Lyrics

[Verse 1]
Let-let-let-let-let, let's go on
We'd ra-rather weather the storm
Love comes through and we get it on
Been through the p.m. just to see the dawn
They say it never rains in Californ'
That done changed because of global warming
Depends on what you use for a lens
I was told God used rain to cleanse
In you I got a friend, your kin is my kin
I pray for a woman so I say Amen
A gift in my life that can't be boxed in
You don't complain when I watch Sports Centre Top 10
Over and over again
No more holdin' it in
Let's write a love story, we don't know where it end
I'm beginning to understand to understand women
Yeah, understand forgiving, understand commitment
Understand living in love with no division
Understand she gon' be like, "****, just listen"
Girl, in me a King is risen
So close, the future don't seem as distant
[Verse 2]
Though fancy-free as I wanna be
The world is just a part of me
Though fancy-free as I wanna be
The world is just a part of me
[Verse 3]
Ah-ah, new shoes, ah-ah, new clothes
Really that glow is from your inner soul
You a good DJ as long as you ain't blow
Red carpet looks, I'll tell you when they cold
Pseudo-stylist, you know I joke childish
My Gambino is black, not Italian
Let's watch ATL, drink wine and order Postmates
Background music, either Anita or Ghostface
Any time I get with you, it's a dope date
You juicin'? Don't lose too much weight
Mindful of God, he's SoulCycle for the body
Your hero's Angela Davis, mines is Ali
I probably couldn't have done this years ago
Relationship journey is spiritual, lyrical
Written in the sky above, it's a higher love
If it get ashy, we can start applying love
We can work, we can laugh, we can cry in love
Let's get gray, then we can die in love
Tell the first responders this is a fire love
Gratitude to the most high above
[Verse 4]
Though fancy-free as I wanna be
The world is just a part of me
Though fancy-free as I wanna be
The world is just a part of me
[Verse 5]
You my partner, da-na-na-na-na-na
You a part of, da-na-na-na-na-na
This is sparks of, no matter what they call it
This is God's love, our love
You get spicy any time I act like a Pisces
That's the only time that you really wanna fight me
Can't copy sex, still you can bite me
That can be the start of our black clan like Spike Lee
You help me with my lines, tell me when my raps are whack
When I'm sick, you got remedies to battle back
Your jellyfish theory, we can master that
I love you this lifetime and after that
[Verse 6]
Though fancy-free as I wanna be
The world is just a part of me
Though fancy-free as I wanna be
The world is just a part of me
