About This Track

'December' is the closest thing on 'Is He Real?' to a love song. IDK moves through admiration and desire with a kind of stuttering rhythm, the production built around a repeated vocal patch that sounds like it's catching on itself. He catalogs what he likes about his subject, moving from physical detail to emotional need, asking for time to think even as he's drawn in. Burna Boy arrives in the pre-chorus to mirror the pull, the two voices circling the same gravitational centre. The song settles into a chorus that trades specificity for feeling, the image of December and falling timber doing the work of saying what IDK can't quite articulate directly. There's a hesitation built into the melody itself, a sense of someone trying to slow down a feeling that won't wait.

"December" is a track by .idk., from the album Is He Real?, released 4th September 2019. Full lyrics are available below.

Lyrics

December

[Intro: IDK]

'Patch, 'patch, 'patch, 'patch, 'pat-pat-patch

'Patch, 'patch, 'patch, 'pat-pat-pat-patch, 'patch

[Verse 1: IDK]

I met this little girl, her name is Maxie

Her beauty's like a bunch of rose

But if I ever tell ya bout Maxie

You're gonna say I don't know what I know, but

Murder she wrote (I like it, I like it)

Murder she wrote (I like it, I like it)

Murder she wrote, na-na-na (I like it, I like it)

[Chorus: IDK]

When I saw you I remembered

The feeling of, the feeling of December

My fire will be falling like timber

Tip-toein' to class, you're like a ninja, yeah, yeah, yeah

Ease back and gimme some time to process (Ohh)

I need a little more time with you as an option

Gimme some time to process

I need a little more time to visit my logic

[Refrain: IDK]

Oh, I like it, oh, I like that

Oh, I like it, oh, I like that

Ayy, I like it, ayy, I like that

Ayy, I like it, yeah, I like that

Oh, I like it, oh, I like that

Oh, I like it, oh, I like that

Ayy, I like it, ayy, I like that

Ayy, I like it, ayy, I like that

[Verse 2: IDK]

Dispatch, yeah, dispatch (Hello?)

We're gonna need to call them when I get that (Uh)

Slim with them thighs that mix-match (Uh-huh)

Sweet and your spice, ya Tic Tac (Uh, ohh)

Dispatch, yeah, dispatch (Hello?)

Man, every time you call, I never miss that (Uh)

You are the one, I guessed that (I guessed that)

I could be wrong and misstepped

[Pre-Chorus: Burna Boy & IDK]

Because every time I hear your body callin' for me (I like it, I like it)

I go outside in a hurry (I like it, I like it)

I know, know wettin' you dey do me (I like it, I like it)

If I do you wrong, I’m sorry (I like it, I like it)

Yeah, nobody do you like I do (I like it, I like it)

You never seen nobody move like I do (I like it, I like it)

Ooh, you don't even say 'Hi' to me, ooh, do what you do (I like it, I like it)

Oh

[Chorus: IDK]

When I saw you, I remembered

The feeling of, the feeling of December

My fire will be falling like timber

Tip-toein' to class, you're like a ninja, yeah, yeah, yeah

Ease back and gimme some time to process

I need a little more time with you as an option

Gimme some time to process

I need a little more time to visit my logic

[Refrain: IDK]

Oh, I like it, oh, I like that

Oh, I like it, oh, I like that

Ayy, I like it, ayy, I like that

Ayy, I like it, yeah, I like that

Tell me how and tell me where and tell me when

You know me, I could pull up in a Bimmer or a Benz (Ayy)

You're making out me life, you know me ready fi de fam (Yeah)

You no say, "No," let me now give you healin' (Yeah)

[Pre-Chorus: Burna Boy & IDK]

If I do you wrong, I’m sorry (I like it, I like it)

Yeah, nobody do you like I do (I like it, I like it)
