Torae - Override lyrics

[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
