Know You Lyrics by Tonton Raymond

Life on the Line, Vol. 1

2019

[Verse 1: Tonton Raymond]
I recall like a story
That wedding reception
That I attended a year ago, na so my life been take switch up direction
Met a girl filling her plate up while I stuffed mine at the buffet section
I checked her right out
I'd later find out
Wasn't only me struck by attraction
Shawty if you're a Benz
I swear you're the full option
I get your body language no need for caption it's almost like you're a figment of my imagination
Can I get to know you? I been feeling your moves
Like old stereos na you get the groove
I'm the one talking, it is not the booze
Can I get to know you?
[Chorus: Mon Lee]
Can I get to know you girl girl
Can I get to know you
Can I get to know you girl girl
Can I get to know you
Can I get to know you girl girl
Can I get to know you
Can I get to
Can I get to?
[Verse 2: Tonton Raymond]
See I've been thinking about you all day
God bless the breeze wey blow you come my way
And I pray you hear to stay
We gisted long at the wedding after party and I dream of us having our own
Having a kid mix our skin tone
But something bothers me
How we've been hidden from our families
The only ones who know, our siblings
And your sis doesn't see the possibility of you ending up with a Christian
Why love gotta be hindered by religion?
We match our specifications
Society has different expectations
Like marry your own
Stick to your tribe
Stick to your religion
Stick stick to your zone
They say the patient dog gets the bone
So wetin we go wait for?
When our parents can't watch us vow to be each other's own?
No
So here we are at this wedding reception
A year after that mutual attraction
Got a ring in my possession
Eager to leave here and pop the question
[Chorus: Mon Lee]
Can I get to know you girl girl
Can I get to know you
Can I get to know you girl girl
Can I get to know you
Can I get to know you girl girl
Can I get to know you
Can I get to
Can I get to know you?
[Verse 3: Tonton Raymond]
Will you marry me?
Boy you know the answer to that question
But our relationship has been weighed down by the anchor of expectations
A whole year sneaking to occasions
Getting dreamy eyed at every wedding reception
Then going home to let tears wash my vision
Because of this idiosyncrasy
One that forbids us from getting married
The best we can do is court and break up
Doomed to never ever make up
Boy you know it's the truth
We could've coped with our tribal differences
But we worship under different roofs
Look
I love the hell out of you
But this is a conditioning I cannot undo
Do you know it hurts me when I think of never being with you?
I know marriage is more than shallow love
But I never thought that the reason for calling something so perfect off would be that we call on different gods
[Bridge: Mon Lee, Eve Urrah]
Why? Why? Why? Why? Why? Why?
Why? Why? Why? Why? Why?
Why? Why? Why? Why? Why? Why?
Why?
[Chorus: Eve Urrah]
Can I get to know you
Can I get to know you boy?
Can I get to know you
Can I get to know you boy?
Can I get to know you
Can I get to know you boy?
Can I get to know you
Can I get to know you boy?
