[Verse 1]

Shallow Jane

Don't look ayo I don't know your name

So I refer to you as "Sweet Love"

When Sweet Love dropped the books I played the good Samaritan

Then she looked me up and down to see the income I was wearing

I said, "Shallow baby for my name is Rosta"

She suspected me a hoodlum cause of my dialect and posture

So sorry for the intrusion but don't jump to conclusions

If the wardrobe I was wearing was influencing but prudent

I made the pre jokes mental and hesitant to get into

Casual conversation but the Burger King apron kept causing

Static in the attic, placing me in the basement

But I heard from my man she was romantically involved

But the relationship was faulty between her and her fiancee

Now, now, now that's exactly why her and I made out

Contact with the contacts which made me reminisce upon that

Same old slow song sung slow ya know

[Hook]

Baby

Why you loving that nigga?

"Hey baby"

You tell me this you tell me that

You say it's love but hey how do you figure?

"Hey baby"

He beat you down until you're black and blue

You never thought that this would happen to you

Every night you fight you're having a feud

He always saying you ain't about...

[Verse 2]

It's been three weeks prior

(To our interruption)

And um, although you felt my flavor

([?] reluctant)

And last night we made love

(And I did better than your man did)

Isn't it true?

(Cause I felt that your anatomy expanded)

And then you sneak out in the PM

(And you arrive back in the AM)

And then he greets you with a slap

(Screaming why'd you disobey him)

So then the love taps became the love slaps

And then you come back

(So what it wasn't what it is or what it could be)

So how could you come and tell anything about devotion

When your love is weaker than a pack of Koolaid in the ocean

I know he's your man dear, but yo he ain't your husband

So just cut the zero baby and roll with the ragamuffin

(Lover) and then (Discover) that the grass is

(Sweeter on the other side of the Ville)

And

[Hook]

[Questionmark Asylum]

Ayo darling look here, if he keeps beating on you and cheating on you, then tell me why you rolling with the motherfucker?

[Girl]

That's just the way he shows that he cares for me

[Questionmark Asylum]

Oh, oh, so you saying that black eye shows love huh?

"Baby"

[Verse Three]

And while you're touching up in the bathroom

With an eye black as a raccoon

And you're staring up in the mirror

Covering your wounds up with mascara

Now where your man? Who's your man?

Girl you need to tell your man...

(What?)

Do do do do do

It's all because of you

I'm feeling black and blue

You went away and now my heart is filled with da da da da

[Hook]

[Outro: Rosta Swan]

Oh darling, oh darling, oh dear, oh dear. Look here baby. The next time the hugs and kisses turn to punches kicks you need to roll with the Rosta and [?] Ayo Fiss y'all. Digge Doms and ya don't stop
