[Verse 1]
I don’t sit with a limit, I push, killers involved
Darker be skin, beauty just from the know
Studio living, like always, dreaming abroad (yeah)
Momma, just told me be different, I wanted to be livid
No we were just wide-eyed, and me so stupid to fall
New kid I was, and the scene was different, I glowed
Poison like ivy, attention, I took it all
And you was doing the most
Could feel the tension, feelings caught
You was off your head
Real niggas, just hold it down
No, no sweat or tears, just glide
But I was your first, and you mine
I think, it was so lovely, to know that you cared
Going to the parties, I felt like neon lights, I saw
Hit it off with older niggas, damn I felt so special
But nothing lasts forever, so I went away
Deleted all your numbers, no sweat, no tears, I glide
[Chorus]
They go by, they go by
Take time, but can’t take
Nothing out from me, I glide
You know I, you know I
Watch the Sunkist glisten
I don’t fall in, I glide
Don’t look, don’t sit, don’t touch
Don’t look, don’t look, don’t sit, don’t touch
Don’t look, don’t look, don’t sit, don’t touch
Don’t look, don’t look, don’t sit, don’t touch
[Verse 2]
Trust nobody, is the motto
Had nobody pushin', a lone wolf now they follow
Had to get out of the sinking ship, you a sour puss
Told me, they leave me behind at stop u is shuttle-less
Shutterbug, run a bitch
State of mind, elevated, I conquered it
Self-made, gliding, no sweat
High, high, no tears, I don’t hold back
Contest, if you can’t, better fall back
'Cause I was a wallflower
Not down for the hoedowns
And you saw that I was different
Been hiding out from the whole town
Blossomed and they didn’t picked it
Been finding my own, now
While they’re sitting on their butts not saying much
The limits, I don’t see
I’m running blindfolded
Gliding through, while they slipping off
Mad, I let them stay it
In a minute, I'll tip them off
Black and with no sugar
Is my tea when I’m ticking off
[Chorus]
They go by, they go by
Take time, but can’t take
Nothing out from me, I glide
You know I, you know I
Watch the Sunkist glisten
I don’t fall in, I glide
Don’t look, don’t sit, don’t touch
Don’t look, don’t look, don’t sit, don’t touch
Don’t look, don’t look, don’t sit, don’t touch
Don’t look, don’t look, don’t sit, don’t touch
They go by, they go by
Take time but can’t take
Nothing out from me, I glide
[Bridge]
Don’t look, don’t look, don’t sit, don’t touch
Don’t look, don’t look, don’t sit, don’t touch
Don’t look, don’t look, don’t sit, don’t touch
Don’t look, don’t look, don’t sit, don’t touch
Don’t look, don’t look, don’t sit, don’t touch
Don’t look, don’t look, don’t sit, don’t touch
[Verse 3]
Cause, I never let a broken heart
Happened, I’m together, I am floating
Outside in the open, while their minds close up
See me on the roof, not on your side, switched-up
Not like crazy-licked chickens 'cause I growed-up
Done with old love, you never showed
Just cold like Minnesota
Mind was crazy, and you know
What fake you throwed at me
Treating like a side piece
Why you be naive
[Chorus]
They go by, they go by
Take time, but can’t take
Nothing out from me, I glide
You know I, you know I
Watch the Sunkist glisten
I don’t fall in, I glide
Don’t look, don’t sit, don’t touch
Don’t look, don’t look, don’t sit, don’t touch
Don’t look, don’t look, don’t sit, don’t touch
Don’t look, don’t look, don’t sit, don’t touch
They go by, they go by
Take time but can’t take
Nothing out from me, I glide
