[Intro: Khalid & Lucky Daye]

Oh-oh, yeah

Oh-oh

Hella fine


[Verse 1: Khalid]

'Round the world like I'm tourin'

I got a flight out in the mornin'

I don't know where I'm goin'

But it's ninety-nine in New Orleans now

When it's rainin' it's pourin'

I'm better off by the ocean breeze

Easier not knowin'

Gotta live in the moment


[Pre-Chorus: Khalid]

My personal and business lives are separate

They're only fuckin' with you for your benefits

Don't get your feelings hurt bein' sensitive, no

Get your feelings hurt bein' sensitive, no


[Chorus: Khalid]

I'll take some time, sit in my retrograde (Retrograde)

I'm gettin' high so I don't feel no pain

In my mind, I feel it in my veins, in my veins

Retro, retrograde


[Verse 2: 6LACK]

Found a lil' comfort in the pain

Ain't no fuckin' love on your brain

'Cause if it was you would think about

Everything that I gotta think about

They fuckin' with me for the benefit, how am I supposed to know

When everybody sound the same in the new Lambo? (Vroom, vroom)

Light the blunt, Scottie beam me up (Zoom, zoom)

Time to leave the room, yeah


[Pre-Chorus: Khalid & 6LACK]

My personal and business lives are separate

They're only fuckin' with you for your benefits

Don't get your feelings hurt bein' sensitive, no (Yeah)

Get your feelings hurt bein' sensitive, no


[Chorus: Khalid]

I'll take some time, sit in my retrograde (Retrograde)

I'm gettin' high so I don't feel no pain (Feel no pain, no)

In my mind, I feel it in my veins, in my veins

Retro, retrograde


[Post-Chorus: Khalid]

And it's takin' me far

Takin' me farther, yeah

Taking me farther, farther, farther, farther, far

Oh-oh, oh

Retro, retrograde


[Verse 3: Lucky Daye]

Oh baby, you caught me off guard, let you play me

Why'd I involve my heart? Wherever you go, let you take me

Gotta watch all my movement like hooligan, right now (Ooh)

I'm certain I need you, but I'm way too loud

From enemies to frenemies, don't know who to trust

Can't rush through the phases, oh my


[Pre-Chorus: Khalid & Lucky Daye]

My personal and business lives are separate

They're only fuckin' with you for your benefits

Don't get your feelings hurt bein' sensitive, no

Get your feelings hurt bein' sensitive, no

[Chorus: Khalid, Lucky Daye, Both/Khalid & Lucky Daye]

I take some time to sit in my retrograde (Retrograde)

I'm gettin' high so I don't feel no pain

In my mind, I feel it in my veins, in my veins

Retro, retrograde, yeah (Retrograde, ooh)


[Post-Chorus: Khalid & Lucky Daye]

And it's takin' me far

Takin' me farther, yeah

Taking me farther, farther, farther, farther, far

Oh-oh, oh

Retro, retrograde
