Around 1968
Long before internet
Much more divided in race
Two had made a connection
I'm not aware of the date
I just know they were young
Man they were still in their teens
In the midst of the civil rights
And riots right on their streets
God had brought them together
And they were never the same
Soon went on to get saved
And if you think that's insane
How's about this for change
Next year in the holidays
Welcomed the first of many
Children that they went on to have
Anytime they told their story it
Was easy to grasp
Seemed to click from jump
Though they had lots of growing to do
Tested through the rough patches
And never had retreated on back
And speak of that
In blackened room I'm active moving
At night it's past 12
Wonder if before they had
Thoughts that I can't shelve
Before they met each and sparks
Flew and fell
Did they ever have a doubt
In their mind and ask themselves
What will it take for me
To give love one more try
Torn apart in ways you can't believe
Why give love one more try
Then 20 years later
Is when their eldest of 5
Styled with the curl activator
Working tryna get paper
At the local BK
Chillin doing his job
Til randomly one day
This tiny girl whip through the drive through
Her order was placed
I imagine she had pulled up with
A smile on her face
Or whatever the state
She was in I don't know
Then he hit her with a line so corny
It'll pop on the stove
They won't put it to bed rest
How could they when in only a few months
She had said yes
And he couldn't care less
About what others said
You going too fast
I get it you want me to go and
Make the best moves
But go'on head
I'm focused on me you handle you
A year and a half later they publicly
Said I do
Had 3 boys that of the which
I'm number 2
Wonder if they too
Before they had met
Were once confused like
What will it take for me
To give love one more try
Torn apart in ways you can't believe
Why give love one more try
And now it falls right on D
This little story of mine
Lined up with those before me
The similarities with those and others
Bearing their rings
It gave me hope
I's believing this year was my timing
A heartbreak lied around the corner
When it didn't work out
Engagement failed in the worst way
Couldn't think this about
Any phase of life I enter into
And these deep wounds
Overload my sentimental mental
Pushed like something's worked against you
Feels like it's harder than it gotta be
I suffer more in my head
Than in reality
Wonder if it'll be real
And not a fantasy
50 years in marriage
Grandparents are more than
Blessed to see
Feels like my generation
Quits on love too fast
Unaware of power that it do have
That is not the way I wanna do that
This obstacle I'll move that
Tho my past makes it hard
To give it new chance
What will it take for me
To give love one more try
Torn apart in ways you can't believe
Why give love one more try
What will it take for me
To give love one more try
Torn apart in ways you can't believe
Why give love one more try
