Complexity Lyrics

Artist: The Roots
Album: Phrenology

(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 its 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 shaggacorn
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
'Cuz 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
'Cuz my respect you commanded
(you figure it out...)

(Black Thought)
I used to come into the party
And stand around
'Cuz 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.)

La da da da

Da
