Catch 22
Hey it's Jose
A lot has been on my mind lately, and I was hoping we could talk.. Just ring me back when you get this

V1

I recall the first time/
That you crossed my sight/
We was at a ball/
Starring at you all night/
Wishing you could be mine/
So I told the boys/

That girl so fine/
I should go & say hi/
Tryina make a choice/
I can hear my soul cryin/
Won’t hurt to try/
Well, not at all/

Dang, that didn’t happen/
I promise I tried, we just weren’t connecting/
Uhm, lies/
We didn’t talk, time wasn’t right/
That’s my perspective/
LOL
I saw you glow/
But I had to wait, cuz I had to grow/
Me in your life at that time & period/
Wouldn’t be a blessing, it’d be a curse/
Word!

Every single time that I reflect/
On the time when I prolly wouldn’t held back/
Would’ve come & said hi to you/
But honestly, prolly cuz I really lacked respect/

But recently, I met God/
& I know these words prolly sound odd/
But hold on, lemme explain/
Heard the duty call & I ain’t talking C.O.D/
Nah/

I just got dreams now/
I know what love means now/
I know it ain’t always what it seems now/
I don’t base love on what I see now/

But I fell for you based on what I saw/
& that makes me mad cuz you’re worth more/
Lemme take it back like an encore/
Need to find myself before I find love/

Chorus/

If you ain’t for me & I ain’t for you/
Making this work, that’s a catch 22/
A catch 22 (x2)
Making this work, that’s a catch 22/

It ain’t your fault, cuz I’m down for you/
But making this work, that’s a catch 22/
A catch 22(x2)
Making this work, that’s a catch 22/

I’ve been working hard over time/
Lotta Lost Heroes that I’m tryina find/
I could lose myself but never mind/
If I follow God I should be fine/

My heart is golden being refined/
Holy Spirit living inside/
We’re growing closer till we’re so afined/
So girls you just came at the wrong time/

Lemme make it clear girl, you ain’t the issue/
Until I’ve been treated I can’t really treat you/
If God ain’t in this, this can’t be official/
Need to dig deeper, this is superficial/
Prolly thinkin this is super spiritual/
Like “you should do what you feel to”/
Mmmm girl don’t tempt me/
Lemme make it plain simple/

I don’t wanna be a star if it means being as dumb as Patrick/
& I don’t wanna be a Slave & spend my whole life here making Krabby paddies/
Cuz I know I’ve been called, I’m investing time here Tryina get ready/
I can’t really take your call if it means hanging up on the one who sent me/

Marriage gives one shot/
& ima take that/
At the right time/
Nah, won’t delay that/

Only ball for the ring/
That’s a straight fact/
Like Lebrons hairline/
Girl fall back/

& I don’t mean to be rude/
It’s gotta be greater than good/
I gotta work on my purpose/
Before I can partner with you/

Chorus

If you ain’t for me & I ain’t for you/
Making this work, that’s a catch 22/
A catch 22 (x2)
Making this work, that’s a catch 22/

It ain’t your fault, cuz I’m down for you/
But making this work, that’s a catch 22/
A catch 22 (x2)/
Making this work, that’s a catch 22/

That’s a catch 22/
