Verse 1: You're just my type But this feels different Guess I wasn't messing with no real women That could hold it down Keep it real with me All the other ones would lie Eat a mil for free They dip When I hit the asphalt But then I'd get back up And wipe the ash off Then they'd come right back Like they were there the whole time Running they old game Repeating their sorry lines But girl your way different than the rest em You value the time together Not the restaurant You kept it 100 even when it'd hurt But thats part of the main reason I still mess with ya Though I ain't tryna mess your plans up Ive been thinking Girl, maybe I should man up Tell you What's been eating at my mind but It just gets harder for me to find words Chorus: And girl That's how you make me feel Like we got something real --something that I never felt before But something bout it got me craving mo And if we vowel to always keep it real We gon do it do it right, do it right fo sho Verse 2: We all have had our own past and If you down it won't be hard To move past it Your ex messed up He lost something special Now tell that sucka Get to packin' I can't promise material A big car A big house Cause its all surreal But I can promise to treat you like a queen My queen My Girl My Girl My Dream I wanna show you how you really make me feel but im not tryna look played out I know you gonna run and tell your girls and we all know how thats gonna play out But ill never achieve nothing by just sitting around So i think im just gonna speak up Im really feeling you Can I take you Out? Chorus: And girl That's how you make me feel Like we got something real --something that I never felt before But something bout it got me craving mo And if we vowel to always keep it real We gon do it do it right, do it right fo sho Chorus: (Ad-lib)

First day of school I met this girl And she was beautiful Drop Dead Stunning Nothing like the usual 5'3 Lightskinned Derion Tight fit She was always smiling So I think that she might Like me So i got my Mack on My boys were in the back blown they thought I'd never do it Said I didn't have no backbone I showed em I showed her Yup I really had this act going And everything was fine Until her man walked in the classroom Chorus: And though we spent a little time girl Im really feeling you And this is genuine girl Im really into you Verse 2: I met her in the school halls And she was crying I asked her what was wrong And was shocked when she replied with Me and my ex broke up And we are currently fighting I tried to play sad And cover up all my excitement I told her itd be alright and She shouldn't be here crying He doesn't deserve her tears And that she should realize it She looked me in my eyes and I swear we had a moment Then here comes her big bad ex Telling me back up off his women I ain't budge And I ain't move Cause I was where I wanted to, be I was with her She was with me It felt like I was in a movie Then they argued But they made up Now I'm sitting here Looking stupid Just another case of my heart broken By Cupid What's up Chorus: And though we spent a little time girl Im really feeling you And this is genuine girl Im really into you Verse 3: What ever happened I don't know cause she was back And she was singing I was rapping We were kicking it And laughing We were doing pretty well For high school kids Up in Manhattan Plenty of fish up in the sea But I was good with what I haad But she ain't wanna be exclusive Friends is where she stuck me Thought I had something good But I was just young and unlucky Thought she was the one But I miscounted All my options Guess it wasn't meant to be But I'm persistent Ain't no stopping Fastfoward to this new girl Who her I'd like to get to know her she looks cute I'd like to scoop her She looks like no other Swear this is one of a kind I'm really into her and I know that it is genuine Haha

Verse 1: And I don't really play piano But I got to keep it real right quick Lil mama got me playing my heart out Its only been a minute Yea I swear I know her all to quick But she's got me And I'm putting my all out And damn She's a modest type A keep it honest type A if you keep it real You know I'll be 100 type That's why I wouldn't mind To take a 100 flights Way down to Vegas and back So we can spend some time She's ambitious Mama got her career goin Just 16 But she'll be big Give her a year or so Don't care bout sleeping with her Long as we dream together Don't mind bout freaking with her Long as we can scream together Long as she keep it 1 hundred Ill keep it 2 The world will know of us But nothing of what we do A good relationship fails When too many people into it They all give advice But they advice Is a bad influence Its funny single people Always have the most advice I think they just don't wanna Be The only one lonely nights Know they be plotting baby So hold your goals tight They'll try to kill your dreams But they can't kill wat they can't find Chorus: And piano ain't my thang but Maybe if I had a trainer I could play keys like Alicia They could teach me How to love, how to love And love really ain't my thang but Maybe if you were my trainer Maybe you could teach me How to love, how to love Verse 2: And I don't really play piano But I'm getting a hang of it Its sounding pretty good Like a real relationship uncertain how you feel Uncertain how you taking it But I promise this is real Shawty ain't no faking this One day we'll look back At all we're accomplishing I'll be rocking the stage You'll be out there modeling Doing your own thing You'll be out there modeling Girl you independent You deserve some honorment I know you got your past And you know I got mines But if we push it to the side Girl we'll be fine You looking for the one I'm looking for a dime Well maybe we can each other At the same time Chorus: And piano ain't my thing but Maybe if I had a trainer I could play keys like Alicia They could teach me How to love, how to love And love really ain't my thang but Maybe if you were my trainer Maybe you could teach me How to love How to love (Adlib - Hook (end at 3:33))

Chorus: This feeling is so amazing It reminds me of the days when We were little kids Playing at the park Feeling that Amazement X4 Verse 1: Uhh Its amazing how the times change Its amazing how the migraines Something once pain Reciprocals to a gain A blessing in disguise The gold after the rain They say I'm a lil too grown To be worried about the park That's how I know they ain't listening I ain't talking about no park I'm talking bout the feeling Bout the joy in your heart Which is slowly being stolen And y'all just playing yalls part Words I never said Will be the cause of my death So imma speak up now With now with no fear And no regret This feeling is so amazing So I don't know what's taking Me so long To fight for it back This is my only hope This is my only chance Yea Chorus: This feeling is so amazing It feels like the days when We were little kids Playing at the park Feeling that amazement X2 Verse 2: Now days teens dying over jeans And they claim no homo Is a joking thing No days rappers getting signed for splines Without a backbone You just an actor G Shoot just a snake like the rest of em But right now that's irrelevant I'm focusing on the positive And letting go all the negative Tryna set my self up for betterment I know they're tryna still my heartbeat They're praying that my heart cease I think they prolly would've succeeded If I ain't move overseas Hanging with the wrong crowd The in crowd The big boys That smoke loud The sticky fingers The trigger happys The wanna be's The posers The missing daddies But I evaded it all They're questioning my rise But still praying for my fall I made it through the gutter Now I'm swerving them off They don't know what I been through And we ain't certain tomorrow (Will ever come So why waste time Pleasing people When in they mind) Nothing that I did or ever will Would never add up Shoot And I know they might be mad but Chorus: This feeling is so amazing It feels like the days when We were little kids Playing at the park Feeling that amazement X4 Verse 3: This feeling is so amazing It got me trapped in my haven It got me feeling so fly Like I'm a raven It got me feeling like I'm the realest like I'm the illest like I got the illest mic Real small dude From the a-town But I been around Fans is getting loud Chorus: This feeling is so amazing It feels like the days when We were little kids Playing at the park feeling that amazement X4 This this It it We we Play play X2 (Echoes out)
