Lyrics
[Verse 1]
I don't know where to start, but I just want to know when to begin
I don't know where we are, but I just want to go with you again
I don't know where to start, but I just want to show you what it is
I'm 'bout to lower my guard, so kill me now unless you want (Hey, lil' fine)
[Verse 2]
I'm exercising my vulnerability, but you spend all my energy
But you see me like I don't see me, I don't want to live in that bedroom
Aye, that 20/20 low, that PRK vision
Every time I lay sixteen, they stay squintin'
But you still doubtin' me like I'm the same ****, same ****, same ****, lame ****, lame ****
My job got you feeling I'm too dangerous, we done made it through the flames in L.A., and shit
Wait a bit, stay a bit, grateful I pray for this
I'm sick of time, but you really on that patient shit
I know you tryna pace this shit, but I haven't seen your face in years, it's been a day, bae
[Verse 3]
I don't know what to call it, but I'm never calling you a friend
I'm unthawing this heart I never thought I'd ever use again
And I don't know where we are, and I don't give a donut where you been
'Cause I'm 'bout to lower this guard, so kill me now unless you want, mm
[Verse 4]
So it's on now, and I'm on what you on, what you on though?
My Lord, Lord, Lord, Lord, yeah
So it's on now, and I'm on what you on, what you on, though?
Lord, Lord, Lord, Lord, Lord, Lord, Lord
[Verse 5]
It's the grace you give me
It's the way I want you here when I'm way too busy
It's the way you never get when I'm anxious, really
How you this patient with me?
Speaking like without having conversations with me
Look at the stares you doing
Them soft eyes, got my body would swear you Medusa
I love my privacy, but I'm way too proud of this woman
Gather 'round for this woman, put your hands together and make it clap, clap, clap
[Verse 6]
Aye, pick it up, I gotta give it up
That's walk down this time, but I don't gotta be a crutch
Don't wanna be attached, that happens getting close
There's power in your ass, there's more power in your touch, though
Everything a lot, but not enough, though
Keep it on the low, a need to know for the must-knows
Yeah, I'm geekin', but I'm stuck though
I feel like Whiplash meets Love Jones, what's up, though?
[Verse 7]
I don't know where we going, but I just want to go until the end
I'm unthawing this heart I never thought I'd ever use again
And I can play my new part and never-ever-ever play pretend
'Cause I'm 'bout to lower my guard, I'm 'bout to lower my guard, I'm 'bout to lower my, lower my
[Outro]
Pick it up, I gotta pick it up
Woman of the Year, every day that's in a month
Pick it up, I gotta pick it up
Baby, you're my life, this is more than a crush, though
