Prom
SZA Lyrics
Fearin' not growin' up
Keepin' me up at night
Am I doin' enough?
Feel like I'm wastin' time
Promise to get a little
Better as I get older
And you're so patient
And sick of waitin'
Promise to do better
Probably wanna let me go
But you can't, oh
Right now I feel it pourin'
I need a little bit
Just a little bit
Just a little bit
Right now I feel it pourin'
I need a little bit
Just a little bit
Just a little bit
Please don't take it, don't take it personal
Like I know you usually do
Please don't take it, don't take it personal
Like I know you usually do
Please, please
Don't take it personal
Don't take it personal
Darling, like I know you will
Forget to call your mama on the weekend
You should put yourself in time out
Shame, shame on you
But lately you've been feelin' so good
I forget my future, never pull out
Shame, shame on me
Baby the money'll make it easier for me
To run and hide out somewhere
So far away
Hoppin' through poppy fields
Dodgin' evil witches
These houses keep droppin' everywhere
Promise to get a little
Better as I get older
And you're so patient
And sick of waitin'
Promise to do better
Shoulda coulda
Prolly wanna let me go
But you can't, oh
Right now I feel it pourin'
I need a little bit
Just a little bit
Just a little bit
Right now it's really pourin'
I need a little bit
Just a little bit
Just a little bit
Please don't take it, don't take it personal
Like I know you usually do
Please don't take it, take it personal
Like winters fall on us, heavy
Take it off me, holy
Like winter, I can't stand this
Snow is falling all on me

The fifth track on SZA’s debut album, Ctrl is the most reminiscent of her previous EPs with a pop-disco sound.
She reflects about her insecurities on not maturing as quickly as her partner is. Prom season is usually the last big event before graduation for a high schooler, and SZA is too busy living in the moment that she forgets she has her future to look forward to.
This is also around the age when friends are growing apart and have decided where and what they’re doing with their lives Read Full BioThe fifth track on SZA’s debut album, Ctrl is the most reminiscent of her previous EPs with a pop-disco sound.

This is also around the age when friends are growing apart and have decided where and what they’re doing with their lives, and a lot are trying to hold on to the people they’ve known, even though they’re growing up differently. The person SZA is talking to in the song seems to take everything, even change, to heart.

"Iss called prom cus I ain’t have no friends in high school so I went to Miami w my mama for prom instead . Lol"

Fearing not growing up
Keeping me up at night
Am I doing enough?
Feel like I'm wasting time
Promise to get a little
Better as I get older
And you're so patient
And sick of waiting
Promise to do better
Shoulda coulda
Prolly wanna let me go
But you can't, oh
Right now I feel it pouring
I need a little bit
Just a little bit
Just a little bit
Right now I feel it pouring
I need a little bit
Just a little bit
Just a little bit
Please don't take it, don't take it personal
Like I know you usually do
Please don't take it, don't take it personal
Like I know you usually do
Please, please
Don't take it personal
Don't take it personal
Darling, like I know you will
Forget to call your mama on the weekend
You should put yourself in time out
Shame, shame on you
But lately you've been feeling so good
I forget my future, never pull out
Shame, shame on me
Baby the money'll make it easier for me
To run and hide out somewhere
So far away
Hopping through poppy fields
Dodging evil witches
These houses keep dropping everywhere
Promise to get a little
Better as I get older
And you're so patient
And sick of waiting
Promise to do better
Shoulda coulda
Prolly wanna let me go
But you can't, oh
Right now I feel it pouring
I need a little bit
Just a little bit
Just a little bit
Right now it's really pouring
I need a little bit
Just a little bit
Just a little bit
Please don't take it, don't take it personal
Like I know you usually do
Please don't take it, take it personal
Like I know you usually do
Like winters fall on us, heavy
Take it off me, all it off
Winter, I can't stand this
Snow is falling all on me

This is one of the songs that you skip over countless times until you are busy doing something and let it play in its entirety. Only then do you realize how much of a gem it is.
