Lyrics
[Verse 1]
That's perfect, okay
Mac 'n' cheese up in the oven, grandma finished cookin'
Thanksgiving 'round the corner need banana puddin'
Brought you home to mama even though you said I shouldn't
Might not make to Christmas but I'm hopin' and I'm pushin' for a
Better day, a good day in the makin' but you never stay
I could say that you fakin' on the real, huh
Why you fakin' on the real?
[Verse 2]
Uh, yeah
You see I brought you home to mama, introduced you to my cousins
Met my aunties and my uncles, know they crazy, they be buggin' but
Promise that I got you, didn't bring you here for nothin'
Know we fightin' plus the arguments just lead into the fuckin'
Though some things never rearrange, I know we needin' change
Altogether through a deeper lane, come through, release the pain
I can be your Ibuprofen, keep it real, would I be hopin'
Know you see our love is destined, yeah, our shit was highly chosen by
The universe, the stars aligned, your love is far divine
Plus I'm really glad you keep it G, that shit is hard to find
Not to mention my intentions was always evolve in time
Girl I hope I'm in your future 'cause I know you fall in mine ,uh
[Verse 3]
Mac 'n' cheese up in the oven, grandma finished cookin'
Thanksgiving 'round the corner need banana puddin'
Brought you home to mama even though you said I shouldn't
Might not make to Christmas but I'm hopin' and I'm pushin' for a
Better day, a good day in the makin' but you never stay
I could say that you fakin' on the real
Why you fakin' on the real?
[Verse 4]
Yeah
You see I've always been a over-thinker
I've always been the type to analyze to no surprise that you hold the team up
The way the ship was built there's no way the lows could sink us
A humble shawty, model type, walk in vogue demeanor
But anyway through many days, we on the block where Jenny stays
Honey-baked ham with Henny glaze
Abraham inheritance, shawty, we plenty paid
Bonny Clyde high speed chase, a renegade but
[Verse 5]
Mac 'n' cheese up in the oven, grandma finished cookin'
Thanksgiving 'round the corner need banana puddin'
Brought you home to mama even though you said I shouldn't
Might not make to Christmas but I'm hopin' and I'm pushin' for a
Better day, a good day in the makin' but you never stay
I could say that you fakin' on the real, huh
Why you fakin' on the real? (Yeah)
