Lyrics

Surface

[Chorus: Etta Bond]

Yeah, you're pretty but show me what's beneath your surface

I wanna know ya

I don't need to check the 'Gram, I'm the one that took the photo

They want you as their man but they don't even know ya

Tell me all about your purpose

And what you plan to grow to

I don't need to check the 'Gram, I'm the one that took the photo

They want you as their man but they don't even know ya

[Verse 1: Etta Bond]

You're like no one that I've ever seen

Front page cover of a magazine

But my mama told me nothing's really ever as it seems

Nothing's really ever as it seems

You're like no one that I've ever seen

Front page cover of a magazine

But my mama told me nothing's really ever as it seems

Nothing's really ever as it seems

[Chorus: Etta Bond]

Yeah, you're pretty but show me what's beneath your surface

I wanna know ya

I don't need to check the 'Gram, I'm the one that took the photo

They want you as their man but they don't even know ya

Tell me all about your purpose

And what you plan to grow to

I don't need to check the 'Gram, I'm the one that took the photo

They want you as their man but they don't even know ya

[Verse 2: Etta Bond]

Seem like something straight out of a dream

But there's always something hiding underneath

If you wanna tell me baby, you can open up to me

Baby, you can open up to me (You can open up to me)

Seem like something straight out of a dream

But there's always something hiding underneath

If you wanna tell me baby, you can open up to me

Baby, you can open up to me

[Chorus: Etta Bond]

Yeah, you're pretty but show me what's beneath your surface

I wanna know ya

I don't need to check the 'Gram, I'm the one that took the photo

They want you as their man but they don't even know ya

Tell me all about your purpose

And what you plan to grow to

I don't need to check the 'Gram, I'm the one that took the photo

They want you as their man but they don't even know ya

[Bridge: Etta Bond]

You can't hide yourself forever baby

Oh, those likes don't mean nothing

They'll find out one day

You can't hide yourself forever baby

Oh, those likes don't mean nothing

Nothing's really ever as it seems

[Rap: A2]

Never, never, never

Tell your mummy, "Hi"

She ain't never lied

Ghosted like a poltergeist

Tryna pick my moments right, yeah

Always moaning, bet you grown this time

We was young back then but swear you've grown with time

Wait there, wait there

Hey there, stay there

Wait and see

You just barely scratched the surface girl, I'm way too deep

Heard you put that work in, I just came to see

Fighting all your urges baby, c'est la vie

I don't wanna tell you how much you deserve this

I need to show you

They won't find out what we do behind them curtains

I been ready, I'm just checking if you're certain

You're certain now

I know they're all lurking around

I know they're all lurking

Say that you don't miss me but I hear that kitty purring

See beyond your surface like a surgeon, I’m lurkin'

[Chorus: Etta Bond & A2]

Yeah, you're pretty but show me what's beneath your surface

I wanna know ya

I don't need to check the 'Gram, I'm the one that took the photo

They want you as their man but they don't even know ya

Tell me all about your purpose

And what you plan to grow to

I don't need to check the 'Gram, I'm the one that took the photo

They want you as their man but they don't even know ya
