Between Me, You & Liberation Common (Ft. CeeLo Green)

[Verse 1: Common]
She rested her head upon my chest
Sensed liberation in between breaths
Wonder if sex is what she found it in
Peace, found it laying down with men
Wasn't there to judge her, many ways I loved her
It was more than bodies we shared with each other
We layed under the cover of friends
A place where many lovers began
I began, to feel her body shake in my hand
Body language, it's so hard tryna understand
Usually after sex, it's a good feel
Took by silence, emotion stood still
I could feel, her tears spill from her grill
Hurt from before that began to build
She told me, "Hold me", a story she assembled it
Tellin' it, trying not to remember it
It was a story of innocence taken
Thought she could redeem, through love makin'
When she was eight, she was raped by her father
And tried to escape through multiple sex partners
Felt pitiful, she had only learned
To love through the physical, inside it burned
My heart turned, I thought of what this man did
She forgave him, she grew to understand it
Her soul was tired and never really rested
Only through men, through aggression
Said it was a blessing and it happened for a reason
By speaking it, she found freedom
Between me and you
