Story Behind The Song
The song "Question" originally started as a poem written by the lead singer Star but as i looked over her work i grew an interest in giving her words a voice. The first verse discusses me talking to my girlfriend at the moment about our the highs of our relationship. The second and third verse made a turn from the upside of love to the fails of the past and our yearn for something better.
Song Description
The question comes when we ask ourselves will i be with this person for the rest of my life is is this just another infatuation. Not knowing what love feels like brings the bittersweet experience of ecstasy and agony as you experience it firsthand.

Lyrics
Hook (Star):
If i touched your skin, could i feel it?
If i looked into your eyes, could i see it?
If i kissed your lips, could i taste it?
Would i find what love is, what love is like, what love is like?
Verse 1 (Yung Efil):
I'm put at peace to hear you speak, keep you happy long as i breathe.
I'm passionate though i'm sad but this magic wont ever leave.
Its harder to find these words describing why butterflies are inside ..
.. and a tear fall from my eye to hear you cry but that's love (I love you too baby)..
.. and cuz i care enough to show concern.
Accepting who you are i'm at a point of no return.
We took our time, not rushing for us to be together.
Developed into something seeming so effortless but ..
.. whats missing? Why you frowning? We'll get around this long distance.
I promise to act on these strong feelings.
I'm glad to have met and know you, amazing? I've yet to show you.
Star provided the vocal, i'm spitting to something soulful.
Hoping i'm on your mind, we'll make it through any obstacle.
Neither one of us perfect but still, anything is possible.
Got love and i'm trying to keep it.
Shouldn't have to find a reason ..
.. to say i love you baby girl and believe me it's not a secret.
(Chorus)
Verse 2 (C.H.I.):
Trying to find the truth in a fairy tale lie.
Look into the sky for an angel.
When she falls down i'm a catch her. I wish i never met her.
Name stamped on my heart like a secret love letter ..
.. and i try to let her go but my mind saying no.
Everything moves slow when she left out the door. I froze.
Never thought id see the day she'd pull a Tina on me.
Turn her back, heart attack.
Trying to fall back but i keep leaning into the heartbreak.
Put it on the scale, let me see how much my heart weigh.
She wanna rewind while i'm trying to press play.
Beg for her presence i would die to make her heart stay.
We at a pace where we ain't going steady.
I'm ready for the light if this love thing heavy.
Trying to paint a picture of a breakup.
Artist from the heart, not louie bags and makeup.
(Chorus)
Verse 3 (Yung Efil):
Now could you come again? Lust been the plight of my suffering.
Jealousy whenever i hear you tell me he just a friend.
Suckered into feeling its different dudes you could pick and choose.
I get confused on why you with me cuz your beautiful.
Got faith in you to keep a promise but honesty i'm a skeptic.
Cant hold you accountable cuz my ex was unsuccessful.
Epic fail, falling for permiscious and flirty.
This time i date devils like Elizabeth Hurley for physical features.
Worries me knowing love has passed.
I only see the future, moving on. Hovercrafts.
Like to believe the next juice will be worth the squeeze.
See in my eyes sincerity. On my knees praying ..
.. someone will hold me down and at the same time elevate me.
Breaking down all these walls, emotional renovation.
So impatient cuz if not now i'm done looking.
Heart became a subwoofer and blood was running cooler.
