FOREIGN EXCHANGE

A very special day

A very special date

Highline Ballroom

Two thousand and eight

We saw Foreign Exchange

You ordered us chicken wings

And tipped for it in change

We was just city kids with immaculate taste

Little did I know the typical Taurus is vain

Back then we only had IM's to exchange (Facts)

What they know 'bout prepaid?

What they know 'bout phone cards?

The only way to call yard

The only way we gon' connect

Is if you talk from your heart

What's an ice box to a igloo keepin' it hot?

What's a nice box of chocolates when you fuck up?

Chillin' in my chanclas ain't tryna compromise

You outside living reckless hitting on my line

Dudе from the alligator Mauri toe Apollo sign

He usеd to be like, "You eccentric, ma

With this mango island twist"

Hardly seen a gnarly queen like me

Outside a comic clip

Frontin' on me hard

Couldn't even stop

Fallin' for me hard

Craving the opposite, yeah

All these years

Thought I wasn't a polished bitch

Now you apologing

Man understand he ain't have a chance

No matter how nice his pants was

No matter the bands in tandem

He just wanted Jimmy Neutron

From me on his futon

Till' he met a new chick

And drained her electrons

This can't be what I'm attracting

In my purple velour, no velcro, don't latch on

Too smooth, can't attach nah

Slow fashion

Tortoise shell sunglass on

Are you typing about

"Protect the Black woman"?

Don't have a clue, just clout

No kudos thumbs down

Cool post though

Ain't get me dollar slice from Two Bros

When I had the blue mohawk, lime green metro

In my grunge clothes

You ain't wanna walk with me through SoHo

Like my booty stink, and yours don't

Like I do these things you don't

Who took me to the show?

Introduced me to flows, frequencies

A new type of intimacy

You let society say you should be ashamed of me

And all this time I coulda sworn I wasn't made to be

I'm too raw

You all talk

You so soft

But could never love me gently

Or genuinely, or literally

I'm a gem in these streets

I'm a gem in these streets
