Private
alif & sonaone Lyrics

And I'm private (sh)
I prefer to keep to myself and not share much with others

Keepin to myself but I ain't hidin
I maintain my privacy but I'm not trying to hide from anyone

They will never know when A's arrivin
Others will never anticipate or be aware of my presence or actions

Even when I pull up I ain't drivin (skirt)
Even when I arrive, I'm not the one in control or taking charge

Classic things only like a violin
I appreciate and prefer timeless and elegant things, just like a violin

Side chick gon stood the whole show but she ain't rubbin
My casual partner will be present at the event, but without any intimate actions

Imma end the enemy quick it won't be violent
I will swiftly defeat my opponent without resorting to aggression

Friends back home always askin me where I've been
My friends from home are constantly curious about my whereabouts

They know I'll be movin and I love to move in silence
They understand that I enjoy traveling and making progress without drawing attention

And it's like work (yuh)
They perceive my actions as diligent and task-driven

Imma take the shots said it might hurt (yuh)
I will face challenges, knowing it might be painful

The key is stay alert that ain't minor (yuh)
It's crucial to remain cautious and vigilant, as it's not a trivial matter

Tell me bout the future not the prior no
I'm more interested in hearing about future plans rather than past events

And my number's not new
My phone number is not recently acquired

If you don't have it I guess we were not cool
If you don't possess my contact information, then our relationship wasn't meaningful

How do I like you when you're not you
I find it difficult to genuinely appreciate someone who is not being true to themselves

This is why sometimes I get uncomfortable ble ble
These circumstances explain why I feel uneasy at times

Bases and if even you don't know
Facts and details that even you might not be aware of

Everything private got a public IG and a private
Although I maintain privacy, I have both public and private aspects of my life

How you know that life's shit this my real life shit
How can you truly understand the difficulties of life? This is my genuine experience

Bootleg my own shit I'm a pirate ay
I unofficially distribute and share my own creations, like a pirate

I knew I was gonna make it like a psychic
I always had a strong belief that I would achieve success, just like a psychic predicts

All your men gals are turning into my side chick
Many individuals who are in relationships are becoming interested in me on the side

I remember when I told myself I might quit
There was a time when I considered giving up on my pursuits

Yeah I used to be like that and now I'm like this
In the past, I had a different mindset, but I have evolved into my current state

I hit it once and never met her since
I had a brief encounter with someone, and we haven't met again since

I hope that her husband can forgive her sins
I wish for forgiveness from the woman's spouse for engaging in a forbidden affair

My first verses were embarrassing
My initial attempts at writing lyrics were awkward or cringe-worthy

My life's risk got no comparison
The risks I take in life cannot be compared to others

I ain't sharing it at least now wasn't fed to give
I don't want to share my experiences, at least I wasn't forced to disclose them

That's the narrative
That's the story or account of events

Not my neck where the karat is
The value or worth of my identity is not dependent on material possessions or wealth

Looking for a legend found me
Those searching for a remarkable and exceptional individual discovered me

Oh that is if you say it ain't I don't care it is
Even if you deny it, I don't care because it's the truth

These no bases and if even you do know
These are not grounded on any foundations, and even if you have knowledge

Everything private got a public IG and a private
While I maintain privacy, there are both public and private aspects in my life

How you know that life's shit this my real life shit
How can you truly understand the hardships of life? This is my genuine experience

Bootleg my own shit I'm a pirate ay
I distribute my own creations unofficially, just like a pirate

And imma need to know bases and if even you don't know
I will require a solid foundation of knowledge, even if you lack it

Everything private got a public IG and a private (hm)
Even though I value privacy, there are elements of my life visible to the public

How you know that life's shit this some true life shit
How can you understand the difficulties of life? This is authentic and real-life experience

Bootleg my own shit I'm a pirate
I unofficially distribute my own creations, just like a pirate

Everything private (everything private)
Maintaining a sense of privacy in all aspects

Everything private (everything private)
Maintaining a sense of privacy in all aspects

Everything private (everything everything)
Every aspect of my life is kept private

Everything (everything)
Every little detail

You
Referring to someone

Want that
Desiring something specific

But I don't
But I do not have that desire

Want that
Not having the desire for something specific
