[Verse 1]

Alibis, you caught me on my father's side

You looking at me so wide eyed

Sun got my skin too dry

And I lied 'bout my different thoughts on you

And I lied 'bout my different feelings too

[Bridge]

Back and forth, seesaw with my god

I don't even need y'all, or the squad

Swimming on, too raw, cape cod

Swimming on, too raw, cape cod

Back and forth, seesaw with my god

I don't even need y'all, or the squad

Swimming on, too raw, cape cod

Swimming on, too raw, too raw

[Verse 2]

My love don't feel no more

I got some news for all of y'all

I got these bruises for my skin

They keep us zoo'd up with no walls

I remember way back when I thought white girls wouldn't like me

And now, man, it's a sin to even think about them lightly

My life be a moment in a moment for a small fee

I stand like a tall tree, but they won't stop cutting

So I'll just keep strutting my strong melanin

Too offensive, back then I would lose all my kin

Like Kunte to Toby, you talk like we friends

I wish that I knew you, I knew you, back then

But maybe your new soul just want this to end

So patience is perfect, and life don't give in

[Outro]

So I gotta split it two ways

Keeping up my new face

It's gonna be alright, alright

Alright, alright, alright, alright, yeah

Gotta split it two ways

Keeping up my new face

It's gonna be alright, alright

Alright, alright, alright, alright, yeah

Gotta split it two ways

Keeping up my new face

It's gonna be alright, alright

Alright, alright, alright, alright, yeah

Gotta split it two ways
