That Girl

I pulled a flower from the garden of pure Fleur de Jardins Her bloodline mixed The Philippines with New Orleans The vibe made me think of Diahann Carroll in Claudine Whoever couldn't see it, then so be it, like I mean A queen nightingale, and her wings whisper the sky in tail The sun and moon are her biggest fans, they sent a mail Skin caramel, her magnetism none could parallel From Venus to Venezuel', they call her Miss Michelle Her beauty truly a treasure, her laughter was a song No way I could ever be right if lovin' her was wrong There was times my character might have been less than strong She would leave, but she'd always come back where she belong She got the whole wide world under her finger When we were young, she came in, and stung me with a stinger My Nefertiti, Amina Makeeba, my Azinga The light in which I'ma linger, I'll probably do anything for that girl That girl break your heart That girl tear you apart Some nights I lay awake, and feel all of my thoughts runnin' I tally my regrets, upsets, and shortcomings What have I been taught from 'em? Some souls are sutured And when you support someone, you invest in the future Some days, it's apple cider, the next could be kombucha Or celery through the juicer and tellin' me, "Do a booster" She mighty, Aphrodite, and never a true Medusa She's never been too obtrusive, long as we been exclusive At first, love was elusive, this old heart was icy The cold part, I thought the final wifey was unlikely My lover friend, my spiritual twin, yeah, nothing like me And rightfully so, I never met somebody more strikin' And yo, she got the whole wide world under her finger When we were young, she came in, and stung me with a stinger My Nefertiti, Amina Makeeba, my Azinga The light in which I'ma linger, I'll probably do anything for that girl That girl break your heart That girl tear you apart
