Lyrics

[Verse 1]
We driving on the west side
9:45, you ask, "Should we light up?"
I say, "Alright, that will be delightful"
I think I like you, kinda enticing
So, you wanna know what it's looking like and
That's justified 'cause it's been some time
I don't know, no, I don't know
[Verse 2]
See, I'm hella hip this time
Ain't goin' down with no ship this time
Cut the bullshit this time
Crazy how some lips
Could just kiss me blind?
No, no, not this time
See, I'm hella hip this time
Ain't going down with no ship this time
So, cut the bullshit this time
Crazy how some lips
Could just kiss me blind?
No, no, not this time
[Chorus]
Don't play me like a fiddle
Keep another love with me
Up in the middle
No, stay tru like a true one do
Don't play me like a fiddle
I'm a clever one
I'm up on all your riddles
No, stay tru like a true one do
[Verse 3]
Yeah, yeah, ay
Yeah
I'm sick and tired of the compromising
I'd rather sleep with no one beside me
Than with a ghost with a heart that froze, yeah, yeah
So, don't get it twisted or I'll have to dip
It's imperative that you don't forget
Just who it is that you playing with?
[Verse 4]
See, I'm hella hip this time
Ain't goin' down with no ship this time
Cut the bullshit this time
Crazy how some lips
Could just kiss me blind?
No, no, not this time
See, I'm hella hip this time
Ain't going down with no ship this time
So, cut the bullshit this time
Crazy how some lips
Could just kiss me blind?
No, no, not this time
[Chorus]
Don't play me like a fiddle
Keep another love with me up
In the middle
No, stay tru like a true one do
Don't play me like a fiddle
I'm a clever one
I'm up on all your riddles
No, stay tru like a true one do
[Chorus]
Don't play me like a fiddle
Keep another love with me up
In the middle
No, stay tru like a true one do (Stay tru, just stay tru, just stay tru)
Don't play me like a fiddle
I'm a clever one
I'm up on all your riddles
No, just stay tru like a true one do (Stay tru, stay tru)
[Outro]
(Stay tru)
(Stay tru)
(Stay tru)
Hip this time
Ain't goin' down with no ship this time
Cut the bullshit
Please just cut the bullshit
No
