No. 99 (Joey Bada$$)

39• You Perfect But You Sleep

"These mosquitos coming after us." I whined.

"Then let's go inside." Joey said

I opened the window and we stepped inside.

"Please just accept my apology. I was under pressure and you have to understand. I'm sorry for lying, I'm sorry for what I said about you deserving it, I'm sorry for saying what I said, I'm sorry for causing all this pain. I'm just so sorry. I don't know what came to me when I said what I said." He said as he held my hands "I miss being around you. Your energy attracts me."

The fuck is this nigga on. Talkin' bout some god damn "energy" I couldn't help but look him deep in the eyes to see if it was sincere. "How do I know you're not lying to me?"

He leaned in and kissed me, I kissed back.

"Why the fuck did you kiss back?" He asked as he pulled away

"Is there a problem!?"

He licked his lips and smiled "Nah. So we cool?"

I thought about it, one more chance "I guess so."

We hugged "I love you." He said

I wasn't comfortable saying it back. "I love me too."

He shrugged "What we gonna do?"

"I kinda just wanna chill out and just do whatever. I don't have any plans."

"Same." He said

I don't know why but I found myself singing as I scrolled through Instagram on my phone, it fell on my face.

"SHIT!!!"

He started laughing "I know yo shit hurt!!! Last time that happened to me my nose was sore for like three days."

I groaned "The pain."

"I was gonna say you dramatic but the pain is there...and it's real."

I smiled and played with his hair and started singing again.

"I only see one thing in this world that I need, no war coming from me. Just want the loves chemistry, good vibes and inner key is all I feel surrounding. If it's not on your level then why don't you just let it be?" I wasn't paying much attention to how my voice sounded "Said all we really need...is better energy. Said all we really need is better energy." I sang the hook again and Joey started rapping

"I got that energy, energy exactly what I need, if you feelin' me, feelin' me then we got some chemistry I can only see one thing
That's the energy in me
Even though I want you near me
Check me, I can make you leave
I can lead a horse to water
But I fail to make one drink
I'mma call you Sleeping Beauty
Cause you perfect, but you sleep
Granny told me love is fate
But for sure it's nothing cheap
So for now, just keep on zoning." He looked into my eyes "Girl I dig yo energy."

He leaned in and kissed me again. This nigga right here.

It got late and we fell asleep. I didn't care if my Aunty saw him with me. I'll take care of it and find an excuse.
"That's a dope song." He said "I fucks with you."

A/N: Y'all really need to check that song out! It's dope as fuck ^^ it's up in the media section. 💜🤘🏾😎 The video is trippy asf though so just know that.
