I can't read your damn mind
But when I hold your hand, I
I can feel you
I can feel your life lines
I can't read your damn mind
But when I hold your hand, I (Hey)
I can see you (I can see you, I can see you)
I can see you (I can see you, I can see you)
I can see you
She don't love nobody
Still take care your body, it's insane
He just wants my body
I can't date no zombie, not my lane
Can't wait in your lobby
******' ain't no hobby, up your game
If you see somebody
Not just anybody, don't say names
I gotta let go of rage
If I wanna turn that page
Loving me down
The build up is in my veins
If I wanna sing your name
Loving the way you taste
The blessing comes down, no praise
I can't read your damn mind
But when I hold your hand, I
I can feel you
I can feel your life lines
I can't read your damn mind
But when I hold your hand, I (Hey)
I can see you (I can see you, I can see you)
I can see you (I can see you, I can see you)
I can see you
Tell me what's on your mind, stressin' you this evening (Why?)
I am not a palm reader, yeah
And I do not know telepathy (Nope)
So tell me what you stressin', you ain't gotta tell me everything
But if you tell me nothin', shorty I ain't singin' anything
And you gon' tell your best friend everything
Apparently, that's that type of **** that "bring Black folk down"
****, or even if your skin ain't brown
Quit, don't be all petty Betty
Stuck in your ways like peanut butter without no jelly
You ain't no gangsta, "Thug Life" tatted on your belly
You wearin' Band-Aids on your heart make you look like Nelly
Then you said hold your hand, like you tryna slow dance
You on that conscious ****, tryna put me in a trance
You said you can't read my mind ****
I can't read your damn mind
But when I hold your hand, I
I can feel you
I can feel your life lines
I can't read your damn mind
But when I hold your hand, I
I can see you (I can see you, I can see you)
I can see you (I can see you, I can see you)
I can see you
Something got you off in your life,
Somebody got at you wrong, there's some other **** going on
Over there that I don't see.
You see what I'm saying?
Like, I see what you're saying, and I feel you
I feel like
Matter of fact, I agree with you, matter of fact
Nah, I agree with you too, but
I feel like what you're describing is like,
Literally empathy, like being empathetic,
Like instead of reacting
Or taking something personal
When somebody be on some bogus **** to you,
Like damn you probably going through some ****,
You prolly, you know what I'm saying?
You got something going on in your life
Nah, 'cause that's where it stems from, like thats where that
Because you know how you feel when you, exactly
Yeah, I know how, I know how I'm feeling
That's you empathizing with them
I'm just saying I know when I'm feeling nothing.
'Cause I'm lowkey square right now
Right
And I know you feel it
I know the reason you giving me off is
'Cause you not square about something,
But I ain't did **** to you,
So I know it's about something else
