remedies A part of you, inside of me Don't forget shedding tears on woman's knee All we need's empathy and this recipe Close your eyes, feel the shoes could fit on your feet, yeah I could see through, to the real you Got the sharp side, like a hawk eye I don't want your skin, but from within Following your eyes with the thick skin Inside your window, ahh Inside your window But ain't it amazing?
