Be Mine - Soc

Eyes wide open, ain’t seen it yet

Time’s ticking and I’m thinking — «where she at?»

A swing and a miss.

See you can line ‘em up

Keep on trying but can’t find the one (to be mine)

Just want one girl to be mine / Only one to be mine

But ‘till then girl you can be mine / But only ‘till I find the one to be mine

— Good Intentions

Yeah — so now I’m pushing thirty

Times passes, I’m still searching

Never into rushing kind of in a hurry

It’s like the same convo I keep on conversing

What you do, and where you from, and where you working?

You know them other code words for what you earning?

I’m not nervous, but small talk worth it?

Ever married?

Got kids?

You know the standard version

How many times your heart been broken while you searching

A 2-step kind of girl or do you like to twerk it?

This dating getting old — I’m done with flirting

This faith and wait thing quite simply ain’t working

You see I’m trying to — but yo I’m sick of waiting

And all I hear is Genesis 2:18

He said it’s not good that man be alone

And though I’m ready — I don’t foresee it homes (I got my)

I see the perfect storm brewing, we both are impatient

It’s been a little while and we both tired of waiting

And since it’s been bleak I intend to make it useful

Especially if the past paths indicate the future

She shows a playful smile I give a glance of interest

And all the signals pointing to her welcoming an intimate

Type of interaction … ain’t no coincidence

I play along — this game — girl I’m thinking ‘Girl I invented this!'

Yeah I know better, but see it’s fun to play

A two train crash course — can’t turn away

«Unstoppable» — call me Denzel baby

She takes another sip, fam this female’s crazy

Now she ready to leave

She clutch her bag and she say that she coming with me

And what am I supposed to do?

— she got me anticipating

I’m telling you — the things we do when we sick of waiting

See eventually, she’ll reveal the big misses

They all want a bad boy — ‘86 Pistons

Or a Sean Combs image (take that, take that

Clearly I ain’t found her yet it’s been slim pickings

I’m on that soul mate lookout, I haven’t noticed her

And by now I’m sure she already spoken for

But then I guess that’d be utopia

And if not that, something close to it I’m hoping for

Where them single ladies at?

That’s where I’m focusing

And yeah I hear you, at the church or the grocery

But odds are they at the club, where I’m supposed to be

Where they might «Come and Talk to Me» — Jodeci

But in the meantime I figure ‘till I see her

I’ll continue messing with these in-betweeners

But as I listen to myself am I this creature?

Truth is I never learned with substitute teachers

See, what was a short term fixing

Out of nowhere becomes boy live with me

Or worse — outside His will or pregnancy

Say Word «word» Word work wit me

I mean since we ain’t met her don’t mean that we don’t persist

I mean we can’t see God don’t mean that He don’t exist

For Adam Eve was the helper fit for him

Quite simply I’m trying to find the right forum (to keep my)
