Ahmir - No Black & Blue Lyrics

[Verse 1: Mr. Jones]
Lately feels like all we do is fight
Temper out of control
Damage done to our souls
Trying not to be abusive physically
But already, verbally, I'm hurting you
You're hurting me

[Chorus:]
Why does love have to be a battle
Why do we fight when we don't have to
You throw ish barely miss I grab you
No black and blue, no black and blue
Why does love have to be a battle
Every time I push, you gotta pull
You throw ish barely miss I grab you
No black and blue, no black and blue

[Verse 2: Sing-Sing]
So close, but I hesitate, turn my back count to 10 slowly walk away
Just as I start to ease my mind, I hear footsteps come up from behind
Saying rah, rah, rah... blah, blah, blah
Don't walk away from me when I talk
You're so mad at me, I'm so mad at you
We're not supposed to be close to the black and the blue

[Chorus]

[Bridge:]
But I'll never hit you, I won't be like my pop he had issues
Cause he and my mom went through this too
Solving problems with cursing and fists too
So on that note, baby I'll miss you
Cause I'm leaving right now it's official
So like I said, I'll never hit you
Cause I won't stay around
Tearing you down letting you tear me down

[Chorus]
