Cup of Love (Fools)

Lyrics

[Intro: Raphael Saadiq] Listen up [Chorus: Raphael Saadiq & Reuben Vincent] Not looking for a Grammy, never cared for awards Just lovin' my life like a country boy Just livin' in the city with a bunch of crime See, mama's workin', oh, what a life Daddy's workin', tryna save his kids Kids at school breakin' all the rules You gotta move from the danger from 8 to 3 And the courtyard's full with a couple of fools With a couple of fools With a couple of fools With a couple of, with a couple of fools With a couple of fools With a couple of, with a couple of fools With a couple of fools (Of fools) With a couple of, with a couple of fools With a couple of fools (Of fools) With a couple of, with a couple of fools [Verse: Reuben Vincent] If love becomes a crime, then my heart is in these rhymes Let mother bе our nature and father be our timе And God gon' give us signs, on every hilltop, there's a shrine I'm just tryna be like water, transform into wine My sin is nonexistent, I'm tryna be optimistic The sounds are from a black, just keep your head up to the sky My mother's out of speech 'cause I still can hear her cries Her pain, her sorrow, I borrowed on this ride I'm swervin' through lanes Caught five from the tree bags of California haze just to balance out my days Much enjoying pain I'm wrestling with God, though I know that we are one like Beverly and Maze From the cradle to the cage, gotta crawl 'fore you walk 'em down We're dodgin' rounds to hear applause on stage Your choices on the move, my niggas never prayed Ain't bowin' on knees when they don't feel safe I always used to tell 'em it's no place like home Until I realized that home is not a place It follows you no matter what you try to have replace it Embrace it, all from the real to the snakes In order to survive, gotta live with mistakes I took some big L's like I'm diggin' in the crates I done went against the odds, the norms, the stakes To this day, I still do whatever it takes 'cause I'm [Chorus: Raphael Saadiq & Reuben Vincent] Not looking for a Grammy (I ain't lookin' for a Grammy), never cared for awards (Never cared for awards) Just lovin' my life (Lovin' my), like a country boy (Like a country boy, yeah) Just livin' in the city (Livin' in the 704), with a bunch of crime (With a bunch of fah-fah-fah-fah) See, mama's workin' (Mama stay workin'), oh, what a life Daddy's workin' (Daddy's workin'), tryna save his kids (Tryna save his kids) Kids at school (Kids at school), breakin' all the rules (Tryna break the damn rules) You gotta move from the danger (Stay outta trouble), from 8 to 3 And the courtyard's full (Uh), with a couple of fools (Just a couple of fools) With a couple of fools With a couple of fools With a couple of (We a couple of), with a couple of fools (Just a couple of fools) With a couple of fools (Of fools) With a couple of, with a couple of fools With a couple of fools (Of fools) With a couple of (Yeah), with a couple of fools (Ayy) With a couple of fools (Of fools) With a couple of (Uh), with a couple of fools (Ayy) With a couple of fools (Of fools) With a couple of (Yeah), with a couple of fools (Ayy) With a couple of fools (Of fools) With a couple of (Uh), with a couple of fools (Ayy) With a couple of fools (Of fools) With a couple of (Yeah), with a couple of fools (Ayy) With a couple of fools (Of fools) With a couple of (Uh), with a couple of fools (Ayy)
