Shortcuts (feat. Sam Ock)

Give me a shortcut, show me a way

I just need a side street to your heart, a faster lane

So I can get closer to the start

Just a little closer to your heart

I want to get closer to the start

Just a little closer

I never felt this way before

My stomach sinks down to the floor

I try to play it cool, like I ain't a tool

They say men are dogs, that explains the drool

Turning heads with those legs and face of yours

I've never seen such a beautiful face before

Caramel complected, chiropractic

You got 'em breaking neck with all your assets

Me? I'm playing low key like baselines

In the back like Tito, Mr. incognito

You asked mi amigos, why your friend so emo?

It was at that moment, it got real

And next thing, I'm texting BRB

A minute later, we LOL 'bout an OMG

You even think the same things, too

I recognize these butterflies, Déjà vu

Give me a shortcut, show me a way

I just need a side street to your heart, a faster lane

So I can get closer to the start

Just a little closer to your heart

I want to get closer to the start

Just a little closer

It was awkward at that Nas concert

Guys crowded round you like hounds do

So you threw your arms around my collar

The freshest necklace, I felt like a baller

And I reciprocated, inundated with this feeling so right

Such a beautiful night, I'll never forget the conversations we had

The one time I didn't mind, staying out of my lab

'Cause we harmonized with the music we made

You talked about your past and how you're afraid

The hurts that he caused and how you escaped

I confessed my mess, you expressed how you relate

Should I give you space to explore options

Or play the love game and let you come stalking?

I'm just joshing, kinda sort of

Your allure's over my head, you're my fedora

Give me a shortcut, show me a way

I just need a side street to your heart, a faster lane

So I can get closer to the start

Just a little closer to your heart

I want to get closer to the start

Just a little closer

There's no other place that I'd rather be

With you by my side, yes, we'll drive to the sea

I'll sing you Sinatra, let's love and be free

No reservations and no minor key

I'll give you my heart if you give me yours

No need to hide it, for you, I adore

If you see me shine, it's your love I glow

So give me a shortcut which nobody knows

Give me a shortcut, show me the way

I just need a side street to your heart, a faster lane

So I can get closer to the start

Just a little closer to your heart

I want to get closer to the start

Just a little closer
