Best Move Lyrics

(Alright let’s get started)

[Hook]
Wrote this for Chanelle, can't remember how it goes. [x4]
Best move
This right here is my best move
Best move
Can't remember how it goes
This my best move
Best move
This here is my best move
Can't remember how it goes

[Verse 1: Street Light]
And the verses probably go: Something bout diamonds, gold
And how you're better, and nothing ever could shine as close
Talk about that perfect smile, know you heard it all befo-
You know how to hold it down and never let my heart beat slow
Or maybe something like: we fought the other night
Cuz I mistakenly angrily text the wrong number, right?
And it happened to be you..and life don't come with a redo--button
But there's no reason for me to ever see that evil.. side
You'd make the perfect bride. You'd be a terrible wife..
Never want you to leave my side. I want you out of my life!
One of a kind, I swear girl, you just so special..
Could find it anytime, I'm already on to the next you...
So sweet, that around her, I never curse
But When I'm around her, she makes me want to shoot rounds of four letter words
I wrote this, I hope you love it. Don't even care if you hear it
I really don't know the subject, forgot the lyrics. But I know one thing: I
[Hook]

[Verse 2: Street Light]
Oh, you expected a love song?
Well, this is. No love lost
I'll always give you back just what you give
As men, you wanna call us dogs every chance that you get
The result of a crushed heart; seen through the crack in your ribs
Believe me, I understand. I've witnessed it and acknowledge
The typical man has issues and you been through hella problems
It's women too. Some people misuse the truth in a promise
And when the victim listens, it don't even sit on their conscience. Hm
But everybody's different. That type of prejudice will make you miss the heaven sent person that maybe God intended...
You said that you don't give chances unless they worthy or deserving
That's that old Jersey Bull like Mike & Pippen..
The dudes that's kindest to you is the kind that you kind of dissing
Nothing new, that's a trait you usually find in finer women
Dimes are a dime a dozen. A guy that will love you isn't
I pray that the perfect husband will wife you, though nonexistent

[Break]
Wrong things. The wrong things. You worry bout the wrong things. The wrong things
You worry bout the wrong things. The wrong things. You worry bout the wrong things

[Verse 3: Street Light]
To the women I've been hanging with: thank you for patience
God connected us a for a reason even if we ain't dating
Tinashe, Tori, and Alex, I think you're simply amazing
Just in case I never told you. I know we all bout to make it
And lastly, to the woman who had the attention of mine
For the last three years, weird. Time is flying..
But I've never been better. And I've observed enough of our character
To know that this should be the last letter...
[Hook]

[Outro: Street Light]
About the Wrong things. The wrong things. You worry bout the wrong things. The wrong things
You worry bout the wrong things. The wrong things. You-
Shoutout to Kanye West on that, I should be like-
Worry bout the wrong things. The wrong things. You worry bout the wrong things. The wrong things
You worry bout the wrong things. The wrong things
Would you take an off day? One off day?
*Laugh*

Best Move, and uhh- Happy birthday Chanelle
Peace. Dark Summer
