Play It Off – Bryson Tiller

When I pull you to the side

Girl, I think you might like what I’m sayin’ (What I’m sayin’)

Patient all night, too grown to be shy (You know what I want)

Need to be mine, stop playin’ (I need you to be mine)

I said this Henny got me geekin’

Lookin’ at my watch and it said, “Demon”, oh my God

Jumpin’ off the deep end (Deep end)

Either I’m in love or, yeah, this drink is way too strong

Girl, you got me fiendin’

When I holla at you, lookin’ for a reason just to talk

‘Fore you think about leavin’

Gotta get you home with me tonight

Come and see how this Lambo drive

One-twenty up the East side

With me, we do what we want to (Yeah, talk to me)

I think you ready (Let’s go)

It seems like you ready (Let’s go)

Girl, I’ve been in love with you all night

Girl, God really flexed on you (Huh-huh)

They really slept on you (Huh-huh)

But girl, I’m so pressed on you

And I can’t even play it off

God really flexed on you (Huh-huh)

Niggas really slept on you (Huh-huh)

Girl, I’m really pressed on you

And I can’t even play it off

Honestly, I think that we could use a little

Privacy, nobody in our business

Tryna see, who I’m with and where I’m with em’

Honestly, no, I don’t wanna hear it

I gotta make a few plans or somethin’

So do you got a man or somethin’?

And if you do, baby, he don’t gotta know

But either way, I can’t really let you go

I think you ready

It seems like you ready

Girl, I’ve been in love with you all night, yeah, yeah

Girl, God really flexed on you (Huh-huh, on you)

They really slept on you (Huh-huh, on you)

But girl, I’m so pressed on you

And I can’t even play it off

God really flexed on you (Huh-huh)

Niggas really slept on you (Huh-huh)

Girl, I’m really pressed on you

And I can’t even play it off

If you want we can stay or our friends can leave

If you want we can hang, just you and me

If you want me, shorty, gotta pull up on me

‘Cause I want you, and I can’t play no, I can’t play it off

Girl, God really flexed on you (Huh-huh, hey, huh)

They really slept on you (Huh-huh, yeah, yeah)

But girl, I’m so pressed on you

And I can’t even play it off (I can’t play it off)

God really flexed on you (Huh-huh)

Niggas really slept on you (Huh-huh, yeah, yeah)

Girl, I’m really pressed on you

And I can’t even play it off (Off)
