[Intro]
Am I crazy?
[Verse 1: REI AMI]
I've been upset, filled with regret
Over the same little messes
I wouldn't call it depression
Now you're seeing red over something I said
I didn't use my discretion
Back when you had me confessin'
[Bridge: REI AMI]
You were all I have to keep me safe
Said I'd be just fine (Just fine)
Everything, everything would be alright (Alright)
Told me I was worth the time you gave
(You gave me)
Then you changed your mind, yеah
[Chorus: REI AMI]
Every conversation with myself's likе
"Why couldn't you be somebody else?"
Someone like, someone like
Someone that you wanna be, I
And every situation that I'm in is like
Why can't I just stop and start again?
I would do it right, do it right
I would do it right this time, I (Hahaha)
[Verse 2: Aminé & REI AMI]
I'm in my head like every damn day
I stick to myself, it's just for my sake
I try to make things better (Yes)
But I feel like I can't make things better
I'm rollin' up this jay 'cause I don't do pipes
It's a lonely day, you got me stuck tonight
This ain't just a phase, I feel it in my bones and all
Got me feelin' like I need alcohol
Heart is feelin' empty, I can't fill it up (Fill it up)
When you overthinkin', then it gets you stuck (Gets you stuck)
Stress level got me t-t-tensing up (Ah, ah, ah, ah, ah, ah, ah)
Look, I stay schemin', daydreamin'
Sometimes you gotta act like it's your season
I keep feelings in I can't control
And I got conversations with myself I'm tryna hold
Here it goes
[Chorus: REI AMI]
Every conversation with myself's like
"Why couldn't you be somebody else?"
Someone like, someone like
Someone that you wanna be, I, I
And every situation that I'm in is like
Why can't I just stop and start again?
I would do it right, do it right
I would do it right this time, I, I (Yeah)
Every conversation with myself's like
"Why couldn't you be somebody else?"
Someone like, someone like
Someone that you wanna be, I, I
And every situation that I'm in is like
Why can't I just stop and start again?
I would do it right, do it right
I would do it right this time, I, I

No, “do it right” marks the first collaboration between the two.
“do it right” is about wanting to start over. It’s about new beginnings and a fresh start. Honestly, I feel like we often find ourselves reflecting on our past… on what we could have done better or what we shouldn’t have done. It’s OK to feel that way, because reflecting on past situations can help...
