Beauty and Thug

Lyrics

[Verse 1] [Mary J. Blige] So burgundy, the window to his soul It seems he tapes his eyes closed From huffin' on, that's what he's puffin' on His style is rough, he wears his hair in cornrows His jeans hang loose and low So his—oops—he can't be comfortable I mean, he's gotta be comfortable [Jaheim, Mary J. Blige] Now she's the type That's compared to a rose that grew from the concrete Sweet, you know (So sweet) From the streets, yo Now she's the opposite of he Have you ever seen a lion sleep on the bosom of a sheep? It's beautiful (Yes, they are, baby) Yeah, thug, though [Chorus: Jaheim & Mary J. Blige] She's so beautiful and he's a thug (He's a thug) They're so different yet they're in love (They're in love) He's so thugged out and she's so beautiful (Beautiful) They're so perfect 'cause they're in love (Yeah) [Verse 2] [Mary J. Blige] Picture this, his warm velvet voice on a cold winters night Sugar free, bitter truth Building life from a slang so divine Soul to soul, their flesh pressed From a firm grip of onyx tenderness He signed his name with a venom kiss Upon a heart, I never heard of such bliss [Jaheim, Mary J. Blige, Both] Now she's the opposite of he (Opposite) Such as a butterfly and he's a killer bee Yeah, she becomes a victim to his sting and He's amazed by the colors of her wings and The life he's led has left him with some scars But she viewed them all as mere beauty marks (Yes, I do) The moral of the story, plain as can be He loved her 'cause he is me (You're mine, you're mine, you're mine) [Chorus: Jaheim & Mary J. Blige] She's so beautiful and he's a thug (He's a thug) They're so different yet they're in love (They're in love) He's so thugged out and she's so beautiful (She's so beautiful) They're so perfect 'cause they're in love ('Cause we're in love) She's so beautiful and he's a thug They're so different yet they're in love (But so in love) He's so thugged out and she's so beautiful (So beautiful) They're so perfect 'cause they're in love (My angel, my angel) [Bridge: Jaheim & Mary J. Blige] Da, da-da-da, da, da, da-da-da, da She's beautiful and he's a thug Made for each other 'cause they're in love She's a petal and he's a thorn From a different type of story since they were born [Chorus: Jaheim & Mary J. Blige] She's so beautiful and he's a thug (Yeah, you know) They're so different yet they're in love (Yeah, yeah) He's so thugged out and she's so beautiful They're so perfect 'cause they're in love (We're in love) [Outro: Jaheim & Mary J. Blige] She's so beautiful and he's a thug They're so different yet they're in love He's so thugged out and she's so beautiful They're so perfect 'cause they're in love
