El Michels Affair & Black Thought - Miracle Lyrics

[Verse 1]Before I started gettin' to that money pileA corner store puppy love, sugar pie, honey childThat always kept the vibe like two eggs, 'pon the sunny sidePromised she would never front and never do me funny styleFunny how I still remember everything I had to doUsed to be magical to walk along the avenueI was just one of a few, you probably never had a clueHow much I really sacrificеd, it's true, I ain't mad at youYou lived across the tracks, I camе 'cause I cared for youPut Luster's pink oil moisture in my head for youI couldn't even dance, I turned into Fred Astaire for youTryna stand a chance, layin' out what I would wear for youOn the night before I saw you just to be prepared for itI keep the conversation inside of my headOr you wrote your phone number in my palm, now I'm clairvoyantI could see your heart was right where Cupid had his spare pointedUpstarts in the blowout, no way that we could know howThirty years into the future, it ain't even safe to go outWith all my fliers gone, the sauna can't show up to show outIt's to the past I dedicate what I'm about to pour out, yo[Interlude]Lil' bit of liquor for you[Verse 2]I said, I still remember all you used to put me throughSwedish Fish and Windmill cookies when we hooky schoolAll your friends was talkin' 'bout, "That rookie ain't no good for you"Before we took it through first base, they see me with the crewAnd dime drop, had me in that 3:15 time slotDown at Broad and Morris posted at the 29 stopFront of those apartments, money with the funny eyesGot bogarted by some guys tryna rob him out his IzodLacoste or Polo, not to be confused with Ralph LaurenLike it's mischief night, mischievous dudes was out tourin'Tryna pick a fight or to pimp the system or just livin' lifeI be tryna get into some mischief of a different typeWe'd stay on the phone like we was grown, if you recall'Til your pops'd get the chip and then I'd holler at you tomorrowMakin' mixtapes, Stevie Wonder, Stacy LattisawNew Edition, Switch, Patty need some Williams and DeBargeDriftin' in the dawn, everything was innocent and pureFast forward, I know ain't nobody innocent no moreWe lost the human connection like the ligament was tornI'm just reminiscin' back when kissin' wasn't against the lawListen
