[Intro]
Uh, uh, uh, uh
Oh, yeah, oh
On the low, on the low, on the low

[Verse 1 – Skepta]

Yeah, I’m off tour, we should celebrate
Dedicate some time for you, baby, it’s a date
I can’t be late, gotta regulate
‘Cause I hate dirty looks on your pretty face
Maybach, I pulled up on a shitty day
I told her, “Bring a passport”, told her, “Bring a case”
Flight for a couple days, we should take a trip away
There’s no time like the present, we’re getting lit today

[Chorus – Tiwa Savage]
Say you wanna link on the low
Lay in between the sheets on the low
So that no one could see us on the low
Make we just creep, dip it though
I know you want to link on the low
We have to stay discreet, you don’t know
And now, we’re on the street on the low
And if they asking about we, I don’t know

[Verse 2 – Skepta & Tiwa Savage]
We turn nothing into something and say that it’s nothing
Stop all the fronting when we both know we’re talking
It’s not up for discussion, we don’t do much discussing
So don’t act like there’s nothing when we both know there’s something
(There’s something)

[Bridge – Tiwa Savage]
You know you make me vex on the low
Boy, you make me stressed, you don’t know
Then you send me sweet texts on the low
So now, me can’t leave you alone

[Verse 3 – Skepta]
Yeah, might be in too deep
Can’t save myself, gonna lose it
Feel like me rendering a service and you give me a tip
Mind going crazy chasing lucid dreams
We turn nothing into something and say that it’s nothing
Stop all the fronting when we both know we’re talking
It’s not up for discussion, we don’t do much discussing
So don’t act like there’s nothing when we both know there’s something
(There’s something)

[Outro – Skepta]
Yeah, I’m off tour, we should celebrate
Dedicate some time for you, baby, it’s a date
I can’t be late, gotta regulate
‘Cause I hate dirty looks on your pretty face
Maybach, I pulled up on a shitty day
I told her, “Bring a passport”, told her, “Bring a case”
Flight for a couple days, we should take a trip away
There’s no time like the present, we’re getting lit today
