I think a lot of women can respect you after they have sex with you.
For the most part, men have all
The respect dips down in that moment, and it just [Em] is a drag.
So I was inspired to write a song to address the drag.
[Ab] [E] [Em] Every time I shared it with friends, in terms of just the idea,
like, I'm trying to write this song that's addressing this thing,
literally every woman I know was like,
ugh, need that song, like, please finish the damn song
so that I can party to it and pass it on,
[B] so that the memo can be out there.
Ethiopian ladies drink vermouth.
And my go-to basic drink is tequila Red Bull.
Patron Silver, preferably.
It's a little bit of shade.
It's like the kindest shade.
I saw you there.
But also, I fall in love every day.
What you're experiencing as, like, you know, she must want to be with me,
it's just how I care for everybody.
It's just how I'm considerate about all human beings.
The [N] chase is, I think, a really beautiful thing,
as long as it doesn't slide over into the area of abusive.
Sleep either way, let me know.
Said I gotta go, don't want to hear me say, let me know.
Ooh, ooh.
No one's trying to settle down.
All you gotta do is let me know.
It's pretty straightforward.
I tried to be, yeah, literal on that one, just so nobody got it confused.
But yeah, it's, you know, I'm inviting, and then I'm saying, you know, just let me know.
Be communicative.
[E] I guess you'd be hearing an eye roll.
You know, if you could hear an eye roll, you'd be listening to the sound of an eye roll.
That's essentially what I'm saying in that line.
[B]
I wrote this with my friend Asma, who's half of Nguzu Nguzu.
She's an incredible producer and DJ.
And we just, I was like, I need to evoke the girls.
I need to make it clear that I don't need you.
I only need them.
I saw you look at me, and [Em] I know you want it.
Let's not front.
You've expressed interest without expressing interest.
I saw you.
So, let's stop.
Let's cut to the chase.
I would say that the ones that I'm attracted to are the guys who are not doing the most.
If you're doing the least, I want you the most.
I'm trying to keep this as casual as he is, but I'm also not trying to feel disrespected.
What I'm trying to articulate also is that there's a place.
We can exist in this place, this abstract sort of casual place, in a healthy way.
