Hakeem is jaded
The young bull stay faded
Smokin' mad trees like Northern Cali fires devastated
Depressed, disenchanted & dissociative
but he wasn't always so damaged
He was an angel, the youngest of 5 brothers
Cradled to be pure, He had a light that inspired others
All he had was hope in his scope
'cuz his family sheltered him & never showed him the ropes
Early on as an adult, he got his happy heart broke
by a young lady who made him give his all & went ghost
She found an older man with money so they off & eloped
Hakeem fell to shambles & his heart turned to coal
Started living his life by chauvinist quotes
"Money over bitches & bros over hoes"


Will he ever love again?

Fatima's hopeless
The sister can hardly keep focus
30 years young, single momma with 2 kids
& 2 jobs & no time for hocus pocus,
romances, wine glasses or red roses
Divorced since 26, Her babby daddy couldn't cope with
the real world pressures, implosive
He chose drugs instead now he's doin' meth
Left Fatima to raise the children all by herself
Now she's full-time survival mode, 25-8
Blindfolded in the cold in a constant state of primal wake
The flux of her head above water & goin' under
but deep down in her heart, she wonders

Will she ever love again?

Now peep game, the story gets deeper & deeper
'cuz it ain't all over for Hakeem & Fatima
They were both born to be dreamers & overachievers
Destined to fall in love from the moment they meet up
Coded with God features & compatible presets
Complimentary pieces of sweetness
Their genius uniqueness was what each of them needed
to balance out powers & weaknesses
& become one
but love is only promised if they conquer their traumas
'cuz they've personified pain with the opposite genre
of gender
Love each other tender
& time will
heal all wounds so have honor

HAKEEM
(YES, FATIMA)
PLEASE TELL ME YOU ARE MORE THAN A DREAM

FATIMA
(YES, HAKEEM)
I COULD BE IF YOU'RE MORE THAN A DREAMER

I SEE
(KNOW WHAT I MEAN?)
LOVE IS SOMETHING WE SHOULD LIVE EVERYDAY

SO WE CAN LIVE
(SO WE CAN LOVE)
& IT GOES AS BELOW, SO ABOVE
