6LACK, yeah
Curiosity been at a all-time high in the tree tops
I remix your life like cut cocaine, it's all re-wrap
Ain't been wanting much lately, no, 'cause you my detox
Repeat, run it back, one more time, 'til we hit the sweet spot
Bet if we made love like we always knew each other (yeah)
Does it make you happy?
If so, that's what I'm on
I be at it 'til your troubles are gone
This a East Atlanta love letter, who gon' love better?
Nobody, because I say so, and my words hit like a Draco (oh)
(Oh, oh)
It's a East Atlanta love letter, who gon' love better?
Nobody, because I say so, and my words hit like a Draco
(Curiosity)
Curiosity, it's been a hard time high in the tree tops (uh, tree tops)
I remix your love like cut cocaine, it's all rewrap (just like rewrap)
Ain't been wanting much lately, no, 'cause you my detox ('cause you my detox, ayy)
If we, run it back, one more time, 'til we hit the sweet spot
But if we made love like we always knew each other (but if we made love like we always knew)
You'd be searching far and wide but you wouldn't want another (wouldn't want ano-)
Does he make you happy? (Does he make you happy?)
If so, that's what I'm on (if so, that's what I'm on, hey)

The lyrics of 6LACK's song "East Atlanta Love Letter" convey a perspective on love that is rooted in deep familiarity and intimacy. The artist describes his curiosity about his partner, which has been at an all-time high in the "tree tops," likely referring to the euphoric feeling of being in love. He then likens himself to a drug, "remixing" his partner's life like "cut cocaine" and becoming her "detox" from the stresses of everyday life. The repetition of the phrase "run it back" emphasizes the desire to recreate and prolong the intense feelings of passion they share.
The artist suggests that the strength of their love lies in their ability to satisfy each other in a way that nobody else can. If they were to have sex, it would be like they've known each other for a long time, and they would not want anyone else. The questions, "does he make you happy?" and "if so, that's what I'm on," suggest a possessiveness and an intense desire to be the sole source of his partner's happiness. By referring to the song as a "love letter," 6LACK emphasizes the personal nature of their relationship, even as he claims that their love is the best, as nobody could love her better than him.
