"To B Honest" lyrics
Jill Scott & JID Lyrics
I really would like to hold you
Won't you please let me in?
But I really would like to know you
Let me be your friend
I really would like to hold you
Won't you please let me in?
I really would like to know you
Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah
Let me be your friend
Ooh, baby
I get that it's hard times in every single neighborhood worldwide
But you're holding on to something that ain't right
Ain't right (Ain't right)
Got your shoulders on too high
Got your soul wound too tight
Lemme give you something good and right
Lemme give you something good and right
I really would like to hold you
Won't you please let me in?
Won't you please?
I really would like to know you
Let me be your friend
I really would like to hold you
Won't you please let me in?
Won't you please let me in?
I really would like to know you
Let me know you, baby
Let me be your friend
Aw, baby, it's crazy, crazy
Whole world gone upside down and faded on hatred
But me and you
So much love to give
So much work to do
Come on and come on through
Uh, look, uh
I met you in the breeze where the hummingbird sings
In the summer through the mumbles of the birds and the bees
And a bountiful blossom of beautiful flowers and trees
I could spend hours at ease
Showered and powdered, the pollen is powerful
Napkin in hand to prepare for a sneeze
Parables, passages packed for the read
I'm hoping you see I'm not not what you need
Knock when I enter the room
May I please share this space and energy?
Time don't waste no memory
No wine, no waste, no anything
A line don't chase no symmetry
Like science, I feel chemistry
So I'm praying to a higher entity
If it's meant to be and it's meant for me
Can I really squeeze you?
I really would like to hold you
Won't you please let me in?
We should know each other
We should know each other
Lemme be your friend
Everybody need a friend
Won't you let me in?
I wanna know you
Come on
Everybody need a friend
Everybody need a friend
Everybody need a
Babe
Tell me what's going on
I understand
But that thing
That ain't gon' stop us
When beauty is the path
The pebbles and the rocks fall aside
You handle just so much
But you don't have to do it alone
I'm right here
Oh, babe
Oh, I
Let me see your real side
Won't you please let me in?
But I really would like to know you
Let me be your friend
I really would like to hold you
Won't you please let me in?
I really would like to know you
Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah
Let me be your friend
Ooh, baby
I get that it's hard times in every single neighborhood worldwide
But you're holding on to something that ain't right
Ain't right (Ain't right)
Got your shoulders on too high
Got your soul wound too tight
Lemme give you something good and right
Lemme give you something good and right
I really would like to hold you
Won't you please let me in?
Won't you please?
I really would like to know you
Let me be your friend
I really would like to hold you
Won't you please let me in?
Won't you please let me in?
I really would like to know you
Let me know you, baby
Let me be your friend
Aw, baby, it's crazy, crazy
Whole world gone upside down and faded on hatred
But me and you
So much love to give
So much work to do
Come on and come on through
