[Intro | slow drums, bass pulse, smoky guitar | seductive]
we all know what time this is
(Hey, ey-ahhhahhhyy)
So snap—
grab your lady
(Hey, ey-ahhhahhhyy)

[Verse 1 | slow drums, bass, hazy guitar, piano | conflicted]
It’d be a hard life
If we couldn’t enjoy the bittersweet
Round two or three
Dead of heat
The way you pass through there
Got a hold of me
Got a body
I can’t help the take
But baby what I give you
You can’t shake
Damn—you got a way ’bout you
Not fake
Way that match
What I like and what I need
But I got hell on my back
And he after me
Even when I smile
Cause you know me
And kiss you at night
I dream of the day
My schemin’ ain’t right
Every step close
Pull me further from spotlight
Hell—I know I need clarity
Old heads preached peace in passionry
But there’s a power in me
Even honest
I gotta go
Do you run with me?
And that’s how it goes
---
[Hook | smoky ambience, bass pressure | hypnotic]
Every move got weight now
Still lose focus eventually
Got hell on my back
Still taste heaven when you next to me
Your eyes—my pressure
I know—
And that’s how temptations go
---
[Verse 2 | slow drums, bass pressure, smoky guitar | intimate]
Baby, I know you scared I might leave you
You know my block notorious to deceive too
Lord knows I got temptations
I gotta meet too
So I meet you on your street too
We got weak
Yeah—you know me
Leave it all behind
Damn—I know He watchin’
Lord, what You gave
Bring them bent—quick to fallin’
But it’s the pressure
I tell her I can commit
Does that make me lesser?
And if I was the master
Wouldn’t I control pleasure?
Baby ain’t no man got what I got
Lean in—we get talkin’
Pillow throwin’
You get to strokin’
I get to growin’
Show me the pearly gates
For heaven’s sake
Keep a piece of me
I’ll move it slow
I’ll make you cake
And don’t worry
I know when to stay and when to go
Temptation got me
I already know

[Hook | smoky ambience, bass pressure | hypnotic]
Every move got weight now
Still lose focus eventually
Got hell on my back
Still taste heaven when you next to me
Your eyes—my pressure
I know—
And that’s how temptations go
---
[Verse 3 | hazy drums, bass hum, smoky piano | tired]
If I stay consistent
Am I settlin’ down?
Is that good
When I’m steppin’ on your ground?
Do you need me
Like a day need an hour?
Do you got time
When temptation turn me sour?
Baby listen
I’d never play you fake
Is this how good kings fade?
Should I be good to you?
If you walk now
That’s okay
Maybe that’s just part of my fate

[Outro | smoky ambience, chant doubles, bass fading | hypnotic]
Oh hey, hey
Snap yo fingers (oh hey)
They all on this
(Hey, ey-ahhhahhhyy)
Oh hey, hey
P-town keep the rep up (oh hey)
Hooked on temptation
(Hey, ey-ahhhahhhyy)
