catch my drift

If ur comin, lets get this thing goin.
 Cuz i ain't about to follow u off the deep end, oh no.
 U gotta give this man somethin to believe in.
 N I've been patient all my life beneath this grin.
 I'm not about to give into hollow promises.
 As one more surrenderin fool of helplessness.
 U gotsta step in a lively fashion.
 Have a lil understandin within ur passion.
 We all walk where our feet will take us.
 If ya wanna walk with me, well, u gotta shake off the dust.
 It ain't got a damn thing to do with touch alone.
 If i told u once, it should be enough to know.
 I'm not into playin parts, so deliver me some reason.
 Cuz this world changes four times a year with it's conditional seasons.
 Don't go actin like u know what u have, if u can't watch my back.
 It'll only lead u to a place, i call my past.
 Come on, lets go.
 Side steppin this thing, won't define a home.
 What u see in me is who i am.
 Don't go tryin to change me into another man.
 Match my patience n caress my luv.
 That's the way i live, not the way i crush.
 Can u hear me talkin?
 Do u listen to these footprints a walkin?
 If a woman is what u are, bring it on.
 Cuz I've been waitin all my life, to pluck a chord.
 Settin free the rest of me, in a moment of truth.
 Woman, i got me n can find a use for u.
 It's not what u think, it's what u know.
 N u get what u give, if the cold wind blows.
 So say what u will, jus back it up.
 N i jus may allow myself to fall in luv.
 Now I'm not tellin u I'm perfect n all.
 But i know enough, not to get involved.
 Take off that fake up, that make up of a mask.
 Show yourself, so what's real can last.
 If ur wantin to rise in the mornin next to me.
 Then stop livin in ur own selfish dreams.
 This man of purpose is in luv with life.
 N do about anything for a down to earth wife.
 But I'm not lookin on the curbside for a floozy.
 I ain't lookin at all, for someone to lose me.
 Cuz they couldn't stand their ground, n catch my drift.
 I'm good with livin my life, if she's the typical slit.
 I don't want no problems, n won't give u mine.
 But if u care to walk with me, i believe i can find some quality time.
 Jus don't go gettin any big ideas up in ya head.
 Imaginin ur any better than me, cuz I'll consider my options instead.
 U be u n I'll be what i know is me.
 As these feet we have, will stomp a beat.
 For half steppin a friend is jus down right wrong.
 Ya better come with it, or I'll farewell ya a goodbye n a happy so long.
 I won't be a witness to the chains, weighin down my heart.
 But I'll luv u til the end, til this luv is scared.
 Girl, if u knew what i know, you'd come around.
 I ain't plannin on time tellin me the ticks are to damn loud.
 Wastin breathes n comin undone.
 No that ain't me, i am not the one.
 To go chasin what should already be, in luv with me.
 I don't have it in me, n won't turn on my sensitivities.
 If ur gonna be like those freeloadin women, along for the ride.
 Realize I'm a rare breed, n i own my mind.
 As real as it gets, i talk no lies of thieves.
 So where's ur mind at woman, is it comin with me?
 Cuz u have a life to live, n i got mine that's worn.
 Written upon my face, where ur presence can dance forever more.
 U know i like u darlin, but luv will havta wait.
 I jus wanna see who u are, before my emotions escape.
 A man ain't built for the luv of war.
 Not with a woman, who's madly in luv with the feelin of bein torn.
 When i met u woman, my whole world looked up.
 But I'm not what ur thinkin, I am not corrupt.
 I'm as free as the wind blowin that chill up ya spine.
 N I've gotsta let u know, I'm down if u can appreciate my unconditional sighs.
 I know ur not perfect, no, neither am i.
 But if u can catch my drift, I'll do the time.
 To show u where I'm comin from.
 Either u can play catch up, or teach me somethin i haven't done.
 The choice is urs woman, don't let me down.
 Cuz if u do, I'll be leavin, n i won't make a sound.
 I'm on some grown shit woman, so watcha wanna do?
 If my actions were more than words, searchin for proof.
 U see when i found u woman, i felt that desire inside.
 But it can not live with u, if u can't catch my drift floatin on with my life.
