Shallow Love

(专辑： Calibraska - 2015)

Is this shallow love or real?

Everywhere I go, I see love turning into something it's not
People caught up with the image. When's this shit gon' stop?
When he gets down on his knee and that question gets popped
She's like, "Yes, babe!" Eyes still locked at the rock
He's got bands, he wants a pretty lady who wants a Mercedes-Benz
So they can both show off to their friends
They're in the whip, they're in the penthouse and they're in the jet to France
Damn, it seems like love's the only thing that they ain't in
Diving in headfirst into some shallow waters
I'm just touching on a subject that I feel is kinda catastrophic
I'm not saying every couple with money's got this problem
But in some cases without the label, she'd be straight up robbing
Taking vows to the coffin on the wedding day
Ain't no prenup needed, she convinced him it's true
Perfectly curved, believing every word that she spews
Was blinded by the beauty, can't see through

Is this shallow love?
Or is it something real?
You make it hard to deal
Not knowing if this is shallow love
The way we live so well
Can make it hard to tell
What she in it for?
What she really in it for?

So girl tell me what you in it for
Is it 'cause I'm young and living like a centerfold?
Is it 'cause I'm taking you places that you ain't been before? No.
By the looks of it this love is too fake, we might as well just call the dentist, yo
Can you see why I'm tripping though?
'Cause man if shit's like this now
Then what's it gon' be like once we get to the pinnacle?
And I suppose only time's gon' tell
But as of now, we're doing fine, no help
Girl you're a piece of work that God designed so well
But you don't need to check the worth before you ride with me
Put that man aside if he's all about being with someone just to get inside
Or if he's hoping and praying that you gon' stay when he gets caught
When he slips up, fighting, pulling all sorts and types of straws
Now the jig's up, left broken in pieces like a jigsaw, ay
But that's just how shit goes
When you let the shallow love get hope
Girl I just wanna know

Is this shallow love?
Or is it something real?
You make it hard to deal
Not knowing if this is shallow love
The way we live so well
Can make it hard to tell
What she in it for?
What she really in it for?

Nowadays these girls be so ruthless
2 A.M. knocking on my front door, who's this? (Who's this? Who that?)
Girl I don't even know your name (no I don't)
This ain't the time yo
Oh my God this is so insane
Like I ain't even got your number saved in my iPhone

Is this shallow love?
Or is it something real?
You make it hard to deal
Not knowing if this is shallow love
The way we live so well
Can make it hard to tell
What she in it for?
What she really in it for?
Tell me now
Damn
Now tell me now
She in it for, girl?

I don't even fucking know...
