Coretta Lyrics
[Procuced by TEC BEATZ]
[Verse 1]
All I wanna say is I adore you
I swear to God, I'd do anything for you
If you need an engineer, I'll record you
I go to school to be a lawyer just to court you
Shit, it's hard bein' faithful for a black guy
Especially when you're signed to a rap god
But for you I'll go to church and get baptized
Girl your body drive me crazy like a cab ride in Manhattan
I wanna do everything your man hasn't
Me without you, I just can't imagine
I thought that this was more than a friendship
You're worth more than any girl I've ever been with
When you said you wasn't ready for a new guy
Like a baby with his shoes untied, I didn't trip
All I wanted was some time alone
I'm not a fossil so I was never tryna bone
You probably took my number out your phone
So since you like music, I thought that I should write a song
I ain't here to talk about who right or wrong
I'm used to bein' single, baby girl, I feel right at home
Let's get a townhouse in Maryland, I know that we American
But I wish we could live our life in Rome
Paris is even better, so Coretta
I'm finna make a little cheddar, I just wanna know if we can
[Verse 1]
All I wanna say is I adore you
I swear to God, I'd do anything for you
If you need an engineer, I'll record you
I go to school to be a lawyer just to court you
Shit, it's hard bein' faithful for a black guy
Especially when you're signed to a rap god
But for you I'll go to church and get baptized
Girl your body drive me crazy like a cab ride in Manhattan
I wanna do everything your man hasn't
Me without you, I just can't imagine
I thought that this was more than a friendship
You're worth more than any girl I've ever been with
When you said you wasn't ready for a new guy
Like a baby with his shoes untied, I didn't trip
All I wanted was some time alone
I'm not a fossil so I was never tryna bone
You probably took my number out your phone
So since you like music, I thought that I should write a song
I ain't here to talk about who right or wrong
I'm used to bein' single, baby girl, I feel right at home
Let's get a townhouse in Maryland, I know that we American
But I wish we could live our life in Rome
Paris is even better, so Coretta
I'm finna make a little cheddar, I just wanna know if we can

(Spend it together)
They say time is money so can we (spend it together)
(I wanna get together and spend it with you)
Monday through Sunday I wanna (spend it together)
I'm goin' on a vacation where the skies are sunny so can we (spend it together)
If God said I only had a day to live, I wanna (spend it with you)
[Verse 2]
I just wanna see you in Celine
Yeah I'm a Prynce but I see you as a queen
Pick a team, it's like I'm D Wade and you Lebron
I'm your partner, I just wanna see you with a ring
I see you in my dreams
Either you a stranger or my wife, shit, I don't see you in between
Cause to call yourself a girlfriend is such an injustice
That's just another name for a girl you hit the club with
My parents still together so I really know what love is
No baby mama but I love kids
If treatin' you with respect is a crime
Then I'll do any amount of time that the judge give
I'd rather be aside you
Some niggas rather be in Club LIV
Cause I don't know how long God gon' let a thug live
Before the rest of my time here I wish that we could
(Spend it together)
They say time is money so can we (spend it together)
(I wanna get together and spend it with you)
Monday through Sunday I wanna (spend it together)
I'm goin' on a vacation where the skies are sunny so can we (spend it together)
If God said I only had a day to live, I wanna (spend it with you)
[Verse 2]
I just wanna see you in Celine
Yeah I'm a Prynce but I see you as a queen
Pick a team, it's like I'm D Wade and you Lebron
I'm your partner, I just wanna see you with a ring
I see you in my dreams
Either you a stranger or my wife, shit, I don't see you in between
Cause to call yourself a girlfriend is such an injustice
That's just another name for a girl you hit the club with
My parents still together so I really know what love is
No baby mama but I love kids
If treatin' you with respect is a crime
Then I'll do any amount of time that the judge give
I'd rather be aside you
Some niggas rather be in Club LIV
Cause I don't know how long God gon' let a thug live
Before the rest of my time here I wish that we could
