Complexity Lyrics - The Roots

(Jill Scott) 

I've been wondering about the Complexity 

Of what we have it shouldn't be 

More 

Just can't see 

More 

(Black Thought) 

You're physically in this, but how can we tell 

If we was meant to be in bliss if you're not mentally as well 

This energy you're sending me is tricky as hell 

Usually it's like a 50/50 we can take an L 

Before we start things 

At this point being apart brings 

The feeling of somebody plucking at your heart-strings 

I know it probably shouldn't feel like this 

But any other woman I see is in your likeness 

It's from your cheekbones... 

To your lips... 

To your curves... 

To your deep moans... 

To that walk... 

To your words... 

Your love feelin' like a breakdown on the verve 

First we on good terms, then you're on my last nerve 

Got my back just aching 

My Shoes is all tight 

It's too complex when we choose to do it right 

It's wrong 

One minute you a soldier - strong 

Then you turn around talking 'bout its over and gone. 

(i swear to god...)

(Black Thought) 

When your boyfriend's in town it's bound to be trouble, love 

His name Black and he known to be a lover of 

Gettin' it on with my smokers jacket on 

Eyes racin' back and forth 

Listening to Chaka Kahn 

Tryin' to 

Figure the cause 

Why you always hackin' off 

Like I'm slackin' off 

Maybe our signals getting crossed 

What the case, love? 

You feel like you makin' a waste of 

Your precious time? - You need to get a taste of 

Some space to breathe, a moment as friends 

We shoulda felt ourselves slippin' into it again 

'Cuz it's like 

Off and on, on and off 

Passion - Lost and found, found and lost 

Clashin', askin' for nothing but understanding 

Your heart's made of glass, use care in handling 

Girl - all-in-all I never leave you stranded 

'Cuz my respect you commanded 

(you figure it out...)

(Black Thought) 

I used to come into the party 

And stand around 

'Cuz I was kinda too shy to really get down 

I used to, play the corner 

And watch the scene 

Deep down, knowing I wanted, to find me a queen 

And I can feel that in my stomach 

And up in my chest 

Because I knew a lot of women, and some was fresh 

But then I found you, girl and just like me 

You had a heart that was yearning to be set free 

Now listen 

See you and me need to take the time 

To erase any doubt that's inside your mind 

Its not a mountain that I'm ever too tired to climb 

And who's counting? - But I know at least a thousand times 

I let you know I'm here for you, care for you, and confide in you 

Break bread, share with you and provide for you 

And that's full time - it's no 9 to 5 with you 

That's why I'm tryin' to work it out with you 

(Let's go.)
