Passes You By

Lyrics

[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...
