…you to know that
You really set my mind at ease, honey
Refreshing as a summer breeze, baby, baby
I'm really…
…not that hard to please, darling, darling
Come on, sugar, be with me
So add a little sugar to your coffee
Sit and talk for awhile, won't you please…
…here all evening
Well, it's really not that hard to see, darling, darling
That lovin' me is on your mind, baby
Well, I'm so…

…it home
Writing music of the spheres
Into a worn-out dusty tome
Into the writing on the wall
Across the ancient stellar road…
That nothing is an everlasting dream
And so the tale goes on and on,
Screaming on the wings of dawn
And if it's long, I guess I can pretend
One day I journeyed to the sea,
And wandered by a…
…cypress tree
I found that silence was a worthy cause
And walking on the evening waves,
I saw her…

Two ways to spend a selfish summer
Chasing pigeon feathers or bathing in melted butter
Pour yourself another
Nothing says fresh…

Burn 'em out for ya
And neck 'em down for the rush

…my evening
We were dreaming
Fresh out of quarantine, breeding
Like ants in a bag of sugar feeding
I'll meet you out creeping…

I'm not too proud to tell you that I'm hungry
Starving even
Every evening
Have a meeting
With my demons
And Lord knows
Feel rich…
…in these poor clothes
I pray my bae will stay
Even on days I'm a no show
I hate it too boo, but that's the way that it goes
Level…
…more XP with the feminine gender
Touching them tender
Feel like a winner
Until they pull the prude card on a nigga
Sugar you're…

…gift for the locals
Then hit 'em, flee 'em, delete 'em
Hug 'em, love 'em, and leave 'em
If you call me a genius, nobody would disagree it
I'm spotted on…
…different beaches, Cohiba, smoking reefer
I hope you hit me by 3, I'm incoherent in the evening
What's up, sugar? I'm diggin' ya, oh, you…
…women
I put that battery in backs, ho, small wonder
It's been a long summer and I've been on my grind
We killin' shows out…

Yeah, yeah

Suzy, Suzy
She tried to do me
Like some kind of male flousie, groupie even
Kicked it to her on…
…one hot summer evening
Fell for her spell, considered achievement
I couldn't believe when honey went wild for the money
Still…
…shit, why did you abuse this
Dark skin fin to win, now attempts are useless
I've moved on, seen a few thongs, nothing wrong
Don't…
