Tamia - Poetry lyrics

He said
It's like the grass that grows between
The cracks of ghetto streets
Relentless, in spite of, the never lasting
I said, baby, damn you got lyrics
(Make it like) make it like, poetry

The thugged out, pimped out
Images release them
Save those roles for the young
Souls who believe them
I want the undefinable, indescribable
And more but yet so clear when you
Walk through that door
I said, I want it hard, mystical
Tender and correct
Without expectations but all of them met
Take me around the world but please
Come direct and
Speak to me, speak to my heart

(Make it like) Poetry
Make it like poetry, poetry, poetry
Give your flow slow to me, give it all night
Make it like poetry, poetry, poetry
Everything wrong you see make it alright
Make it like

Kisses of raindrops wash away the pain
Each stroke's a journey on a long train to a
New destination a new meditation of love
A realization of possibilities he says to me
I've given hard, mystical, tender and correct
Without expectations yet all of them met
Take me around the world but please
Come direct and
Speak to me, speak to my heart

Make it like
To be or not to be won't be any question
Make it like the slings of arrows of
Outrageous love are gone make it like
A dream I can touch, a dream I can feel
Make it like
Only you, only you can take me there
Make it like poetry, poetry, poetry

Yeah Poetry
