Mondeo

(album: Stay Sane - 2021)

Life as we know it
I can't keep you from growing from here
But I'm going, all of the things you've seen
All the designs you're showing
You can't do me like dat
Even when I move, you move me right back
If I was rude to you, then too bad
Nothing here's usual, it's all mad

I can't take you to the Four Seasons in your Mondeo
It's due to be the awkwardest trip down the Rodeo
Tryna' drop some blessings on you girl, I'm not a player
I wonder if she'd leave me if a brudda wasn't way up
I like it when she squeeze me, I like it when she stay up
4 AM the TV switch off and then we wake up
I wonder if she need me or if she'd like a day off
Am I being greedy to peel another layer

I don't even mind if we sleep on the sofa
I won't roll you off me, if you comfy then we both are
True I need to pee, but she my G so I hold it
Girl I won't be able to do that as I get older
You know this life's a madness
But in these times of panic
You know a man can hack it
In fact I get quite romantic (trust me)
I be cooking all these meals, all these fucking banquets
Who said I'm the chocolate Gordon Ramsay, I can understand it (who said it?)
We switching lanes, we on some other shit
All aboard, the shiny up-and-coming mothership
I might, re-route the sat-nav if I was struggling for real
But never change the destination that I'm travelling
I swear you man are cold, you know, you ain't got no feelings
Even with my money up I still ain't got my freedom
So baby come on, hold me for more than just the evening
Stroke my head to sleep, so I don't beat up a policeman

Life as we know it
I can't keep you from growing from here
But I'm going, all of the things you've seen
All the designs you're showing
You can't do me like dat
Even when I move, you move me right back
If I was rude to you, then too bad
Nothing here's usual, it's all mad

I can't take you to the Four Seasons in your Mondeo
It's due to be the awkwardest trip down the Rodeo
Tryna' drop some blessings on you girl, I'm not a player
I wonder if she'd leave me if a brudda wasn't way up
I like it when she squeeze me, I like it when she stay up
4 AM the TV switch off and then we wake up
I wonder if she need me or if she'd like a day off
Am I being greedy to peel another layer

Yeah, I don't show it
Love few but I can't change me, and you know it
Sometimes I can't see too clearly
I planted seeds but, seeing you growing was more to me
Take care of me, grow me, water me
If you're confused show me, talk to me
It's a tough time right now, for all to see
Anything that's mine is yours, and yours to keep
Maybe, maybe there was more to see
Hope you think that I was yours, to be
It's your choice though, you weren't forced to be
Coulda been anywhere else but you're with me
And that's gassed me, I promise
I don't wanna speak too soon but, that's what I wanted
To be frank then, I'm honoured
Sometimes I think, is it bad to be honest
It's just

Life as we know it
I can't keep you from growing from here
But I'm going, all of the things you've seen
All the designs you're showing
You can't do me like dat
Even when I move, you move me right back
If I was rude to you, then too bad
Nothing here's usual, it's all mad

I can't take you to the Four Seasons in your Mondeo
It's due to be the awkwardest trip down the Rodeo
Tryna' drop some blessings on you girl, I'm not a player
I wonder if she'd leave me if a brudda wasn't way up
I like it when she squeeze me, I like it when she stay up
4 AM the TV switch off and then we wake up
I wonder if she need me or if she'd like a day off
Am I being greedy to peel another layer
