How Do I Tell Her?

Okay so, how i tell her this shit?
its like
every single thing about her is something i like
but like
i aint supposed to like her this fast
not like this
like u know its gettin deep when you keep on saying like
so like
what i'm sayin is...
like, how i tell her this shit?
i cant say i hear saxophones when i see your picture
she gonna say i'm trippin
and i aint even a sucker for love
she just different
but she all the same in a few lil ways
and the game is still the game and
everybody plays
but when the truth sound like game
and sweet turns syrupy
what can a player do but lay back?
you feel me?
how i tell her this shit?
should i just not say shit?
not say shit bout the calls she missed
that i didnt get back
she was busy, she couldn't get back
like, i aint even supposed to notice that
it aint her fault i like her like way too much
to the point i wanna fall back
cus if i was standing on a box
could i trust her
and fall back?
Cuz i would make that catch
but the player in me says
very nice jerry rice
but think twice
pride wont let me like her more
so even tho she likes me 2
it kills me to care this much
the heart is like a gun
it can be your best friend
or your downfall
and this gun sleeps with me
but this gun doesn't sleep
so i try to keep the safety on it at least
cuz if it slips...
they call it murder out in the street
but who dies her or me?
how do i even begin to tell her shit?
how do u start some shit like this off?
she's my friend but she's so much more
i would love for her to be so much more
way to go, Fat Joe, the player in me says
you dont even kno her Mr. Said
pride tells me don't call her no more
but the heart is like a gun
i pull it out
point it at that prideful player
and tell him to fall back,
bitch!
or should i not?
i shouldn't even tell her this shit
too much energy
too much work
too many disclaimers
theprecedingsoliloquoydoesnotneccesarilyrepresenttheviewsandopionsheldbythestaffandmanagementof
Nuff Said the young live player, incorporated
its just too much
too much effort to say it
to try to well-state it
cuz she'll probably take it the wrong way instead
but it feels like something needs to be said
so how i tell her this shit
i should type it up,
print it out and mail her this shit
or publish it in a book and sell her this shit
because being on stage in front of thousands of people is one thing
but being face to face with that person that makes you bite your lip...
"she's got whatever it is
it blows me away
she's everything i wanna say to a woman but i couldn't find the words to say"

but when she around i play it off slick
i'll never tell her this shit
