Miracle

[Verse 1]

Before I started gettin' to that money pile

A corner store puppy love, sugar pie, honey child

That always kept the vibe like two eggs, 'pon the sunny side

Promised she would never front and never do me funny style

Funny how I still remember everything I had to do

Used to be magical to walk along the avenue

I was just one of a few, you probably never had a clue

How much I really sacrificеd, it's true, I ain't mad at you

You lived across the tracks, I camе 'cause I cared for you

Put Luster's pink oil moisture in my head for you

I couldn't even dance, I turned into Fred Astaire for you

Tryna stand a chance, layin' out what I would wear for you

On the night before I saw you just to be prepared for it

I keep the conversation inside of my head

Or you wrote your phone number in my palm, now I'm clairvoyant

I could see your heart was right where Cupid had his spare pointed

Upstarts in the blowout, no way that we could know how

Thirty years into the future, it ain't even safe to go out

With all my fliers gone, the sauna can't show up to show out

It's to the past I dedicate what I'm about to pour out, yo

[Interlude]

Lil' bit of liquor for you

[Verse 2]

I said, I still remember all you used to put me through

Swedish Fish and Windmill cookies when we hooky school

All your friends was talkin' 'bout, "That rookie ain't no good for you"

Before we took it through first base, they see me with the crew

And dime drop, had me in that 3:15 time slot

Down at Broad and Morris posted at the 29 stop

Front of those apartments, money with the funny eyes

Got bogarted by some guys tryna rob him out his Izod

Lacoste or Polo, not to be confused with Ralph Lauren

Like it's mischief night, mischievous dudes was out tourin'

Tryna pick a fight or to pimp the system or just livin' life

I be tryna get into some mischief of a different type

We'd stay on the phone like we was grown, if you recall

'Til your pops'd get the chip and then I'd holler at you tomorrow

Makin' mixtapes, Stevie Wonder, Stacy Lattisaw

New Edition, Switch, Patty need some Williams and DeBarge

Driftin' in the dawn, everything was innocent and pure

Fast forward, I know ain't nobody innocent no more

We lost the human connection like the ligament was torn

I'm just reminiscin' back when kissin' wasn't against the law

Listen
