Is That Too Much to Ask

I ain’t gone lie I been going through it 

Mind has been racing
Emotions jaded
Hope I don’t lose it
To cure all these problems
I take my pen and I heal it with music
Then take a look in the mirror
Tell myself I’m only human
Lets do this

It's February 6th clock says its 6:22
Put a timestamp on the verse
For the day I make it through
All my adversities
Pain, things that were hurting me
I’ll listen to this track
Think back smile cause I made it through
And in these brief moments
Loves gonna be to topic at hand
But that words been misconstrued
By my generation
With women who think love is
When he spends Benjamins
And men who think if she loves you
She should obey all commands
That shit I don’t understand
It’s getting way outta hand
It might be best to stay single
Then mingle and give it chance.
Nowadays loves unconditional
When the condition still stands
And life is going as planned
But as soon as shit get rocky
People hit the road, damn
“I scream” the day my heart turns cold
Rather have committed commitment
And connect with her soul
Then be committed to the streets
Running through bitches gets old
What do you bring to the table
You get defensive if you asked that
Hopefully your answer is better
Then that your ass fat
Or you a 6 figure nigga
Who funds it all wit his cash app
But jokes on you

Baby look me in my eyes say
You loyal, loving, patient, giving, compassionate,
Caring, kind, supporting, forgiving, intelligent, independent,
With a big ass heart
And as your man I’ll compliment what you brought
By telling you that baby I’m
Dependent, faithful, trusting, confident, protective
Empathetic, understanding, receptive, dominant,
But know when and where I need to project it
Preceptive to your emotions
But know when to check ya yeah

Never needed perfection
Just honesty honestly
Lately, I’ve been so frustrated
From the women I talk to
But never end up dating
A continuous cycle of all these failed relations
But Im patient
Im still waiting
On that right one (yeah)
I refuse to lose all my hope
Cause my past
Got a lot of love to give
But got one question to ask
What I give can you give back or
Is that too much to ask
