Score
Isaiah Rashad Lyrics

Play right, play right, god damn it (oh)
Do things properly and don't mess up the situation.

Don't wanna hold up the night, god damn it (ayy)
Don't want to cause any delays or disturbances.

Don't wanna control ya right, god damn it
Don't want to restrict or dictate your actions.

Keeping score tonight (alright, alright)
Keeping track of what's happening tonight.

Mm, just wanna ride-ride with you
Wants to spend time with you and enjoy your company.

Shoot and I would die-die with you
Will go through anything for you, even if it means risking one's life.

Pain you gotta notice (you gotta notice)
You need to acknowledge the hurt and struggles one is going through.

War scars and more shit (I got some more)
The baggage and trauma one carries from past experiences.

You got some baggage, emotions (you need to)
You also have struggles and feelings that you should pay attention to.

Crash and control issues
Struggles with managing one's life and emotions.

Lagging and loading
Hesitations and uncertainties about moving forward.

Heart was too open
Being too vulnerable and exposed emotionally.

I put that over peace
Prioritizing the relationship and connection over personal peace and well-being.

You know I'd rather ride-ride with you
Prefers to spend time with you rather than anyone else.

But would you do it for the guy?
Asking if you would make the same effort for someone else.

I'm never outta reach
Always available and present for you.

You know I wanna ride-ride with you
Continuing to express a desire to spend time with you.

Or I'd keep that shit alive
Maintaining the relationship and connection is important.

Meanwhile, I'm racing daylight-daylight, I'm gone
Busy with life and trying to keep up with everything.

Goddamn, I hit the freeway, get ghost, I'm lost
Escaping from the stress and confusion of life.

I noticed it was unlocked-unlocked, uh-huh
Realizing that the potential for something better exists.

And I just decided
Making a clear decision.

You ain't worth my time
Not willing to invest in a relationship that is not fulfilling.

Can't risk, little that I given up
Does not want to lose what little has been given up for a relationship.

But you move in silence
Being secretive and uncommunicative creates issues in the relationship.

They know you dirty, you private
Others know there are secrets or negative aspects to the relationship.

You over your time limit
Exceeded the limit or expectation of how long the relationship should last.

Baby, you know you have to score
Acknowledging that one needs to put in effort to make the relationship work.

You know every day a nigga get right-right with you
Continuously working to improve the relationship and connection.

Baby, make it hard to get-get right-right with you
Challenges and difficulties in maintaining a positive relationship.

Overtime, can't get right
Struggles to improve or make the relationship work better.

Did too much out of spite
Made poor decisions based on anger or resentment.

Ride or die, I (ayy) really wanna slide (ayy)
Willing to stick with you through the good and the bad.

Feelin' way high on a highway light
Enjoying the time together and feeling uplifted.

Pull over and try to put some points on the board
Making an effort to improve the relationship and connection.

Both my hands tied, but I still keep score
Being limited in resources or options, but still monitoring the relationship.

Play for the same squad, never leave her
Working as a team and being committed to the relationship.

We both put up points, think I need her
Both parties contribute to the relationship and rely on each other.

Hop out all brown, she in cheetah
Dressed in a certain way to complement the significant other.

That dress make you pop like believer
The dress looks good on you and emphasizes your beauty.

Tuck like the moon in the sky just waiting on my shift
Patiently waiting for the opportunity to make progress in the relationship.

Know I'm gon' score, I'm just waiting on my peace, so
Confident in making improvements in the relationship, but waiting for personal peace and clarity.

I'ma leave my heart out, heart out, on the floor
Being vulnerable and exposed emotionally for the sake of the relationship.

I try to get you done up-done up, uh-huh
Making the effort to improve or dress up for the relationship.

They got me at the store
Being held back or occupied with other responsibilities.

They got me like, "Don't leave her"
Others are encouraging to stay committed to the relationship despite challenges.

Keeping score tonight (score tonight, ee)
Continuing to monitor and evaluate the progress of the relationship tonight.
