Two Lovers - Lighter Shade Of Brown

Yo I got…

Two lovers and I’m ashamed

Two lovers and I love them both the same

Two lovers and I’m ashamed

I got two lovers and I love them both the same

You know I got two lovers so just call me the mack

As I slang my dirt like this and like that

Kicking up dust from sun down to sun up

Cause for me and mine it ain’t nutting but a come up

What’s going round another sets out to get me

Sweat me, in other words wet me

But the homies from the hood they got my back

Together putting it wide cause it’s like that

One for all and all for one

Yo, there ain’t no sunshine where I’m from

So I live my life by putting in work

Everyday all day cause I got it that way

Striving to survive to keep my family alive

Cause it’s not going to work with a 9 to 5

So I live my life up under the covers

And they call me the man with two lovers

Two lovers and I’m ashamed

Two lovers and I love them both the same

Two lovers and I’m ashamed

I got two lovers and I love them both the same

Well I got two

Not one plus a daughter and a son

I live day by day troubles put me on the run

I stay self employed to buy each kid a toy

Plus I pay the rent, see that’s how my money’s spent

Now as for my lovers I got it undercover

Only one fives and tens just to buy the milk and butter

But that’s okay they don’t know I got a bank roll

Fatter than the super bowl and still play the hero

A zero I’m not and I got a lot of pride

Brown pride that is

So a few of you might not understand

I got the juice together of own brown clan

So I’m the man

Who keeps the life just to keep my family from struggling

The pot is hot and keeps on bubbling

With the lord next to me I’m no different from the others

Except two lovers

Two lovers and I’m ashamed

Two lovers and I love them both the same

Two lovers and I’m ashamed

I got two lovers and I love them both the same

Now I’ve been there and done that came up like a fat rat

Ain’t like they see me can’t be that with a bat

Cause players only love you when they are playing

And if you are playing you know what I’m saying

I’m at the point of no return

So take it from me cause I’ve already been burned

And now I’m singing that sad sad song of how I’ve so fast and died so young

And all good lies must come to an end

If you think this is right, thenyou better ask a friend

Coming from another side point of view

I can feel the heart beat so can you feel it too

Life in the hood shouldn’t be like that

It gets kinda rough when you gotta use a gat

In fact when you have to live with some others

Yo, I’m talking bout two lovers

Two lovers and I’m ashamed

Two lovers and I love them both the same

Two lovers and I’m ashamed

I got two lovers and I love them both the same

Two lovers and I’m ashamed

Two lovers and I love them both the same

Two lovers and I’m ashamed

I got two lovers and I love them both the same
