In a way, this song is a tribute to Erykah Badu’s Next Lifetime. The original song is about someone that Badu has feelings for outside of her relationship. She doesn’t want to be unfaithful so she tells the person she has feelings for that she’ll see him in the next lifetime.
[Intro: Teyana Taylor]
Oh-oh, oh
Oh-oh, oh, yeah
[Verse 1: Teyana Taylor]
Got a question for you
If I let you, would you make your move?
Oh, what you doin' to me?
Feel like you're feelin' me, I think I feel you too
Now I'm just wavin' like (Wavin' like)
Low key, want you by my side
And I know you're down to ride
But you don't belong to I
Know you're just a friend of mine
But I'm wanting more inside
And I know it feels so good
But it also ain't right, oh-oh-oh
[Pre-Chorus: Teyana Taylor]
I want it (Want it)
But this ain't the right time
But, damnit, you're so fine
So take me tonight
Now hold me (Hold me)
A lot on the line
Please don't play with my mind
Ooh, I gotta decline
[Chorus: Teyana Taylor]
But if I see you next lifetime
I'm fuckin' with you, uh
I promise you'll be mine
[Verse 2: Teyana Taylor]
Oh, I know I can't lie
Hurt me on the side
Can't see the future without you and I
Knowin' I want it, I love it, I fronted the vibe
Sent me like fuck it though
Runnin' and runnin', ain't runnin' from love
I'm so willin' to give it a try
With it, I'm with it, but I gotta let you know (Know)
This shit got me confused now, 'fused now, 'fused
Don't know what I'm gon' do now, do now, do
I'm tryna keep my cool now, cool now, cool
But, boy, I'm warnin' you now, you now, you
Oh, ooh-ooh
[Pre-Chorus: Teyana Taylor]
I want it (Want it)
But this ain't the right time
But, damnit, you're so fine
So take me tonight
Now hold me (Hold me)
A lot on the line
Please don't play with my mind
Ooh, I gotta decline
[Chorus: Teyana Taylor]
I'll see you next lifetime, uh
I will, baby
I promise you'll be mine (Yeah)
[Bridge: Erykah Badu]
Feelin' butterflies
Hahaha, yeah
No, yeah, unc', I know how you feel, you know
'Cause I—
I've been in that situation
This time I'ma make you mine
For the key to this shit
[Verse 3: Erykah Badu]
You gon' have me cheatin'
Creepin' on the weekend
Meet me in the middle
I know you a vegan
Know you wanna eat it
But I can't let you do that
Ice cold, ice cold
Doc say I'm anemic
See it all in your eye, I know you want a vibe, babe, but it's too late
Sweet just like a Starburst, makes your star bust with a toothache
In the mornin' like, "Ooh, yeah"
In the afternoon, ooh, yeah
I'ma see you soon
Chargin' dudes like, "Ooh, yeah"
Honey, I'm in a situation
I got options, niggas waitin' (Waitin', yeah), hey
See, honey, I'm in a situation
I got options, hoes be hatin' (Hatin', hahaha)
Now what am I supposed to do with you?
But how can I want you for myself?
Now what am I supposed to do?
[Pre-Chorus: Teyana Taylor]
I want it (Want it)
But this ain't the right time
But, damnit, you're so fine
So take me tonight
Now hold me (Hold me)
A lot on the line
Please don't play with my mind
Ooh, I gotta decline
[Chorus: Teyana Taylor]
I'll see you next lifetime, uh
I will, baby
I promise you'll be mine, yeah

I’m still gagging. That was one of them records that the moment I heard the beat, I already knew exactly what I was doing. I have such a good ear for stuff like that. I was like, ‘Yo, this sounds like “Next Lifetime.”’ I immediately started singing and I was like, ‘How do I make it my own? How do I...
