[Intro]
Yeah
You got your all the way LL
Like, like '95 LL
[Verse 1: Torae]
They say you are who you are when no one's watching
Well I've been low when you've been popping
You're focused, you're smart, your career with options
And s**y is just the topping, I'm feeling you
Was hoping I could take you out for a meal or two
Some chit chat to find you what's the deal with you
Oh you're single, but you don't do talk
Especially no dudes from New York, we're so odd
Momma put it in your mind we was no good
Bestie tell you all the time how she going through it
All the drama, and you don't want it
We living it like we own it, I get that
But I ain't looking to just hit it and quit that
Take my math, when you get it [?] get back
Ha, she looking like “sure, you right”
I'm looking like “bet you call the night
Bet you override”
[Hook: Jarell Perry]
Override
You wish you know me better
You wish you never waited so long to override
Everything you thought you knew before
You was so sure, so sure
Now you need to go and override
[Verse 2: Torae]
Huh, you got to think it over, baby
But don't overthink it, I told you, lady
Huh, I want to get to know you maybe
You feel my approach is crazy
I'm out of my mind, but I can't get you out of my mind
And the thoughts of you consume a lot of my time
Got a lot on my mind I want to do
And all I need is opportunity and you
I told you right
Girl, you really need to override
Everything that you thought ain't come overnight
Let me hold you tight, you gon' stay
And be my WCE, that's everyday
And every way, got to know how I'm feeling you cray
Like I made you a build-a-bae
Ha, the place and time you name any day is fine
I just need you to change your mind
[Hook]
[Verse 3: Torae]
When I'm alone in my room, sometimes I stare at the wall
And think of you pinned against it, we getting it on
While I'm getting you off, I'm on top
You telling me to do everything except stop
We drop and roll, it's a fire we cannot control
I'm in deep past your cervix and served ‘til I got your soul
Lock and load and then bang
I'm telling you let's do it again, you can't hang
But that's just the fantasy
Daydreaming on the canopy
It's so simple, how can it be
I'm just candidly waiting, can't stand to be patient
Singing girl, can't we get this started, I'm so anxious
To make a move on your heart, it's so vacant
And you've had a change of heart, it's so blatant
Working overtime, trying hard not to coincide
On the ride over ‘bout to override
[Hook]
[Outro: Roni Marsalis]
And it came to me on the 12th day of the 8th month and all he said was “hello”
A hello that graciously swam inside my ears while my eyes drowned inside his soul
He approached me as if I was the treasure to his gold
As if he knew I would be pleased with the cadence and just his stroll alone
So I stared, gazing at the stars even more intrigued
When he acknowledges our constellations in the galaxy
He seems to know how the universe works
So I have to ask him, will he ever say hello again?
Only three seconds in and I've been blown like the wind
He feels familiar we're kin
Elevating so high, we collide like hydrogen
See, hearing his voice illuminates my mind's eye
Vibrates within my spine
And he sounds even better when he's electrified
With love, love himself
And I wouldn't expect him to be anyone else
Hello
This time, say it slow
I can feel it in his smile, he appreciates my glow
So I asked his favorite color, he says yellow
And before I can shake my next sentence
He screams solar plexus which lets me know he's in tune with his reflexes
And I find it astounding how he, he knows I'm that kind of lady
Eclectic, yet sometimes I'm called crazy
But he, him, his simple hello, charged my [?] with hopes that I'll soon see him again
But only time, only time will know
Only time will know
