How ya doing
I said hey
How ya doing
Hey
Why you acting so cold
Trippin' on the phone
I don't know what you know
Why you acting so cold
Trippin' on the phone
I don't know what you know
Hey
Yeah I run at my pace
Didn't really try
Yes girl wasn't my place
Yeah I run at my pace
Didn't really try
Yes girl wasn't my place
I said Hey
What ya doing what's your name
Lemme get your number really wonder where you stay
I said Hey
I finally got my own place
I don't do a lot but you know I make plays
I'm addicted to the perfume
That she got all over her body
And it's hard to go without you
Cuz sometimes I need somebody
Sometimes I need my space
Sometimes I need some help
Hard to ask for that
So I gotta deal with the problems that I'm dealt
Don't want sympathy
Don't want clout
Got good friends with me
And I got myself
Rappin' over symphonies
Tryna feel what's felt
Don't care if they in to me
Only time gon' tell
I said Hey
What ya doing what's your name
Lemme get your number really wonder where you stay
I said Hey
I finally got my own place
I don't do a lot but you know I make plays
Hey
Why you acting so cold
Trippin' on the phone
I don't know what you know
Hey
Why you acting so cold
Trippin' on the phone
I don't know what you know
Hey
Yeah I run at my pace
Didn't really try
Yes girl wasn't my place
Yeah I run at my pace
Didn't really try
Yes girl wasn't my place
How ya doin'
I said Hey
How ya doin'
