[Intro]
Yeah, yeah, yeah
Sheesh, uh-uh
[Verse 1]
I swear everything I say got candor (True)
You talkin' big but I know you got no answers
I just put 'em on my back like Jansport (Jansport)
And I go and get the rent from the landlord, damn
I'm in my phase, it's a wave
Think you got a read on me, we ain't on the same page
You ain't goin' nowhere listenin' to lies
Body twenty-one, heart a hundred and five
Sorry not sorry though, I'm in my Atari mode
Hit me be like, C, like where you be, I be like adios
Why you leave the party though? Workin' on the audio
They can't even play me when they play me on the radio
God light shinin' bright on me
Blind, but for my third eye, I don't see, yeah
I'm goin' up like where Zion be
So all I know is you should probably swipe right on me
[Pre-Chorus]
All that green and white
Got me talkin' with my walkin' I can read your mind
I'm gonna take you to the place you wanna be tonight
Oh, what we get done when we go one step at a time
One step at a time
[Chorus]
Yeah, I be takin' off no landin'
Now I'm at the top and I'm stranded
I take it back like Stan Smiths
Imma take you back like Stan Smiths
See it in the way that I'm standin'
Lookin' at me they don't understand this
I take it back like Stan Smiths
Imma take you back like Stan Smiths
[Verse 2]
Yeah, when the sports was EA
The prince fresh, PA
And we just wanna ball at the YMCA
Stuck on the point but I think it's beside
I just been wildin' like Land Before Time
Oh, oh, oh, I'm late
Got all my attention, it's all on my plate
I think you fixated on someone I was
But someone I was is someone I ain't
[Pre-Chorus]
All that green and white
Got me talkin' with my walkin' I can read your mind
I'm gonna take you to the place you wanna be tonight
Oh, what we get done when we go one step at a time
One step at a time
[Chorus]
Yeah, I be takin' off no landin'
Now I'm at the top and I'm stranded
I take it back like Stan Smiths
Imma take you back like Stan Smiths
See it in the way that I'm standin'
Lookin' at me they don't understand this
I take it back like Stan Smiths
Imma take you back like Stan Smiths
[Bridge]
I just been hittin' my stride (What)
Runnin the 1, 2, 3, stripes, (Huh)
'70s stayin' alive (Yuh)
I put the boa right on my shoulders
We just ain't cut from the same (What)
Y'all just keep runnin' away (Huh)
I ain't afraid of no snake (Yuh)
I put the boa right on my shoulders
[Pre-Chorus]
All that green and white
Got me talkin' with my walkin' I can read your mind
I'm gonna take you to the place you wanna be tonight
Oh, what we get done when we go one step at a time
One step at a time
[Chorus]
Yeah, I be takin' off no landin'
Now I'm at the top and I'm stranded
I take it back like Stan Smiths
Imma take you back like Stan Smiths
See it in the way that I'm standin'
Lookin' at me they don't understand this
I take it back like Stan Smiths
Imma take you back like Stan Smiths
