Poetry - Tamia

He said, it’s like the grass that grows between the cracks of ghetto streets

Relentless, in spite of, the never lasting

I said, baby, damn you got lyrics

(Make it like)

Make it like, poetry

The thugged out, pimped out, images release them

Save those roles for the young souls who believe them

I want the undefinable, indescribable, and more

But yet so clear when you walk through that door

I said, I want it hard, mystical, tender and correct

Without expectations but all of them met

Take me around the world but please come direct and

Speak to me, speak to my heart

(Make it like) Poetry

Make it like poetry, poetry, poetry

Give your flow slow to me, give it all night

Make it like poetry, poetry, poetry

Everything wrong you see make it alright

Make it like

Kisses of raindrops wash away the pain

Each stroke’s a journey on a long train to a

New destination a new meditation of love

A realization of possibilities he says to me

I’ve given hard, mystical, tender and correct

Without expectations yet all of them met

Take me around the world but please come direct and

Speak to me, speak to my heart

(Repeat Chorus)

Make it like

To be or not to be won’t be any question

Make it like

The slings of arrows of outrageous love are gone

Make it like

A dream I can touch, a dream I can feel

Make it like

Only you, only you can take me there

Make it like

Poetry, poetry, poetry

(Repeat Chorus until fade)

Yeah Poetry
