It used to be so easy, free styling into your mind,
picturing some kind of mad loving you.
It ain't the same, though, now, see,
I don't fall in love no more,
Just like no one buys no music in a store.
Tears in your mind.
Diamonds I your lies.
I ain't buying your crying at me.
I saw your records on the wall, I knew you're gonna fall,
Just like every one before, you.
Racing down the aisle to glory,
keep your guts tight, twist your story,
But don't expect me to be sorry,
when you're gone.
Tears in your mind.
Diamonds I your lies.
I ain't buying your crying at me.
Check it out, my girl is rhyming.
Check it out, my girl's free styling.
My oh my, I saw it coming.
Turn on the mike, and she'll start crying.
So I’m making it up, ‘cause I don’t really know.
How I left you alone, how you stopped coming home.
Walls came down on your eyes, piling mountains of lies.
You were leaving the room, with your sweetest perfume.
Not a sound left behind, silence cracking my mind.
And the beat of my heart, grooving city-love rhymes.
For even when you go, your love is standing, yo.
