Low Key
That’s what it is, what it isWhen you live, tryna keep it low key
You know me, always finding myself in interesting timesGrowing up, sharing my stories through these intricate rhymes so check itI met this dime she looked kinda familiarBut people change with time and I couldn’t remember her so IStruck up a conversation nothing unusualBut after a couple hours I knew feelings were mutual and I’mReady to tell everyone that i know but she like yo, we should keep it on the lowOught oh, I could see through it and I know how it goesThere's no reason we should be tryna distance anyone closeEspecially when we just started having feelings like thoseI’ll admit it I was digging her so i just let it goFor a chance at romance I went along with the plansBut then there was a side of me that could see how it would endBut then when you get in it, it can get kinda hard to defend against herFeminine venom has got me forgetting wisdom again
I don’t want your numberI don’t wanna waste my timeYou can have all of your crazyCause you’re outta your mind
It's on the low keyThinking your smooth, foolin everyone elseIt’s on the low keyWhat you don’t know is that you’re playing yourselfIt’s on the low keyNothing but lies that’s coming out of your mouthIt’s on the low keySooner or later you’re gonna get found out
Hit me up, said she was begging to chillActing cute, nothing suspicious so I’m keeping it realThought it might be nice to surprise her and show up at the cribSo I buy her a little present you know something to giveBut get this, I arrive a couple knocks at the doorAnd her angry father’s expression got me shook to the coreAs 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 townI’m trying to keep my cool while I’m looking aroundI’ve got an uneasy feeling here that something ain’t rightbut I’m hoping I’m tripping and that we can have a good timeJust as soon as I can find this beautiful girl of mineShe’ll prolly explain that she just lost track of the timeI turn the corner and never expected what I would findMy girl with another guy... tryna keep it low key
I don’t want your numberI don’t wanna waste my timeYou can have all of your crazyCause you’re outta your mind
It's on the low keyThinking your smooth, foolin everyone elseIt’s on the low keyWhat you don’t know is that you’re playing yourselfIt’s on the low keyNothing but lies that’s coming out of your mouthIt’s on the low keySooner or later you’re gonna get found out
So I kept my composure even though it was overSobering in this moment with this unmistakable closureGoing over the moments in my head I lost all my focusNow I’m forced to be soldering on, part of my heart brokenNo one knows how I felt in that moment I had to walk awayHate that it’s over you know, I learned the harder waySmarter to be yourself cause in the end people can seeWhen you try to try to keep it, try to keep it on the low… key
It's on the low keyThinking your smooth, foolin everyone elseIt’s on the low keyWhat you don’t know is that you’re playing yourselfIt’s on the low keyNothing but lies that’s coming out of your mouthIt’s on the low keySooner or later you’re gonna get found out
