Communicate Lyrics

I'm saying like this not that like, you know what I'm saying?
Like she be tryna like level the playing field all the time
Like yo reality is you're not as stressed as me
You don't have as much going on as me, and you not as busy as me

You don't understand how I feel just because you have been stressed
Just because you've been tired from work
And because there was that rift I could never really talk about it
Like if I talked about it, it was
'Cause the reality is you taking the L every time in so many
Different things in this relationship
Like we can't really play and bullshit all the time

What I will, when I want, why I came
What I will, when I want, why I came
What I will, when I want, why I came
How you figure, who is you, Nardwuar or something?
You don't know shit about me

Yeah black man and that's everything it denotes
She want a nigga that can sing
But she only ever wanna hear the C-notes
Yeah said she know that shouldn't be a thing
Just a dream, I ain't never been a cheap ho
Yeah feeling on her body when we dance
I'm assuming her whole wardrobe probably bespoke
Yeah, 'cause it fits so tight
A silhouette in the disco lights
Call you bae
And I don't mean the San Francisco type
Lit cross, crisp pop in the light
And you smile and I swear that it gets so bright, right
Right, John Smoltz couldn't throw shade at you girl
And your black skirt been so tight, right
Gotta have a little cocaine in you girl, you addicting
Nurse Joy can you fill my prescriptions?
Should I take drugs without your permission?
If you a sin I can't be a Christian
Listen to me tripping, I'm tripping

Nothin' is nothin' why you act lone
Somethin' is somethin' why you stay at home all night?
(?) Hands and pick up your phone
Pop in we'll jump and follow me home tonight
When you know that breathe, he's so, he's, he's
Nah-nah-nah-nah
When you know that leaving makes me angry, angry, angry

So let my resonate, we can just talk
Look you ain't got to hesitate under the stars
We can vibe, we can meditate
Bringing water, marijuana, we can medicate
So don't you hesitate
Why don't you ride with me
Got a boat for this water, take a ride with me
I've been waiting, I've been patient, I could slide on you
Slide on you girl, I'm with you, I'ma ride for you
Ride with you, I'ma ride, just vibe with me
Got a boat for this water, take a ride with me
I've been waiting, I've been patient, I could slide on you
Slide on you girl, I'm with you, I'ma ride for you
Ride with you, I'ma ride

Are you down with me my love?
Are you down with me for sure?
Are you down with me for sure my love?
I want you to let me know

Nothin' is nothin' why you act lone
Somethin' is somethin' why you stay at home all night?
(?) Hands and pick up your phone
Pop in we'll jump and follow me home tonight
When you know that breath, he's so, he's, he's
Nah-nah-nah-nah
When you know that leaving makes me angry, angry, angry

I get you, I understand but it's like I need it
If every time you tryna make me feel guilty I'm like damn
You know what I'm saying?
It's just like pshh (that'll fuck you up)
