Beauty and Thug (feat. Mary J. Blige)

So burgundy, the window to his soul

It seems he tapes his eyes closed

From huffin' on, that's what he's puffin' on

His style is rough, he wears his hair in cornrows

His jeans hang loose and low

So his di-, oops can't be comfortable, I mean

He's gotta be comfortable

Now she's the type that's compared to a rose

That grew from the concrete

Sweet ya know, from the streets yo

Now she's the opposite of he

Have you ever seen a lion sleep on the bosom of a sheep?

It's beautiful, yeah, thug though, oh

She's so beautiful and he's a thug (He's a thug)

They're so different, yet they're in love (They're in love)

He's so thugged out and she's so beautiful

They're so perfect 'cause they're in love

Picture this, his warm velvet voice on a cold winters night

Sugar free, bitter truth, building life from a slang so divine

Soul to soul, their flesh pressed from a firm grip of onyx tenderness

He signed his name with a venom kiss

Upon a heart, I never heard of such bliss

Now she's the opposite of he (Opposite)

Such as a butterfly and he's a killer bee

Yeah, she becomes a victim to his sting

And he's amazed by the colors of her wings

And the life he's led has left him with some scars

But, she viewed them all as mid-beauty marks

The moral of the story, plain as can be

He loved her 'cause, he is me

She's so beautiful and he's a thug (He's a thug)

They're so different, yet they're in love (They're in love)

He's so thugged out and she's so beautiful

They're so perfect 'cause they're in love ('Cause we're in love)

She's so beautiful and he's a thug (So beautiful)

They're so different, yet they're in love (Different, but so in love)

He's so thugged out and she's so beautiful (So beautiful)

They're so perfect 'cause they're in love

Da, da-da-da-da, da, da-da-da, da

She's beautiful and he's a thug (He's a thug)

Made for each other 'cause they're in love (They're in love)

She's a petal and he's a thorn (She's a petal, he's a thorn)

From a different type of story since they were born

She's so beautiful and he's a thug

They're so different, yet they're in love

He's so thugged out and she's so beautiful

They're so perfect 'cause they're in love

She's so beautiful and he's a thug

They're so different, yet they're in love

He's so thugged out and she's so beautiful

They're so perfect 'cause they're in love
