One Way St.

(album: Chilombo - 2020)

[Jhené Aiko:]
Going the wrong way on a one-way street
Going the wrong way on a one-way street, ah

I'm feeling strangely sane today
I am amazed, I'm brave today
I rearranged my brain today
I rearranged my ways

Going the wrong way on a one-way street, yeah
Going the wrong way on a one-way street, ah

I wait for love, I waste away
Wasting my days, I waste away
I wasted love, I waste away
Wasting my days, I wait

[Jhené Aiko (Ab-Soul):]
Going the wrong way on a one-way street, yeah
Going the wrong way on a one-way street (Yo), ah

[Ab-Soul:]
Stuck in traffic on the road less traveled, no fast track
That's how life'll do you, I had to learn to backtrack
Before I could move forward, like quadruple
Uh, I been going insane, ask Jhené
I may be way too high, the sky is in my way
My judgement's cloudy because of it
Still staying grounded like a child on punishment
Running and tumbling, stumbling, hiding from idle time (Time)
It isn't in my design to deny the signs (Signs)
Always remember the fallen when on the rise (Rise)
And when you find your calling, don't hit decline (Hello)
They want me with my back against the wall
I bounce back, that's a echo
Fuck 'em all, not sexually, disrespectfully
Instead of catching me, all that's left of me is tire marks
I'm gone

[Jhené Aiko:]
Yeah
Melancholy, mediocre mess
Maybe I should just give it a rest now
I just gotta get this off my chest
Lately I have been so fucking stressed out
Flippin'-floppy, wishy-washy, never twice the same
Found her calling, now they're calling her another name
"This bitch crazy, or just maybe so sane she's insane"
Hard to say, well, who's to say which way is the wrong way
Wait, wait

Yeah, I fuck with that
You're my friend
Okay, bye
