Complexity - The Roots, Jill Scott

I’ve been wondering about the Complexity

Of what we have it shouldn’t be More

Just can’t see

More

(Black Thought)

You’re physically in this, but how can we tell

If we was meant to be in bliss if you’re not mentally as well

This energy you’re sending me is tricky as hell

Usually it’s like a 50/50 we can take an L Before we start things

At this point being apart brings

The feeling of somebody plucking at your heart-strings

I know it probably shouldn’t feel like this

But any other woman I see is in your likeness

It’s from your cheekbones…

To your lips…

To your curves…

To your deep moans…

To that walk…

To your words…

Your love feelin' like a breakdown on the verve

First we on good terms, then you’re on my last nerve

Got my back just aching

My Shoes is all tight

It’s too complex when we choose to do it right

It’s wrong

One minute you a soldier — strong

Then you turn around talking 'bout it’s over and gone.

(i swear to god…)

(Black Thought)

When your boyfriend’s in town it’s bound to be trouble, love

His name Black and he known to be a lover of Gettin' it on with my smokers jacket on Eyes racin' back and forth

Listening to Chaka Kahn

Tryin' to Figure the cause

Why you always hackin' off

Like I’m slackin' off

Maybe our signals getting crossed

What the case, love?

You feel like you makin' a waste of Your precious time?

— You need to get a taste of Some space to breathe, a moment as friends

We shoulda felt ourselves slippin' into it again

''cause it’s like

Off and on, on and off

Passion — Lost and found, found and lost

Clashin', askin' for nothing but understanding

Your heart’s made of glass, use care in handling

Girl — all-in-all I never leave you stranded

''cause my respect you commanded

(you figure it out…)

I used to come into the party

And stand around

''cause I was kinda too shy to really get down

I used to, play the corner

And watch the scene

Deep down, knowing I wanted, to find me a queen

And I can feel that in my stomach

And up in my chest

Because I knew a lot of women, and some was fresh

But then I found you, girl and just like me You had a heart that was yearning to be set free

Now listen

See you and me need to take the time

To erase any doubt that’s inside your mind

Its not a mountain that I’m ever too tired to climb

And who’s counting?

— But I know at least a thousand times

I let you know I’m here for you, care for you, and confide in you

Break bread, share with you and provide for you

And that’s full time — it’s no 9 to 5 with you

That’s why I’m tryin' to work it out with you

(Let's go.)
