Lyrics Like Smoke - Amy Winehouse, Nas

Like Smoke

I never wanted you to be my man
I just needed company
Dont want to get dependent on
Your time or who you spend it on
But I lose it when you look at me
Like smoke, I hung around in the unbalance
Woah, ohhhh!
Its not a movie, this is not a script or proofread
Ill spit some untruths to dumb fools and groupies
Fun to punctuate, pronunciate, the funds I make, the miles I take,
put in your face
Oh my mistake, youre not a floosy?
Then excuse me
Before I talk, my style introduced me
Get your name and phone number like 1−2-3
Yall know the story, yall know the commentary
I kick the narrative, this is legendary
The good Samaritan, hood thespian
Like a polygamist, with a twist
Will I marry again?
Maybe, I guess
I hold a ladys interest, I just met
The love scholar, she the teachers pet
Every other eve we meet and make each other sweat
I feel triumphant, no strings
Just a fling to have fun with
I be out in London, Camden
Huntin for the answers, why did God take away the homie?
I cant stand it
Im a firm believer that we all meet up in eternity
Just hope the big man show me some courtesy
Why?
Cause Im deemed a heart breaker
Like smoke, girls lean round a player
Yeaha
I never wanted you to be my man
I just needed company
Dont want to get dependent on
Your time or who you spend it on
I lose it when you look at me
Like smoke, I hang around in the unbalance
Woah, ohhhh!
Yo, this recession is a test
Its affecting my complexion
Misdirection my affection
My concerns are bill collections
The facts is the taxes, they after me
Chapter three, my property
My handlers, they dealt with me improperly
I say some things I should probably keep privately
Evaluate the world bank trusts like Im IEG
Those fly suites and my boojwazi
Tall freak, she wouldnt protest with me at Wall Street
She says, no youre so deep
I said, no lets go through it
Historically so ruthless feds came for Joe Louis
She said, my man you need to laugh sometimes
Classifies me as a whore, I tell her have some wine
You colder than penguin poo, get hurt, dismay
Shes thinkin thats just so silly to say
But if you really think about it hussy
See a penguin, he drags his shit on the ground all day
And theres a dragon, he’s a busted, you return with
Im through with you after I crush, so is that humorous enough?
The smoke I puff
Tell the car to go to Aura, Funky Buddah, Whisky Mist on Mayfair
I hope I meet Simonie Love so she can show me love
NYC to UK I might stay there
Everybody in the club tonight say, Yeah
You know how me and Amy are, straight players
I never wanted you to be my man
I just needed company
Dont want to get dependent on
Your time or who you spend it on
I lose it when you look at me
Like smoke, I hang around in the unbalance
Woah, ohhhh!
Ohh, ohh, ooooohh, ohh
