On his official debut single, Zacari sings about a woman who constantly brings up the past and makes small situations larger than they truly are.
The track was released to coincide with Zacari’s official signing to Top Dawg Entertainment.
[Intro]
Want you, I'll tell you that I don't want—
I don't love you, I'll tell you that I don't—
[Verse 1]
Why you always go back on the same ol' shit?
Like nothin' that I ever said was what I really meant
Like none of my promises was honest
I never lie, I never lie
You've already been warned
You know what I be on
I've been the same since day one
I never lie, I never lie
[Chorus]
What you, what you trippin' on, trippin' on, trippin' on me for?
Yeah trippin' out, trippin' over nothin'
I'm always honest
Pause, I don't owe you nothin'
Trippin' on, trippin' on, trippin' on me for?
Yeah trippin' out, trippin' over nothin'
I'm always honest
Pause, I don't owe you nothin'
[Refrain]
Yeah, I'm through (I'm through)
Everything's movin' in slow motion (Slow-mo)
Yeah, I'm through
Everything's movin' in slow motion (Slow-mo)
[Chorus]
What you, what you trippin' on, trippin' on, trippin' on me for?
Yeah trippin' out, trippin' over nothin'
I'm always honest
Pause, I don't owe you nothin'
Trippin' on, trippin' on, trippin' on me for?
Yeah trippin' out, trippin' over nothin'
I'm always honest
Pause, I don't owe you nothin'
[Verse 2]
Go ahead and turn nothin' into somethin'
Go ahead, make yourself look stupid
I don't care what you think the truth is
I mean damn, how many times I gotta prove it?
If I don't want you, I'll tell you that I don't want you
If I don't love you, I'll tell you that I don't love you
If there was someone above you, then I'd let you know
But that ain't the case, so... (Ayy)
[Chorus]
What you, what you trippin' on, trippin' on, trippin' on me for?
Yeah trippin' out, trippin' over nothin'
I'm always honest
Pause, I don't owe you nothin'
Trippin' on, trippin' on, trippin' on me for?
Yeah trippin' out, trippin' over nothin'
I'm always honest
Pause, I don't owe you nothin'
[Refrain]
Yeah, I'm through (I'm through)
Everything's movin' in slow motion (Slow-mo)
Yeah, I'm through
Everything's movin' in slow motion (Slow-mo)
