That's what it is, what it is

When you live, tryna keep it low key

You know me, always finding myself in interesting times

Growin up, sharin my stories through these intricate rhymes so check it

I met this dime she looked kinda familiar

But people change with time and I couldn't remember her

So, I struck up a conversation nothing unusual

But after a couple hours I knew feelings were mutual
And I'm ready to tell everyone that I know
But she like, yo, we should keep it on the low

Ought, oh, I could see through it and I know how it goes

There's no reason we should be tryna distance anyone close

Especially when we just started having feelings like those

I'll admit it, I was digging her, so, I just let it go

For a chance at romance, I went along with the plans

But then there was a side of me that could see how it would end

But then when you get in it, it can get kinda hard to defend against her

Feminine venom has got me forgetting wisdom again

I don't want your name, I don't wanna waste my time

You can have all of your crazy cause you're outta your mind

Reff :

It's on the low key, thinkin your smooth, foolin everyone else

It's on the low key, what you don't know is that you're playin yourself

It's on the low key, nothin but lies that's comin out of your mouth

It's on the low key, sooner or later you're gonna get found out

Hit me up, said she was begging to chill

Acting cute, nothin suspicious, so, I'm keepin it real

Thought it might be nice to surprise her and show up at the crib

So, I buy her a little present you know somethin to give

But get this, I arrive a couple knocks at the door

And her angry father's expression got me shook to the core

As 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 walkin all over town

I'm tryin to keep my cool while I'm lookin around

I've got an uneasy feelin here that somethin ain't right

But I'm hopin I'm trippin and that we can have a good time

Just as soon as I can find this beautiful girl of mine

She'll prolly explain that she just lost track of the time

I turn the corner and never expected what I would find

My girl with another guy, tryna keep it low key

I don't want your name, I don't wanna waste my time

You can have all of your crazy cause you're outta your mind

Back to Reff

So, I kept my composure even though it was over

Sobering in this moment with this unmistakable closure

Goin over the moments in my head I lost all my focus

Now I'm forced to be solderin on, part of my heart broken

No one knows how I felt in that moment I had to walk away

Hate that it's over you know, I learned the harder way

Smarter to be yourself cause in the end people can see

When you try to try to keep it, try to keep it on the low key
