Low Key

That’s what it is, what it is

When you live, tryna keep it low key

You know me

Always finding myself in interesting times

Growing up, sharing my stories

Through these intricate rhymes so check it

I met this dime she looked kinda familiar

But people change with time

And I couldn’t remember her so I

Struck up a conversation nothing unusual

But after a couple hours

I knew feelings were mutual

And I’m ready to tell everyone that I know

But she like yo, we should keep it on the low

Ought oh, I could see through it

And I know how it goes

There's no reason

We should be tryna distance anyone close

Especially when we just started

Having feelings like those

I’ll admit it I was digging her so I just let it go

For a chance at romance

I went along with the plans

But then there was a side of me

That could see how it would end

But then when you get in it

It can get kinda hard to defend against her

Feminine venom has got me forgetting wisdom again

I don’t want your number

I don’t wanna waste my time

You can have all of your crazy

Cause you’re outta your mind

It's on the low key

Thinking your smooth, foolin everyone else

It’s on the low key

What you don’t know is that you’re playing yourself

It’s on the low key

Nothing but lies that’s coming out of your mouth

It’s on the low key

Sooner or later you’re gonna get found out

Hit me up, said she was begging to chill

Acting cute, nothing suspicious

So I’m keeping it real

Thought it might be nice to surprise her

And show up at the crib

So I buy her a little present

You know something to give

But get this

I arrive a couple knocks at the door

And her angry father’s expression

Got me shook to the core

As I slowly begin to ask

If she can hang for a few

I’m confused

I thought she already left with you!

Huh? So I take off an I’m walking all over town

I’m trying to keep my cool

While I’m looking around

I’ve got an uneasy feeling here

That something ain’t right

But I’m hoping I’m tripping

And that we can have a good time

Just as soon as I can find

This beautiful girl of mine

She’ll prolly explain

That she just lost track of the time

I turn the corner

And never expected what I would find

My girl with another guy

Tryna keep it low key

I don’t want your number

I don’t wanna waste my time

You can have all of your crazy

Cause you’re outta your mind

It's on the low key

Thinking your smooth, foolin everyone else

It’s on the low key

What you don’t know is that you’re playing yourself

It’s on the low key

Nothing but lies that’s coming out of your mouth

It’s on the low key

Sooner or later you’re gonna get found out

So I kept my composure

Even though it was over

Sobering in this moment

With this unmistakable closure

Going over the moments in my head

I lost all my focus

Now I’m forced to be soldering on

Part of my heart broken

No one knows how I felt

In that moment I had to walk away

Hate that it’s over you know

I learned the harder way

Smarter to be yourself

Cause in the end people can see

When you try to try to keep it

Try to keep it on the low… key

It's on the low key

Thinking your smooth, foolin everyone else

It’s on the low key

What you don’t know is that you’re playing yourself

It’s on the low key

Nothing but lies that’s coming out of your mouth

It’s on the low key

Sooner or later you’re gonna get found out
