I Will Cook For You

See you can't be afraid to say what you need to say

Even if others try to speculate

I feel some kind of way

Like the way you always tell me "Good Morning"

or could it be the way you check up on me throughout the day

You're a black educated man

Who gives me more than just quick feelings

You inspire me to be better

Please get on a plane & come see me

Are you from California?? 

Because you bring nothing but sunshine

Are you from Ethiopia??

Because you're skin-tone is Heaven

Do you really open doors?

You must be from Alabama

All I wanna do is see you...

Yes, I will cook for you

Even though that's not what I do

You make me wanna change for you...

Even though you're not what I'm used to

Yes, I will cook for you

Tell me...how do you stay so consistent??

Am I really the first thing on your mind when you rise?

How do you become so persistent to encourage me to stay around your way?

What do I have to do to stay next to you?

What words do I have to speak to continue to make you think

Of me...the way that you do?

Do you want some chicken wings?

How about some fish & grits....with a little cheese on it.

Do you want brown rice or white?

I will hurry & go fix it.

Yes, I will cook for you

I'll take really good care of you

You ask me how I know...because I'm investing into something that I can't even see but I can feel.

But, don't have me cooking meals for you if you don't plan on showing up for dinner

Don't be making me bake you pies if you're not showing up to dinner

See you can't be afraid to say what you need to say

Even if others try to speculate

I feel some kind of way

You make me wanna change....
But why haven't I found you???
