Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
It's a new day
Family in the back, got my folks on the way
We love in the moment
My peoples around and I'm zonin'
Lemme catch my breath
While I'm dippin' over to my one, two, step
And every song that we used to love

I really miss the days that I used to talk to you
I really miss the things we used to do
Lets drop it on the one

Let's drop it on the one
I really miss the…
And baby we can work it out
On the one
Drop it, On the, One
