All That Glitters (feat. Alicia Kaye Hall and Poetic Supernova) Video (MV)

All that glitters ain't gold
My heart was never told
To wait
I'll put my love on hold
But I know you won't do
The same

I call wonderin if you gon answer
When emotional, you turn into a dancer
Curly hair, pretty eyes, yea I'm sure those thighs are thick
But my heart can't take this shit just like a cancer
You're beautiful, stay true, what your mother said
You shouldn't talk to strangers, what your mother said
So I try to get to know ya by asking all these questions,
Can't help but be distracted by what dem eyes have said
I look for a sign, but my mind is read
You look for a sign, and deny instead
You see I have this bad habit of thinking that I had it
When we both know that this is designed to fail
You dress in designer, but I find you here
You glimmer in the dark, yet I find you here
In every waking thought, and this is just a start
I'm stuck on you, but you don't seem to care

All that glitters ain't gold
My heart was never told
To wait
I'll put my love on hold
But I know you won't do
The same

Now when I look into your eyes, I know there's nothing there
And when I return your smile, it doesn't seem fair
The timing was never right, I told myself all my life
But with you, I wanna try, just to be clear
I want happiness and love, like I have now
They say a real man knows when to stand down
But in this fight for love, do I relinquish all this trust
And be happy with her and who I am now
30 looking at 40, I understand how
Everything you ever wanted didn't pan out
Can't tell if I'm being tested, want you without a question
I'm blessed with love, but I still got my hands out
Drownin in emotion, and I think of you
Before I take another drink, do you think of me too
All that glitters ain't gold, but when you've loved before
I need to know what I'm feelin from you

All that glitters ain't gold
My heart was never told
To wait
I'll put my love on hold
But I know you won't do
The same

I've never cheated in my life, man I swear to God
I guess I never took the time, just to play the odds
My mind was close a couple times, yea I could've tried
But I wonder who I would be if I lived a lie
Fantasies can be dangerous, yea that stuck wit me
Shout out to the queens who really f*cked wit me
You knew my character from the jump and when I was slippin up
Told me really how it was, kept it a buck fifty
No accidents, I could've let that truck hit me
Chipped my tooth, now the crown looking real pretty
Asleep at the wheel, a sign of what you want is how you feel
I'm ready to do the work and there is plenty
I want a real love every day and she does too
That requires dedication to remain true
I may not be a perfect man, but I aim to
Find peace in my heart and claim you
