VERSE 1 – “THE ROT”
You got me,
’cause my ears were laid over near that trash,
and the smell—
the rot—
became your open-mouthed words speaking.
I had to get away
from that smell
and that rot.
Think about it…
Who is he,
and what is this man to you?
He lures you into his bedroom,
eases you down upon the bed.
“Let nature take its course,” he said.
Lessons.
Transported into passion—
words full of honey,
sweet, delicious,
melting you with heat and desire.
Something mysterious about him…
I heard warnings,
but I needed a man right now.
“Who is he?”
I asked myself,
but the desire said,
“I don’t care.”
VERSE 2 – “THE SWITCH”
Six months.
That’s all it lasted.
Now he’s sitting on my couch
as if it’s his own—
laid out on my bed,
talking ‘bout,
“I’m looking for a job,”
TV on,
food everywhere,
nothing cleaned up.
It’s time for him to get out.
Had to get rid of all the bad feelings.
When he walked out the door,
I found something out…
Ooo-ioo-ooo—
I just can’t be—
no, no, no—
why me?
Calm down, girl…
I just can’t wait to find out the truth.
Oh no…
VERSE 3 – “THE REVEAL”
I told myself,
“I can’t surrender to him.
I can’t be pregnant by this man.
I gotta get him off me.”
But it’s too late—
desire won’t let me.
I said,
“You must go!”
But then out of his mouth:
“I finally got you.
I finally got you.
I got you.
I got you.”
Who is he?
Don’t take no rocket scientist to see it.
Red hot body heat
all over your body—
felt like somebody else was on top of me.
You had warnings.
You were told to turn around—
but you didn’t.
Told to call somebody—
but you didn’t.
The devil doesn’t come shaking hands.
He comes to love you down,
make promises he won’t keep,
make you surrender everything.
He comes in all forms and shapes,
right through your man.
But that’s just my ears to the ground—
you hear things you don’t wanna hear.
Cloudwalker said it like this:
“You got me,
because my ears were near that trash.
The smell of the rot
became the words speaking.
I had to get away
from that smell
and that rot.t
CHORUS (Hook) 2 female vocals
You got me caught up in the heat, in the fire,
Blinded by the touch, by the thrill, by desire.
Should’ve listened to the voice telling me to walk away,
Now I’m sitting in the truth of the mess that you made.
Ooo, I feel the rot, feel the poison you bring…
Why did I fall for a man like him?
No, no… I can’t surrender again.
I can’t surrender again
