Distraction Lyrics
[Intro]
Do you, do you, do you, do you wanna be—
[Verse 1]
Do me a favor, pick me up, take me out later
Don't worry about no paper
'Cause I got much stacked up for nights like this
My life can get crazy, I deal with shit on the daily
But baby, I'm thinkin' maybe
We could agree to work it out like this
[Pre-Chorus]
I need you (You, oh) to give me your time (Give me your time)
I need you (You, oh) to not wanna be mine
[Chorus]
Are you down to be a distraction, baby?
But don't distract me, let me ask you, baby
Do you, do you, do you, do you wanna be a distraction, baby?
Do you, do you, do you, do you wanna be— (Yeah-yeah-yeah)
Are you down to be a distraction, baby?
But don't distract me, let me ask you, baby
Do you, do you, do you, do you wanna be a distraction, baby?
Do you, do you, do you, do you wanna be—
[Verse 2]
I need you to respect it (Yeah-yeah-yeah-yeah)
Sometimes this shit get me stressin' (Yeah-yeah-yeah-yeah)
So I need you with me to keep me right and keep me up all night (Oh-oh, oh-oh)
We can get faded
This life can make you so jaded
So we can stay shaded just to us and try to get it right, oh-oh
[Pre-Chorus]
I need you (You, oh) to give me your time (Give me your time)
I need you (You, oh) to not wanna be mine
[Chorus]
Are you down to be a distraction, baby?
But don't distract me, let me ask you, baby
Do you, do you, do you, do you wanna be a distraction, baby?
Do you, do you, do you, do you wanna be— (Yeah-yeah-yeah)
Are you down to be a distraction, baby?
But don't distract me, let me ask you, baby
Do you, do you, do you, do you wanna be a distraction, baby?
Do you, do you, do you, do you wanna be—
[Bridge]
I can't say I give my all
But tonight, I'd risk it all
Woah, woah, woah
Are you down to be—
[Chorus]
Are you down to be a distraction, baby?
But don't distract me, let me ask you, baby (Don't you, don't you, baby)
Do you, do you, do you, do you wanna be a distraction, baby?
Do you, do you, do you, do you wanna be— (Yeah-yeah-yeah)
Are you down to be a distraction, baby? (Let me ask you one question, baby)
But don't distract me, let me ask you, baby (Do you, do you, baby)
Do you, do you, do you, do you wanna be a distraction, baby? (Let me ask you, baby)
Do you, do you, do you, do you wanna be— (I wanna know, I wanna know)

Who is the song about?
This song is about a girl. I was in Philly making all these songs for the album with Pop & Oak, these dope producers. I was talking to this girl and I was like, it’s cool to have a little thing but right now I’m so in my vibe. So you got to be a distraction but you really can’t take away from w...
What is a distraction?
In the context that I’m saying, it’s something fun and not serious, but not to where you don’t care about it. You’re like, “this is tight, you’re tigth, you’re super cool.” It’s like the homie but someone who respects what you got going on but still wants to make you feel good and stuff.
What was it like working with Pop & Oak?
They played me the beat first and I was like, “Wooo this is so tight.” We usually just hook up the little mic in the main room and just freestyle, or I’ll just write for a second and then give like a rough take. Once I sang the intro they put that on the front of the song and I was like “Woah! This...
