FOREIGN EXCHANGE Lyrics

A very special day

A very special date

Highline Ballroom

Two thousand and eight

We saw Foreign Exchange

You ordered us chicken wings

And tipped for it in change

We was just city kids with immaculate taste

Little did I know the typical Taurus is vain

Back then we only had IM's to exchange

Facts

What they know 'bout prepaid

What they know 'bout phone cards

The only way to call yard

The only way we gon' connect

Is if you talk from your heart

What's an ice box to a igloo keepin' it hot

What's a nice box of chocolates when you fuck up

Chillin' in my chanclas ain't tryna compromise

You outside living reckless hitting on my line

Dude from the alligator Mauri toe Apollo sign

He used to be like you eccentric ma

With this mango island twist

Hardly seen a gnarly queen like me 

Outside a comic clip

Frontin' on me hard

Couldn't even stop

Fallin' for me hard

Craving the opposite

Yeah

All these years

Thought I wasn't a polished bitch

Now you apologing

Man understand he aint have a chance 

No matter how nice his pants was 

No matter the bands in tandem

He just wanted Jimmy Neutron

From me on his futon 

Til' he met a new chick

And drained her electrons

This can't be what I'm attracting

In my purple velour no velcro don't latch on 

Too smooth can't attach nah

Slow fashion

Tortoise shell sunglass on

Are you typing about

Protect the Black woman

Don't have a clue just clout

No kudos thumbs down

Cool post tho 

Aint get me dollar slice from Two Bros 

When I had the blue mohawk lime green metro 

In my grunge clothes

You ain't wanna walk with me through soho

Like my booty stink and yours don't 

Like I do these things you don't

Who took me to the show

Introduced me to flows frequencies

A new type of intimacy

You let society say you should be ashamed of me

And all this time I coulda sworn I wasn't made to be

I'm too raw

You all talk

You so soft

But could never love me gently

Or genuinely but literally

Im a gem in these streets

Im a gem in these streets
