[Intro: Jean Grae]

I should never started doing this song

On the first album

It's too much

It's much a...

[Verse 1: Jean Grae]

Okay, let's take it back, right where we left off

Two years ago on Attack I got to vent of course

Love Song, people said, "Jean, you wrote my life story"

It took a couple tries just to write this down homie

Anyhow, let's go, delve like a periscope

Four years in retrospect, take some time to recollect

I was livin' single now, money in the bank account

Studio, loft bed, truly mine, I paint it red

Twenty-three, sellin' weed with Dutches taped on the cases

Hit up Envy every Wednesday at the club, I'm famous

For buyin' bottles at half price

Me and my girls act nice, relaxed life, dancin' with half pints

Kissed many a Mister, wasn't Mr. Right

That's okay, sister was lookin' for Mr. Tonight

And he'd called me up a couple times, we exchanged a couple lines

And I'd backtrack, repeat a couple times

When he hollered, hardly wasn't thinkin'

Except I'm lookin' fresh like every ex you dream of meetin'

On the humble, tumbled down a couple notches into swappin' spit

Gave myself and I knew that he was poppin' shit

Crumbled to the advances, mumblin', he's sorry dancin'

I couldn't stop the attraction, wasn't properly actin'

And so I got down and it wasn't nothin'

I kept on like my heart wasn't frontin' but I was hurtin' y'all

You can't believe that somebody that you love that much

Would ever bring their hands to you and properly touch

Face smack you, race back to when he kicked you in the back

Muscle relax and strugglin' to erase the facts

Only one I thought who really knew me

Threw me away truly, how cruelly can love treat you?

I learned a lot, learned how to numb the pain

After the liquor I could split him up out of my brain

I continued on though, dated a couple dudes

One was just lame, one broke my bathroom

But all in all it was an ill experience

I threw a couple parties, DJ I'm Serious

Cocaine, was curious, was not for me though

Ended up smokin' more than I sold of the 'dro

I'm spendin' up all of the money I got in the bank

I'm thinkin' maybe I should probably slow down on the drinks

My intake is over levels of panickin'

At three out of seven I've spent blackin' out

And no doubt, I don't know how to ration

Wakin' up and just feelin' smashed again but can't quit

[Chorus: Jean Grae]

It's still a love song, it's still a love song

Lord knows that I've waited so long

But all the love's wrong, Lord is my luck gone?

But just wait, the story goes on

[Verse 2: Jean Grae]

The name Jason, I had replaced him

With the last verse one, so we were forsaken

But we're both so much alike, alcoholics

Tattoos, except that he's brolic, so I called him

Up in my apartment watchin' cartoons

Drinkin' Old E and we're both stallin'

We need more drinks so we ventured out

To the club, liquored up, then we vent about

Why things never worked and then we started dancin'

He's apologizin' and I'm entranced and then

For the next two weeks we were inseparable

Weed undetectable, drinkin' 'til inept until

We would wile out, both startin' fights

Every club, both carried a knife, weapon lovers

We slept together but check each other whenever it got too much

Bonnie & Clyde, rep whatever

He's my personal calendar, appreciates the rhyme caliber

Feasts on diners every night after

Dancin', romancin' is never a problem

We got Envy's on Valentine's Day, it's a coffin

It's a wrap, other niggas are dead

And then all of a sudden his voicemail's in my head

Just two weeks of this relationship

I should have known that this beauty would give way to some shit

I called him from the studio, the way that he flip

And you'd think that he never just have lately kissed

He wanted space, started screamin' and I hazily grip

The phone, listen as he crazily tip the scales thrown

Off the hook man, recorded "Love Venom"

For Mr. Len's album that night, heart swellin'

I put his number in it, fuck a love, I'm finished

Tuck in my feelings like a chain and fuck you niggas

[Chorus: Jean Grae]

It's still a love song, it's still a love song

Lord knows, I've waited for so long

But all the love's wrong, Lord has my luck gone?

Just wait, the story goes on
