about

Ak breaks down the feeling of knowing someone so beautiful that her presence renders you speechless.

lyrics

[Chorus: Eleon]
Stop and stare
Stop and stare

[Akro Intro]
By now y'all know how I do things
Slightly off-center but always on point
It's Ak, yo

Quick description: 5 foot 3 vixen
Beauty and intellect at once – she is the perfect contradiction
Friends from the beginnin', clicked ‘cuz we both winnin’
Getting paper worldwide, got the globe spinnin’
It’s tough when we’re both together
Her body too perfect not to receive the utmost pleasure
It’s frustratin’ – and even though I ain’t just waitin’
Don’t wanna be too blatant and flagrant, so I’m patient
Proper alignment of the constellations
Is required for the consummation
But every conversation be makin’ me more anxious
Pure anguish – now we’re going through more changes
One day it’s like I got the green light
Next day: things don’t seem right
She’s slightly out of my reach, like the sweetest fruit on the peach tree
And by the time she reach me, all I can do is

Stop and Stare, yeah
Is it that curly brown hair, or that round derriere
Or that little savoir faire that you got
Either way, you’re hot to the point that I’m speechless (x2)

[Chorus: Eleon]
Stop and stare
Stop and stare

I know you remember that road trip
Where every other sentence was a Freudian slip
And you flashed that little grin to let me know that you acknowledged it
If I was working at the school, you would've got a scholarship
And it seems to me you took your character and polished it
You been through a lotta shit, but don’t dwell in the politics of it
Your true depth I gotta discover
Ready to give a whole lot of this brother, and not just as lovers
And we gon' make it hotter this summer, glad you provided your number
I’m wakin’ out of my slumber soon as you come around
Wait – I’m wildin' – the moment that you showin’ up smilin’, I just fall silent
Nothing to say except ‘how was your day?’
Tell me ‘bout your last show and what club did you play – hey
It’s not like I don’t care
But when I want to say what’s really on my mind all I can do is

Stop and Stare, yeah
Is it that curly brown hair, or that round derriere
Or that little savoir faire that you got
Either way, you’re hot to the point that I’m speechless

[Chorus: Eleon]
Stop and stare
Stop and stare
