Behind Mahogany Eyes

He says there’s something just right

about the mystery behind mahogany eyes

I hope he knows that’s reserved

for the one who plays for life

 

one minute its: hey beautiful, are you the prize that I’ve won?

then two drinks later its: it aint fun if the homies can’t have none

 

these are just some reasons

they say I play hard to get

but who’s playing?

I peeped your game when you hit the door

and you haven’t shown your cards yet

 

typical and predictable

things I don’t go for

you can call it being picky

because I don’t want to be the one you adore

then you get offended and now I’m a fat bitch and a whore

 

it’s so weird cause that’s not what’s known of me

just cause I carry myself different

means I must be low and weak

 

you didn’t get what you wanted now I’m in the wrong?

your ego is bruised and you feel I didn’t give you the rub along?

 

you want to know what the is mystery?

it\'s that my skin is tough

your words are just usual

and trust anything you could give  could never be enough

 

So I’m gonna let you live

even though you crossed the line

I guess you’ll never know what lies behind mahogany eyes
