Apart
S.C.O. Lyrics

Yeah
An expression of agreement and affirmation

It’s like...
An introduction to the contemplative atmosphere

It’s like 10 o’clock
A reference to the late hour and the singer being up and reflective

I ain’t trippin
A statement to show that the artist is calm and not worried

Can't be apart from you
An expression of how the artist feels about their significant other

My happy beginning and ending just starts with you
The significant other is the source of joy and completeness for the singer

And I know that this thing can get hard
Acknowledgment that relationships can be difficult

But if in your heart you think that (we should be)
Asking the significant other for their input and agreement about being together

Together forever I think should we make it real
A desire to make the relationship permanent and committed

Just relax your mind
Encouragement to the significant other to not worry and take things easy

I know I been working a lot, this g’on take some time
Acknowledgment that the singer has been busy and that building a relationship takes time

And you a blessing I'm lucky to find
Recognition that finding a good partner is a fortunate occurrence

Things get hard when they ain't right
Reaffirmation that difficult relationships are caused by problems that need to be addressed

Right?
A rhetorical question to emphasize the point

Day so long when you ain't bright
The day is difficult when the relationship is not going well

But if I put it all in a shake right?
Wondering if things can be improved and turned around

Wouldn't you drink all if it taste right?
Asking if the significant other wants to try and fix the relationship

Been so long since a date night
It has been a while since the couple has gone on a date together

Since I had you on a FaceTime
It has been a while since the couple has had a video call

Since I hit you on the main line
It has been a while since the couple has talked on the phone

So I know I gotta make time
An acknowledgment that the artist needs to prioritize and make time for the relationship

Got me riding through the town right now
The artist is driving and thinking about the relationship

Nowadays cant sleep; got a lot on my mind right now
The singer is experiencing insomnia due to relationship troubles

I'm kinda swimming in my thoughts right now and I think I might drown
The artist feels overwhelmed and suffocated by their thoughts about the relationship

You know I’m Town Town Town but for now I gotta slow it all down
The singer is known for being active and busy in their community, but is taking a break for the relationship

Where Black Wall Street used to hang in the east
A reference to the history of Tulsa, Oklahoma and the legacy of its black community

And we still don't bang with police
A commentary on the tense relationship between the black community and law enforcement

No gangs in the streets
A note that there are no gangs in the artist's area

Well we got a couple of em
There are some people who are willing to cause trouble

Cuz we may start busting if you push a button
There is a warning that things may escalate if someone provokes the community

Down here man we always up to something
The community is always busy and working towards something

Cuz ‘round here we don't ever get enough of nothing
The community is striving for more and always has a thirst for improvement

We put in work on our day off
The community is dedicated and hardworking, even on their days off

Everybody tryna prove that they ain't soft
There is a culture of proving oneself and showing strength

Downtown late at night
The singer is in a city center at night

Everything on sight
There is a lot to do and see in the city center

And these dudes carry 9's like they play golf
People carry guns as casually as someone might carry a golf club

But where I come from they don't fall in love
The community the singer comes from is not known for being romantic or affectionate

They just walk all through the halls with drugs
People in the singer's community are more interested in drugs than love

Play a lil ball then they call some girls
People in the artist's community play sports and then pursue romantic relationships

Then they hit malls with thugs
People in the artist's community go shopping with their rougher friends

But I rather be with you right now
The singer would rather be with their significant other than doing anything else

So g’on tell me what's the move right now
Asking the significant other what they want to do together

If you don't wanna go we can cool right now
Offering the option to stay in if the significant other prefers

And imma dim a light and set the mood right now
The artist is going to create a romantic setting for the two of them

That’s the truth right now
Affirming the sincerity of the artist's feelings

And they say that time is money, and I'm not sure if it's true
Reflecting on the concept of time and money

But if my money could buy time I'm spending everything on you
If money could literally buy time, the artist would spend all of it on being with their significant other

Cuz I can't be apart from you
Reiterating the importance of the significant other to the singer

My happy beginning and ending just starts with you
Reaffirming that the significant other is the source of joy and completeness

And I know that this thing can get hard
Acknowledging that the relationship can be difficult

But if in your heart you think that
Asking the significant other for their input and agreement about being together

Together forever I think should we make it real
A desire for the relationship to become permanent and committed

Just relax your mind
Encouragement for the significant other to not worry and take things easy

I know I been working a lot, this g’on take some time
Acknowledging that building a relationship takes effort and time

And you blessing I'm lucky to find
Recognizing that finding a good partner is fortunate

Together forever I think we should close the deal
Reiterating that the relationship should become permanent and committed

Yeah
An affirmation to close the song
