I love dominantly
You make me weak, make me thirsty for release
Want, come compliment me
Then become my enemy
Cop a flight to Paris, low key
It's you, baby girl, I'm tryna to breed, please
Baby, try to understand me
I'm not a monster, I'm just a man with needs
I take flights when I learn it's time to go
Tryna take time back crossing timing zones
Come press your lips 'pon me
LSD got me feeling empathy
Wan fi' alter the mind chemically
'Cause we suffer endlessly
Could be Kamikaze, only time will tell
Even though I'm godly, might end up in Hell

Yuh loving baby girl, you know mi need it, need it
Let me fight for it, mi achieve it, 'chieve it
