[Verse 1: Ivan B]
I know you think I'm an introvert
I just don't care to make friends
I just don't care to pretend
Tradin' my energy for money
Careful with time that I spend
Sitting idle, content is my biggest fear and regret
Tell me she the right one, look how far left that you went
Not a whole word that you meant
Or did the stars start to tint?
You my dog, my right-hand man, but please get a grip
Couple of waiters that quit 'cause the scales wouldn't tip
God's got a plan, and we got ahead just a bit, look
I'm saying have faith
Diamonds come and don't chase
Either way, everybody's name sitting on a stone someday
While you textin' me my issues, yours is sitting front page
You a, you a
Sweetheart, you just left a bad taste, uh
Talkin' like you know me, got your kick to save face, yeah
I ain't one to judge, it just been the same case, yeah
If I cut you off, it's all love, I need space, yeah
You know?
[Hook: COLE]
Can I be, can I be
Can I be, can I be
Can I just be real with you?
Real with you
[Verse 2: COLE]
Do it my way, hit the highway
Leavin' no trace, takin' my space
Baby, don't chase, don't wait
We tried to make it work, and it didn't, and it won't
You gotta let me go
I need to be real with ya
I'm losin' my feels for ya
We were always at a place, and you're never gonna change
So I'm keepin' my peace, and I'm savin' my grace, yeah
[Hook: COLE]
Can I be, can I be
Can I be, can I be
Can I just be real with you?
Real with you
[Outro: ?]
Can I be, can I be
Can I be, can I be
Can I just be real with you?
Real with you
