Communicate lyrics

[Skit]

You know what I'm saying like...it's not bad like, you know what I'm saying?

Like she'll be tryna like...level the playing field all the time.

It's just like yo, reality is like, you not as stressed as me,

You don't have as much shit going on as me, you not as busy as me like...

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 plan for shit all the time

[Intro: Mick Jenkins]

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

[Verse 1: Mick Jenkins]

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

[Hook: Ravyn Lenae]

Nothin' is nothin' why you act lone

Somethin' is somethin' why you stay at home all night?

Blunt in my hands and pick up your phone

Pop in we'll jump and follow me home tonight

When you know that breathing, he's so, he's, he's

Ah-ah-ah-ah, ah

Ah-ah-ah-ah-ah

When you know that leaving makes me need it, need

[Verse 2: Mick Jenkins + Ravyn Lenae]

So let my resonate, we can just talk

Look here, 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, down with me

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

[Hook: Ravyn Lenae]

Nothin' is nothin' why you act lone

Somethin' is somethin' why you stay at home all night?

Blunt in my hands and pick up your phone

Pop in we'll jump and follow me home tonight

When you know that breathing, he's so, he's, he's

Nah-nah-nah-nah

When you know that leaving makes me need it, need

[Outro]

I get you (right), I understand but it's like I need it (yeah, especially yeah).

If every time you tryna like, make me feel guilty like I'm like (damn).

You know what I'm saying? It's just like pshh (nah, that'll fuck you up for real)
