I SAID “OH MY GOD, WHAT DID I JUST LET IN?” I SAID “OH MY LORD, WHAT DID I JUST LET IN?” BECAUSE I KNOW THEM EYES BEEN PUSHING LEAD. OH HOLD ME BACK SHE’S GOT LIPS LIKE THAT WITH WORDS ROLLING OFF LIKE KEYS. IT’S LIKE SQUEEZING TACKS WHEN SHE COMES BACK SHE WALKS, WALKS HERSELF RIGHT IN (OH SHIT HERE SHE COMES) I SAID “OH MY GOD, WHAT DID I JUST LET IN?” I SAID “OH MY LORD, WHAT DID I JUST LET IN?” IT WAS A NO PA, NO KIN SHOTGUN WEDDING. BECAUSE I KNOW THEM EYES BEEN PUSHING LEAD.
