Raisins by Tsega Beloved Lyrics
[Verse 1: Tsega]
Now, I ain't ever been much of a songstress
Til' I had something to sing about
Now I'm cursed with a verse that I tuck in my purse
And they done made me pull it out
R.I.P. to all my expectations
For every Jack I watched hit the floor
Sittin' and sippin' and stuntin' to fit in
To a frame they never were made for
But you
You were the one
You were the world to me
I was the sun
I ain't see it
Not until it was done
Man you got in the way
That eclipse wasn't love
[Bridge: Tsega]
I ain't see it
Not until it was done
Til' you got in the way
That eclipse wasn't love
I ain't see it
Not until it was done
Nigga soaked up my rays
Like raisins in the sun
[Chorus: Tsega]
I call it
A dream deferred
I couldn't be what he preferred
I couldn't see past all his words
Now that the dream is done
He's waking up to her?
A dream deferred
I couldn't be what he preferred
I couldn't see past all his words
Now that the dream is done
He's waking up to her?
[Verse 2: Tsega]
Thinkin' back to when it all started
Back when she and I were both good friends
I'm confused as to who spent more time raising you
I guess it all just blurs in the end
R.I.P. to our last piece of patience
And all the walls we built to keep us warm
Flirtin' and kissin' but all the time missing
A foundation to weather the storm
Now who?
Who could've done?
Done me so dirty, decided to run?
Can't believe when I needed someone
All you did was dry up
Like raisins in the sun
[Bridge: Tsega]
Can't believe when I needed someone
All you did was dry up
Like raisins in the sun
Can't believe, now that it's said and done
I can shine so much brighter
My dream's just begun
[Chorus: Tsega]
I call it
A dream deferred
I couldn't be what he preferred
I couldn't see past all his words
Now that the dream is done
He's waking up to her?
A dream deferred
I couldn't be what you preferred
I couldn't see past all your words
Now that the dream is done
Keep waking up to her
Now, I ain't ever been much of a songstress
Til' I had something to sing about
Now I'm cursed with a verse that I tuck in my purse
And they done made me pull it out
R.I.P. to all my expectations
For every Jack I watched hit the floor
Sittin' and sippin' and stuntin' to fit in
To a frame they never were made for
But you
You were the one
You were the world to me
I was the sun
I ain't see it
Not until it was done
Man you got in the way
That eclipse wasn't love
[Bridge: Tsega]
I ain't see it
Not until it was done
Til' you got in the way
That eclipse wasn't love
I ain't see it
Not until it was done
Nigga soaked up my rays
Like raisins in the sun
[Chorus: Tsega]
I call it
A dream deferred
I couldn't be what he preferred
I couldn't see past all his words
Now that the dream is done
He's waking up to her?
A dream deferred
I couldn't be what he preferred
I couldn't see past all his words
Now that the dream is done
He's waking up to her?
[Verse 2: Tsega]

Now that the dream is done
Keep waking up to her
