Phaded {The Moral Clause}

we're not pretty people                
maybe once when we were young                
and full of wonderment                
               
but then we stepped off the porch                
and the world happened in a microwave instant                
smearing us in every shade of Sex                
without a moral clause                
so as humans                
it's up to us to discern and decide               
our yea's and nay's..our do's and don'ts                
our admissions and omissions                
               
with that said, baby                
I'll never ask you about your body count                
cuz the only count I'm concerned                
with is how many times I'll get to enter                
that fine azz body of yours                
               
I'm not here to be a fuckin buzz kill                
and dry up the coochie                
naahhh..I'm trying to                
secure me a spot on the roster                
maybe I can be your back up power forward                
when your Carl Malone is indisposed                
and you need someone                
who can take it strong to the hole                
             
              
besides,what's the point...what's the end game?              
it's not like I'd expect you to tell me the whole truth                
nor do I think I could handle the whole truth                
so go 'head and take your ghosts of lovers past to the grave                
It's not my place to hold you accountable                
that's what your demons are for                
I got my own demons to worry about                
               
not trying to do double duty                
               
I'm only interested in how you're givin up that booty                
while we're in the land of the livin                
so let's create our own memories to take into the afterlife                
let's fuck like there's no tomorrow                
and refrain from making false promises                
in the heat of the moment                
cuz emotions can get hot and heavy                
camouflaging Love..using Sex as a carrier wave                
tethering us to a whole new reality      
where we try to convert      
a simple fling into the real thing                
               
leaving us out here                
game goofy with rose colored glasses                
trying to imagine a life outside of the bedroom                
with my 480 credit score                
and your stalkin azz baby daddy                
both of us delusional as fuck                
all cuz my dick performed an amazing Jedi mind trick                
and turned me into your favorite Avenger                
right before your eyes                
while your pussy squeezed all the common sense                
outta me with a quilted poem from                
Maya Angelou talkin 'bout                
               
''and still I rise, and still I rise''                
               
and now...      
all of a sudden we're supposed      
to be on some fabled lost lovers type shit              
betrothed from a past lifetime...our bodies bequeathed from                
from the ancient runes of Atlantis                
reincarnated in this time/space continuum  
as reanimated stardust                
here to reclaim our rightful inheritance                
restore the faith to all of humanity                
and whatever blah blah blah...                
               
               
ahhhh                
the lies we sell ourselves                
when we try to put a moral clause                
on a blank social contract                
never really vetting one another                
all because Sex reigned mercilessly through our bodies                
wetting our debaucheries                
with all of its thunder and lightning                
tsunamis and avalanches                
floods and hurricanes                
giving us honeymoon after honeymoon                
after fuckin honeymoon until                
one day                
               
               
the honeymoon ended
