Passes You By

[Intro]

Yo, we've been seeing each other for a while

And one of the things I really appreciate about you

Is that when we in public

You be acting all shy and reserved and unsuspecting

But when the muh'fuckin' door closes, that freak come out

You be gettin' it, gettin' in

[Verse 1]

I was running my way, you know, the paper chase

Dot my I's and crossing my T's

Being raised in the hood, nigga, you knew that I would

Catch shorty as she start to breeze

Way she walked was awkward, and that made me be forward

I usually don't do what I'm about to now do

She rocked her glasses and had to pass her classes

Her last semester, her parents were investors

She seemed so shy but she had, something underneath of all that

You could tell from the scent of her person

Her ears perked when I started cursin'

I said, "Excuse me," her best imitation of bourgeois

"Let's watch a movie, allow me to pursue thee"

Hung out on broke day, stared at me in strange ways

I stared back, she held hand, and unfazed, she star-gazed

Mmm, and damn, she lookin' so good, and...

I'm fucked up, fam

[Chorus]

She's so understated, she passes you by

She really is quiet, she really is shy

But when we're alone, y'all, you know what's the deal

She jets 'til I go blind so I have to feel (Ooh, I have to feel)

She's so understated, she passes you by (By, by, ow)

[Verse 2]

People wanna know about the things you do

Because you're so quiet that you make 'em say "ooh"

Never really know where you're coming from

And you don't say much and you are not dumb

Unlike other girls of your generation

Don't go on about your occupation

Low margin on the conversation

No yap yap yap, no, you ain't like that

Got a whole lotta knowledge, you's a wild diaspora

And we hardly see you so we call you Casper

And I really really think that you think about me

When you drift to the place that the people can't see

When you're driving back home in your car alone

When you read a book or hit that zone

Know your homeboy ain't far away

Know your homeboy is here to stay

Know your homeboy gon' make it okay

Know your homeboy ain't far away

Know your homeboy is here to stay

Know your homeboy gon' make it okay, come on

[Chorus]

She's so understated, she passes you by

(Oh, she passes you by, y'all)

She really is quiet, she really is shy

(Shy, shy, shy, come on, uh)

But when we're alone, y'all, you know what's the deal

(Deal, deal, deal)

She jets 'til I go blind so I have to feel

She's so understated, she passes you by (By, by, come on)

[Verse 3]

Now here we are in closing

Your cool lifestyle's imposing

But never in a bad way

'Cause I know this ain't play play

You save them for the closed door

Which makes me wanna stay more

You really keep me intrigued

My heart is strong, not putty

Now I can't wait 'til later

When you become my savior

And we become the flavor

The envy to our neighbors

Our mission isn't perverse

Then every night is clockwork

But never is it rehearsed

We do it then we reverse

Never is it rehearsed

Every night is clockwork

Our mission isn't perverse

The envy to our neighbors

And we become the flavor

When you become my savior

And I can't wait 'til later

My heart is strong, not putty

You really keep me intrigued

This makes me wanna stay more

You save it for the closed door

'Cause I know this ain't play play

But never in a bad way

Your cool lifestyle's imposing

But here we are in closing, in closing, in closing

And here we are in closing, n closing, in closing

And here we are in closing, in closing, in closing

And here we are in closing, in closing, in closing

And here we are in...

[Outro]

Just shake, shake, just shake it

Come on, come on, just shake it, shake it

Just do it, let's do it, do it, let's do it

Ah, let's do it, do it, ah, let's do it

Just shake it, shake it, shake it, shake it

Let's do it, do it, do it, do it

Let's shake it, shake it, shake it, shake it

Ah, let's do it, do it, do it, do it

Let's shake it, shake it, shake it, shake it

Ah, let's do it, do it, do it, do it

Let's shake it, shake it, shake it, shake it

Ah, let's do it, do it, do it, do it

Let's shake it, shake it, shake it, shake it, shake it, shake it, shake it, shake it

Let's do it, do it, do it, do it, do it, do it
