You know that's right
Can you turn me up?
That shit crazy
Let 'em know
One, one, one
I don't even try to
Of all the things that you have done
So put the past behind you
You're living in a lie too
The present time has had enough
It's the things that you do (do)
I know, we've gone too far (too far)
When I think about the things that we do (we do)
And you know, you've gone too far (too far)
If you think about the things that we do
Yo
Ah, girl, why you talking to him? (Huh?)
He ain't gon' bite, so you barking again
You got better shots but you blocking the rim (yeah)
But too scared to work it out 'cause you locked in the gym
I'll throw you the keys if you ride with the boy (ayy, yo)
I'll holla when I'm down at ya pad (I'm downstairs)
Hop in, we can drive to your joy (get outta here)
And peel off like the top of a scab
Listen
I'm not gonna try to (no)
Try to understand you (no)
Let's just say what's done is done (what's done is done)
So put the past behind you
You're living in a lie too
The present time has had enough
It's the things that you do (do)
I know we've gone too far (too far)
When I think about the things that we do (we do)
And you know, we've gone too far (too far)
If you think about the things that we do
I don't even care (I don't even care)
Because you know I won't be there (I won't be there)
Because you know you better work on you (on you)
You try so hard to be someone else
Not yourself
Yo, Snoh listen (yo)
Your boyfriend a clown
You looking like a birthday party (woo)
Loud as a motherfucka, gifts all gaudy (woo)
And you gon' be hurt until he blurt, "I'm sorry" (yeah)
Tryna play it off, leaving with ya shirt all soggy (hey)
Drunk collar, me the Don Dada
Gyal come with, hit it off, piñata
Sweet as the guts, then you can sit on the steps
But make a choice
'Cause you 'bout to lose your spot on the jet (yeah, haha)
It's the things that you do
I know we've gone too far, yeah
When I think about the things that we do
And you know, you've gone too far, baby
On and on, I'm stuck
On and on (it's the things that we do), I'm stuck
On and on, I'm stuck (oh no)
On and on, I'm stuck (yeah)
On and on, I'm stuck
On and on
On and on (mm-hmm)
On and on
It's the things that you do
It's the things that we
It's the things that we do, oh (do, do)
It's the things that you do
The song NEON PEACH by Snoh Aalegra featuring Tyler The Creator is about letting go of the past and moving forward. The lyrics suggest that they have both done things that they regret, but instead of dwelling on those mistakes, they want to focus on the present and future. Snoh encourages her partner to be their true self and stop trying to be someone else.
Tyler chimes in with a rap verse that reinforces the message of the song. He calls out Snoh's boyfriend, describing him as a clown and suggesting that she will be hurt until he apologizes. Tyler urges her to make a choice and not to lose her spot on the "jet" (presumably a metaphor for success and happiness).
Overall, the song is a catchy and upbeat reminder to let go of the past and focus on the present. It's a message that many listeners can relate to and a reminder to be true to oneself and not compromise on one's values.
