[Intro]
Hey (Yeah, yeah, yeah)
Yeah, yeah, yeah-eh ('Cmon)
[Verse 1]
I'm still friends with your mama, you know I love her
Don't you go making it awkward, I'm coming over
She invite me to the cookout, you know I’m gon' go
If you don’t come with me, baby, better be solo
‘Cause I want all the smoke, don’t provoke, make me flex
In my mind still together, we're not ex as of yet
And I still love the sex, it’s the best, I confess (Yeah)
Oh, woah, woah
[Pre-Chorus]
Long time
I know it's been a long time (Too long)
And I just can’t seem to get you off of my mind
I'm just tryna hold on, put us on a rewind
Can't see you with nobody else
You know you’re mine, mine, mine, mine (yeah, ayy)
[Chorus]
Come in close (come in close)
Relocate (relocate)
Run that back (run that, run that)
Retrograde
You should be here
You’re out of place (where you at?)
Run that back (run that, run that), retrograde (Uh, hey)
Retrograde (retrograde), retrograde (ayy)
Run that back, run that back, retrograde (retrograde)
Retrograde (work, work), retrograde (retrograde)
You should be here
[Verse 2]
You still be getting jealous
Don't be frontin'
Telling people I been trippin' over nothing
And you say I’m hella feisty, you likey
Ain’t no other bitch like me, wifey (ayy)
Down my spine
Boy I know you see them stars align
You should bring it back around one time
Oh, I can feel your rising sign (Come, come, come)
[Pre-Chorus]
Long time
I know it's been a long time
And I just can’t seem to get you off of my mind (ayy)
Just tryna hold on, put us on a rewind (ayy)
Can't see you with nobody else
You know you’re mine, mine, mine, mine
[Chorus]
Come in close (come in close)
Relocate (relocate)
Run that back (run that back)
Retrograde (where you at?)
You should be here
You’re out of place (where you at?)
Run that back (run that back), retrograde (let's go)
Retrograde (retrograde), retrograde (retrograde)
Run that back, run that back, retrograde (retrograde)
Retrograde (retrograde), retrograde (ayy, ayy)
You should be here
[Bridge]
Run that back, run that back, run that back for me
Run that back, run that back, run that back for me
Run that back, run that back, run that back for me
Run that back, run that back, run that back for me
(You feel me, I'm just tryna word around that thing, you feel me?
I, I know a star when I see one, baby, and you shinin', you feel me?
If I could rearrange the alphabet, you know what I'm sayin'
It would just be S-T-A-R)
[Pre-Chorus]
Long time
I know it's been a long time
And I just can’t seem to get you off of my mind
I'm just tryna hold on, put us on a rewind
Can't see you with nobody else
You know you’re mine, mine, mine, mine
[Refrain]
Long time
I know it's been a long time
We've been playing with these feelings
They on standby
And I won't lie
You know that I won't lie
Can't see you with nobody else
You know you’re mine, mine, mine, mine
[Chorus]
Come in close (come in)
Relocate (where you at?)
Run that back (run that back)
Retrograde (running)
You should be here
You’re out of place (yeah)
Run that back (run that, run that), retrograde (come on)
Retrograde (retrograde), retrograde (retrograde)
Run that back, run that back, retrograde, (you got it)
Retrograde (run that back), retrograde (you got it)
You should be here

I walked into the room with my music producer, and there was a couple writers in the room, and I just remember I wanted to talk smack. I was like ‘huh, I want to get a little petty and talk about some real like events that had happened in my life before.’ I tried to not be too specific..but it’s bas...
