Poison Lyrics

[Intro]
Ha, ah-ah-ah, ah, ha

[Verse 1]
You give me wahala
Damn near Nirvana
I, I, I drowned in your water
Sweet like cassava, ah-ah
You got me better
Ah-ah, you done left me sad, oh
I, I'm stuck in a cycle
You got me caught up in a cycle, oh

[Pre-Chorus]
I know you talk to me regular (Ah, ah)
When you call on the cellular (Ah, ah)
And though it's all gettin' heavier (Ah, ah)
I want it all, but it's killin' me now
I let it go 'cause you cut me out (Ah, ah)
I'll give you life if you let me, oh (Ah, ah)
Though it's all gettin' heavier (Ah)
I want it all, but you're killin' me

[Chorus]
Like you're poison
Give me the feelin' like I'm gone (Gone)
Emotions (Emotions)
Got me thinkin' you're the one
Mm-hmm, poison (Poison)
Give me the feelin' like I'm gone (Gone)
Emotions (Emotions)
You got me deep in my emotions, oh-oh-oh (Oh-oh, oh-oh)
[Verse 2]
I won't let you get away
But if you ever get away, don't go too far
Baby, then you might break my heart, ah-ah-ah
You leave me weak like I never been strong (Strong)
You leave me now, I'ma catch you out on your own
Get home

[Pre-Chorus]
You no fit talk to me regular (Ah, ah)
When you call on the cellular (Ah, ah)
And though it's all gettin' heavier (Ah, ah)
I want it all but it's killin' me now
I let it go 'cause you cut me out (Ah, ah)
I'll give you life if you let me, oh (Ah, ah)
Though it's all gettin' heavier (Ah)
I want it all, but you're killin' me

[Chorus]
Like you're poison (Poison)
Give me the feelin' like I'm gone

Mm-hmm, poison
Give me the feelin' like I'm gone
Emotions
You got me deep in my emotions, oh-oh-oh

Got me the feelin' like the one, oh, like the one
Got me the feelin' like the—, got me the feelin' like the—

What did Tamera say about "Poison"?
Genius Answer

’Poison’ was written about the toxic dynamic of two people who are in love but don’t know how to show up in the relationship in a way that is healthy. They are infatuated but still treat one another badly and despite this they can’t seem to part ways, in turn becoming each other’s chosen poison.
