"OCTOBER 31ST" lyrics
Musiq Soulchild & Hit-Boy Lyrics
These dating streets ain't what they used to be
Tryna take things slow first time we meet
Maybe get some drinks or
Grab something to eat, uh
They be tryna get flewed out to Ibiza—
First class flights
Hotels on the beach, uh
Probably got a man, but you with me on the creep, uh
Want your hair did, nails did
And your feet, uh
Even pay your rent
Girl, you need to
Slow down
Yeah, I don't know what you on
Moving like I owe ya
When I don't even know ya
Slow down
And then you try to play me
When I don't wanna pay it
If you broke, just say it
Slow down
Ay, I might not make it
Just out here surfin'
'Cause the dating pool's tainted
Slow down, uh
I'm tryna find a way to go now
Got me feeling like I won't find it at all
Ay, tryna find love's for the birds
Yeah, scary like October 31st
Ay, mask off
Tryna find out what it's really worth
And it's only getting worse—
Ain't nobody tryna get hurt
Monday
On the rebound from breaking up
Tuesday
Met something new at the club
Wednesday
I got the nerve to hit her up
Thursday
She dropped the addy, now I'm pulling up
Friday
I hit; I think I'm in love
Saturday
Sunday
And that's how they treat you
Out here searching for a keeper
When I know I need to
Slow down
Yeah, I don't know what I'm on
Moving like I owe 'em
When I don't even know 'em
Slow down
And then they try to play me
When I don't wanna pay it
If you broke, just say it
Slow down
Ay, I might not make it
Just out here surfin'
'Cause the dating pool's tainted
Slow down, uh
I'm tryna find a way to go now
They got me feeling like I won't find it at all
Ay, tryna find love's for the birds
Yeah, scary like October 31st
Ay, mask off
Tryna find out what it's really worth
And it's only getting worse—
Ain't nobody tryna get hurt
So before the street lights come on
I'll get on my bike and just go home
What's the reason for me to be outside for?
Last time I stayed too long
First red flag and I'm gone
Yeah, I'm gone
Caramel-complected
Elected, it ain't no Kamala
The ambiance of a goddess, bad as a toddler
Let a worker work
It's a difference between Ol' Dirty and Dirt McGirt
Think I'll have the surf and turf
Quota reached, spooky as October 31st
Early dirt, create the flowers; I'm prolly burning purp
Pablo and the Soulchild—
I bet they know now
Seen my destiny with no child
My vision so loud
Slow down
Speeding through them drinks, got you twisted like a pretzel
I'm from the projects, play a business meeting in a sweatsuit
Monday to Sunday, thinking how I'm gon' stretch you
You bad, but if you wrong, I'm gon' correct you
Ya ex knew
You was so toxic, needed a gas mask
Usually the realest out the mix get the last laugh
Either that paper come in slow or it get fast
Acted like you was a fan, you was tryna get wit Fab. I be knowing...
Ay, tryna find love's for the birds
Yeah, scary like October 31st
Ay, mask off
Tryna find out what it's really worth
And it's only getting worse—
Ain't nobody tryna get hurt
Tryna take things slow first time we meet
Maybe get some drinks or
Grab something to eat, uh
They be tryna get flewed out to Ibiza—
