[Intro: Thabsie]
(All I know that works in the world is a relationship)
Mhm-hm
Mhm-mhm-hm
[Chorus: Thabsie, Kwesta]
Baby, I been thinkin' ‘bout it lately
And I may seem crazy
To be honest, shit, I may be
Mhm-mhm, maybe
Singathandana like we're 18
I don't need you to save me
But when it comes to it, say me
Mhm-mhm, say me
Oh-oh, say me
Uh-uh, say me
Say me (Ekse), oh-oh
[Verse 1: Kwesta]
I know what you're saying, yeah
I know what you're saying
No, it's not insane
Please don't be afraid
To protect your heart, I mean, you wanna be safe
But look inside my luggage, baby, that's a lot of pain
And I packed it in a rush, running for and from my life
Left the family crushed, I was searching for my kind
‘Cause I just wanna write shit and makе a lot of songs
But when it all comes crashing down and evеrything is gone, uh
We may never dance like we used to dance
And you may resent me for changing all your plans
I won't know who I am
And you gon' find that out
So, let's just ride it out
Maybe let's just ride it out, ekse
[Chorus: Thabsie]
Baby, I been thinkin' ‘bout it lately
And I may seem crazy
To be honest, shit, I may be
Mhm-mhm, maybe
Singathandana like we're 18
I don't need you to save me
But when it comes to it, say me
Mhm-mhm, say me
Oh-oh, say me
Uh-uh, say me
Say me, oh-oh
[Verse 2: Kwesta]
As everything unravels, who's gon' be mature?
Who's gonn' win the battle? ‘Cause no one wins the war
We got a good thing, I mean
Why want more?
All this talk about rings, what the hell we fighting for?
However, l got you, and you're the same
I’pressure yalabantu, don't let it make you change
I just shed a tear, it wasn't but us
And you just hit share, I'll wish it wasn't ‘bout us
See, I'm not scared to say you
I’ll say you kayi two
Abayi thread-e bayithunge
And let them look good
They don't care who we are
We gon' find that out
So, let's just ride it out
Let's just ride it out
Fuck it
[Chorus: Thabsie]
Baby, I been thinkin' ‘bout it lately
And I may seem crazy
To be honest, shit, I may be
Mhm-mhm, maybe
Singathandana like we're 18
I don't need you to save me
But when it comes to it, say me
Mhm-mhm, say me (Say me, yeah-yeah)
Oh-oh, say me (Say me)
Uh-uh (Say me), say me
Say me, oh-oh
[Refrain: Thabsie]
Say me
Say me (Say)
Say me (Say, say me)
Say me (Say, say, say me)
Say me
[Outro: James Baldwin, Nikki Giovanni]
If I love you, I can’t lie to you
Of course you can lie to me and you will
If you love me and you’re going off with Maddie some place, you’re lying to me
‘Cause what the hell do I care about the truth? I care if you’re there
What Billie Holiday say? “Hush now, don’t explain “
Alright, I accept that
Of course, of course you lied, and I don’t even wanna care
What does the truth matter?
And why are you gon’ be truthful with me when you lie to everybody else?
You lied when you smiled at that cracker down the job, right?
Lie to me, smile
Treat me the same way you would treat him
I can’t treat you the way I treat him
You must, you must
Because I’ve caught the, I’ve caught the frowns and the anger
He’s happy with you
Of course he doesn’t know you’re unhappy, you grin at him all day long
You come home and I catch hell because I love you
I get least of you
I get, I get the very minimum
