Highwire Love

Lyrics

[Intro: DJ Drez scratches with overlapping conversations] "Love..." "Love..." "Love..." "Love..." [Verse 1: The Grouch] Treatin' the lady in your life right's not uncool Think back to all the good things she's done for you Why you wanna lock her in the house? (Why?) And when she tell the truth you wanna pop her in the mouth? That ain't right, it's suicidal All she ever did was make you look good when you ridin' Plus you have someone to confide in She's your other wing, how you glidin'? Without that, you out back, forgettin' about the facts of life Testosteroned out, actin' like you wanna fight Really you want love Silly, if you stop it, she could fit you like a glove [Pre-Chorus: The Grouch] Girls, the girls, they love me Girls, the girls, they love me Girls, the girls, they love me Girls, the girls, they love me [Chorus: The Grouch & Eligh] I can't do it by myself What is God without Earth? Without Him, it might stop Every good man needs a woman and a woman needs a man We need balance in life and Hip-Hop [Verse 2: Eligh] If I can't be myself, I'm by myself That's what I gotta remember if I'm placed on a back shelf Sitting alone on the front porch with a bottle of moonshine Couldn't handle that bottle of sunshine It was too strong for one heart to contain, no one line From a book of poetry could make it right On my flight, my path took me where it did Took me too long to realize the simple truth That now I'm all decrepit on a porch with a hundred proof Change my ways, rearrange my days Feel the comfort of a love affair to play inside, like a byline Fresh like the bride to the touch of a groom In a room full of folk that ya love, giving hugs Pull the plug – when the passion is gone I'm lashing out against the world, because my love is my girls And my girls consists of two things on this Earth that I feel One's my best friend and one lives in the periphery Being on this planet, can't even be true I love the both of you I love the both of you [Pre-Chorus: The Grouch] Girls, the girls, they love me Girls, the girls, they love me Girls, the girls, they love me Girls, the girls, they love me [Chorus: The Grouch & Eligh] I can't do it by myself What is God without Earth? Without Him, it might stop Every good man needs a woman and a woman needs a man We need balance in life and Hip-Hop [Verse 3: Grouch] How you treat a flower like a stick? On a power trip Only a coward flips out on a female Mad when she get attention That's your own insecurity, like you didn't have a pension Settin' rules and double standards (What?!) 'Cause you ain't cool You're troubled and scared Be a man, there's a way to treat a woman Let her be herself, or else she'll hate to see you comin' Strong and stunning Confident and cunnin With a softer side, to keep 'em running to ya I'ma punt it to ya like like this, catch it: Treat your love right, or someone might snatch it [Pre-Chorus: The Grouch] Girls, the girls, they love me Girls, the girls, they love me Girls, the girls, they love me Girls, the girls, they love me [Chorus: The Grouch & Eligh] I can't do it by myself What is God without Earth? Without Him, it might stop Every good man needs a woman and a woman needs a man We need balance in life and Hip-Hop I can't do it by myself What is God without Earth? Without Him, it might stop Every good man needs a woman and a woman needs a man We need balance in life and Hip-Hop [Outro: DJ Drez scratches] "Man and woman..." "Life..." "Man and woman... "Life..." "Life..." "Life" "Life..." "Man and woman..." "Love" "Love" "Love" "Love..." "Man and woman..." "Life" "Life" "Life..."
