Every Jungle Needs A King
Never been one for appearances and negative images
Before we move into it just let me finish this
And I can tell you about the way that he did it
The smooth way that he spit it and how he had me up in it
The situation had me thinking I was caught in a dream
Now I'm a fiend hoping I don't burst at the seams
Overdosing on his sweetness he had a weakness
He was on the low so we had to creep this
Now everybody got it all figured out
Got me pegged as a home wrecker
Need to check your own record
Then you will see what this is really about
He gave me moments that I can't live without
Figure this out?
The first time I every saw a king
The first time that it occurred to me
That it just might be more than admiration for me
He had a smile that could part the sea
Six foot
Brown skin
Bowlegged with the grayest eyes
Brushwaves
Tight fade
So I gave him time
Had no number so I gave him mine
He was anxious
Wanted more than conversation
I said he had to be patient
Baby, we were barely acquainted
But he had me bated
So, what's the sense in us waiting
He had a place that was vacant
Said he hoped I could make it
It was really unexpected but I had to respect it
Dripping with affection it was more than erections
I would listen when he spoke
Much like a therapy session
Another level of rapture too hard to capture
Could he really be the smooth operator I'm after
He told me things that I will never forget
Only a man can understand just how deep it can get
Who would believe he has desires he can never reveal
Had an urge he couldn't purge until the need was fulfilled
Never had a moment of silence
Never had a day without violence
Never thought that he would find this
Moment of peace that he found with me
John Basil was his name but it was Steve to me
That's how we met
Looking for a place to be kept
It would kill him if you knew how he stepped
Sometimes the hardest places (and spaces)
Are right where you are
That's why these faces navigate in the dark
Treading lightly on a course
But of course it's never meant to last
We played it fast but got lost in the draft
Inhibitions spilled out and no doubt they led him to me
An underworld he never thought you'd see
I know he told you I was only a friend
He was a star and I was more than a fan
Now like a line in the sand I reappear on demand
When he needs me
The only one who treats me good
That's why I laid it on him like only a brother could
I know his spots?
Got what he got?
And when you not
I make it hot
Make it hard if you want to
If you really think he still wants you
I know it haunts you
I did the things that you won't do
What one woman won't the next man will
And the thrill of being kept was real
If I was his Mars and you was his Venus
Then he was the sun that kept it warm between us
You said he cheated now you're heated
Don't believe him but he never lied
You never asked him if he ever led another life
I'ma tell you the truth and get it out in the open
I'm hoping you could see it and if not then let it soak in
Bleed inside your mental it was not coincidental
That my phone was in your Lexus rental
