[Verse 1: 1-Ton]
She was daddy's lil’ girl, the apple of his eye (Uh-huh?)
She went to private school and had silver spoons her whole life (Uh-huh?)
I was a problem and I hit blunts (Sorry); movin' every six months (Damn)
A bad public school kid that lived rough (Yeah)
When momma cried about our first day and curse the day (Damn!)
And said the thought of us together put her in the grave (Oh my God!)
I've been in love, I could feel it in the worst of ways (Feel down)
Her father went five years without a word to say (Not once!)
The whole time we was strugglin’ with no cheese (Struggling)
Hustlin' hard to make the ends meet with no cheese
Believe me, I literally gave every ounce I had ([?])
And made her smile everyday while dad was actin' mad (For real)
I promised her forever so I was there no matter what (Whut)
She means the whole world to me I could never give her up (Never!)
I asked her dad to understand the things I'm speakin' of (Feel me!)
He looked me in my face and said "I don't believe in love" (Like me!)
What am I supposed to think about that? (I don't know?)
And what the hell am I supposed to say back? (Ya know me!)
It threw me for a loop but then I understood it clearly
If you've never been in love, it’s impossible to feel me
[Chorus: James Boy & 1-Ton]
(Forbidden love, forbidden love, forbidden love)
Because she’s bringin' out the best of me (You)
(Forbidden love, forbidden love, forbidden love)
Because it ain’t nobody's history (Forbidden love)
(Yeah) Forbidden love is what they call when they look at us
(Yeah) No matter what I do, it's never gon' be good enough
(Yeah) You’d understand if you could only see what I can see
(Yeah) Just let it go and let us be who we supposed to be
[Verse 2: UnderRated]
You can't help who you fall in love with, it's so true (It's true)
I been searchin' for years and I finally found you (Yup)
Now, that I have these people sayin' "It ain't right" (What?)
Maybe 'cause you're too young, maybe 'cause I'm too white (I don't know?)
I'm just bein' honest, I love this girl so much
But I know her family hates me when I'm gone on tour for four months (I'm sorry)
And her friends are like "He's probably out cheating on you"
And my friends are like "She might not be the one dude"
But I've got to be myself and do what feels right
Why does anybody even care when this is my life? (Why?)
So, I'm gonna do it, when will they learn?
This is my heart that loves and this is my heart that burns (Yo?)
So, fuck people tellin' me, lookin' at it sideways
I've made my decision, and I'm gonna do it my way
Got feelings for this girl, feelin' higher than any drug
Still to the rest of the world it's lookin' like forbidden love
[Chorus: James Boy & 1-Ton]
(Forbidden love, forbidden love, forbidden love)
Because she's bringin' out the best of me (You)
(Forbidden love, forbidden love, forbidden love)
Because it ain't nobody's history (Forbidden love)
(Yeah) Forbidden love is what they call when they look at us
(Yeah) No matter what I do, it's never gon' be good enough
(Yeah) You'd understand if you could only see what I can see
(Yeah) Just let it go and let us be who we supposed to be
(Forbidden love, forbidden love, forbidden love)
Because she's bringin' out the best of me (You)
(Forbidden love, forbidden love, forbidden love)
Because it ain't nobody's history (Forbidden love)
(Yeah) Forbidden love is what they call when they look at us
(Yeah) No matter what I do, it's never gon' be good enough
(Yeah) You'd understand if you could only see what I can see
(Yeah) Just let it go and let us be who we supposed to be
