Christon Gray, Sho Baraka - Cliff & Claire lyrics

Oh wherever you came from give my regards
Somebody made a work of art
And I just think it's so bizarre
That I'm in the picture
So for better or for worse
I'm seeking the Lord
Sometimes it's back to the drawing board
But, I won't give up 'til I'm
Sure it's a perfect picture

Okay, meet Claire, ha
She says she's single and content
She says she ain't lookin' for a man
But we know she really is
Prayin' makin' a list of things
Her husband needs to fit
A fit 10 who loves the Lord
She won't settle for no 6 oh well
Let me introduce you to a 6 named Cliff
He ain't Adonis
But then again Claire ain't even a goddess
Million dollar smile with some
50 dollar pockets
He got a killer charm and he
Been walkin' with the Lord
They get introduced and then they
Have a couple dates
And after months of bein' fake I guess
They get sick of the chase
After counsel and growth Cliff goes
Shoppin' for a ring
Spit's a little game at her like
"won't you be my queen?"
She wants a big weddin' which
Means spendin' big bucks
He's thinkin' of future expenses he
Wants to save up
Mom told her be submissive baby
Don't be contentious
Be quick to listen baby girl
Your words can be vicious
Father told him never stop datin' your wife
The honeymoon is one night
She needs good sex her whole life
What God has put together
Let no man tear apart
They have their whole life in front of
'em and this is just the start
Oh wherever you came from give my regards
Somebody made a work of art
And I just think it's so bizarre
That I'm in the picture
So for better or for worse
I'm seeking the Lord
Sometimes it's back to the drawing board
But, I won't give up 'til I'm
Sure it's a perfect picture

Okay, chapter 2
Cliff and Claire have a new situation
New child, new career, they need new patience
It's a different place in life
Cuz it's a different marriage
They need new expectations now
That they've become parents
Cliff wants the wife with the
Shape of his wedding day
Claire wants more help with the child
And a more servant mate
Well since he ain't gettin' sex
And she ain't gettin' served
They both do small things to
Work each other's nerves
Because of debt and school loans
And the house they own
He keepin' up with the Jones's
This brother's never home
The things that caught her eye she used to
Like but she don't like no mo
The jokes that came out of his mouth well
Now she hopes he keeps it closed
So when he works he flirts and he
Gets attention from the boss's assistant
This is causin' some tension
She complains so much
Man he really starts to hate it
Her words are cuttin' him deep
So he feels emasculated
This makes Cliff very passive
But also quite aggressive
They both are stressin' cuz
Their marriage is depressin'
They've given up on the portrait it's
Back to the drawing board
They need the right frame of reference
So they can paint some more
Oh wherever you came from give my regards
Somebody made a work of art
And I just think it's so bizarre
That I'm in the picture
So for better or for worse
I'm seeking the Lord
Sometimes it's back to the drawing board
But, I won't give up 'til I'm
Sure it's a perfect picture

(Okay, chapter 3)
After seein' that their selfish ways
Were really only hurtin'
They ain't perfect but the couple
Is workin' with counsel
Seein' Jesus and other couples as the model
Dyin' to serve each other is
The paint brush to follow
Who would think to love somebody as bad as us
Love ain't love unless it can
Be taken advantage of
Love's a commitment at my
Expense for your benefit
It's a call to action even when
The server ain't feelin' it
I think they know now
They've learned to surround
Themselves with other married couples and
Lay aside the crown
Cliff learned how to cheat his job
And not cheat his wife
Changing his expectations and
Prioritize his life
Claire learned that small things
Can cause great fights
She's trying to serve in spite of
And not serve in spite
If anything we could model our great hero
Always give 100 percent and expect zero
