Cloth lyrics

[Verse 1]

We were from different cities on the same block

Grew up in different circles in the same spot

Like raindrops we fall in love giving our all

Showing her ring off like a player at the ball

I recall the walls that I had up

Attracted to women for things that didn't matter

Ka-clow boom pop! Sound of my heart when it drop

The night that I met her, it might be forever

I hear people saying that they like us together

I ain't afraid to gamble when life is getting better

With you, I admit I had issues

Like ebony, your essence, your pedigree, your presence

It's more than clothes can say for you

When I shop I gotta spend more than a day for you

I pray for you and us, that we imbue through lust

And accrue the trust, let's shake off the dust from the cloth

[Hook]

Oh you're worried about when people stop and stare

That's just a tear on those beautiful clothes you wear

Cut from the same, cloth you just want to wear

But that's just a tear because girl I can get you fresh

La la la la, la la la la

[Verse 2]

This is tailor-made love, fit like a snug

Anything we can bear so let's have some cubs

You were there when my cuz passed away

Not only does love, but life hatches day

I appreciate the hugs and the days I breed with you

Strong seeds I can see with you, the good word I read with you

Looking at things that we've been through

Things that seem simple

I know when to go hard and when to be gentle

Sentimental laughs and expressions

Let's stay in the present, no time for second guessing

You said it's this cloth that makes you feel naked

The truth we address it, that's so unexpected

Yeah that's the thread that helps us move ahead

Your hunger for affection will always be fed

Thank God we never sped and let love take it's course

Because what's inside of us, no need to outsource

The cloth

[Hook]

[Verse 3]

Hey lover we can cover each other

Through the coldest nights, tight never smother

It's two things that seems to hold us together

God is our tailor and forever

It's two things that seems to hold us together

God is our tailor and forever

It's two things that seems to hold us together

God is our tailor and forever

It's the cloth
