Lighter Shade of Brown - Two Lovers LYRICS

* send corrections to the typist



(Chorus Repeat 2X)

Two lovers

And I'm ashamed

Two lovers and I love them both the same



(Verse 1)

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

As I slang my dirt like this and like that

Kickin up dust from sun down to sun up

Cause for me and mine it ain't nuttin but a come up

What's goin 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

Strivin to survive to keep my family alive

Cause it's not goin 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



(Chorus Repeat 2X)



(Verse 2)

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 so comployed 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 strugglin

The pot is hot and keeps on bubblin

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

Except two lovers



(Chorus Repeat 2X)



(Verse 3)

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 poin of no return

So take it from cause I ve already been burned

And now I'm singin that sad sad song of how I ved so fast and died so young



(Verse 4)

And all good lies must come to an end

If you think this is right you 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



(Chorus)
