My Best Half

The first time I met my wife
Was on a Wednesday night
Making party in a German bar
Murs was there, the rap-off at the Gasthof
Check it out, true story

I got something on my mind
Can I leave it with you?
I'm still feeling you and all
The things that you do
Remember Wednesday nights in
That basement bar
You never thought that hip hop
Would take it this far (sorry)

Hellbound we must have drowned in a
Bottle of some rusty brown
Running town to town, like shut 'em down
Shut 'em, shut 'em, what?
When the buzz wore off you still stuck around

And when I think of all the lines we stepped
And the tolerance required to
Forgive and forget
When I reflect on the boundaries
And limit's we set
I recognize neither one of us is innocent

Look I'm just a song writer
I'm not a wrong righter
But I'm alive and I'm proof
Survival ain't exclusive to the strong
We all tryna keep it calm
So this goes to anyone who sings along

Come on, I never said I'm the best
I can't watch my step when
I'm watching you step
But baby, I'mma do my best
You got me under your spell
Like I was under arrest

And I ain't never said I'm the best
No special effects, I wanna touch your flesh
But baby I'mma do my best
Love connection, nuff respect

I never said I'm the best
You can check for better
But don't hold your breath
But baby I'mma do my best
We were both impressed, it felt so correct

And I ain't never said I'm the best
Sometimes I forget but I know I'm blessed
But baby, I'mma do my
From the first time that we met
You're my best

She made me wait a couple months for some sex
Murs wasn't there echo, echo, echo, echo
Delay, delay, delay, delay

She made love to a switchblade
Then stayed over night for a whole decade
That safety net doesn't mean that
Your nest is safe
Well played, but still called a checkmate

He made love to a rosebush drew a crowd
All of y'all can look but don't push
It's a thin line between crime and justice
First you gotta find us
Then you can judge us

Outlaws, we far from flawless
We guilty of whatever
The accomplice accomplished
And if the cops drop all of the charges
We'll be out all the
Mall with identical outfit's

Like a couple of fly motherfuckers
We married so we don't
Testify against each other
Till they name a holiday after Marvin Gaye
That's all I got to say
You can stop the tape

We know what it's about
Or maybe we're still tryna figure it out
Or maybe it doesn't matter
We couldn't care a lesser amount
We know what it's about
Or maybe we're still tryna figure it out
Or maybe it doesn't matter
We couldn't care a lesser amount
