Lyrics[]
[Verse: SZA]
I think I'm bad as hell, I got issues, out of line
Sayin' tomorrow I'll do the dishes, never come
Easy bake, easy wake, oven
Just give as much as you take
Forgive as much as you hate
Or get the fuck out
[Pre-Chorus: SZA]
I've been in the dugout (Dugout)
Lookin' for a way out (Way out)
You know, just takin' it slow (Oh, yeah, yeah, yeah)
Now I'm feelin' worn out (Worn out)
Lookin' for a way out (Way out)
Somebody show me the door (Oh, yeah, yeah, yeah)
[Chorus: James Fauntleroy & SZA]
I was wavy
I've been waitin' for you, boy
And I was drownin' (Ooh)
I went crazy
I've been goin' crazy, boy
And I found out, this the way out (Ooh)
Now I'm wavy
Now I'm wavy
[Outro: SZA]
You know, just takin' it slow, babe (Yeah, yeah, yeah)
Somebody show me the door, babe (Oh, yeah, yeah, yeah)
You know, just takin' it slow, babe
Somebody show me the ropes, babe
[Chorus: SZA]
...As long as you don't forget me
As long as you don't forget me
[Verse 2: SZA]
Me and Ashley at the golf course
Keg party 'til the cops came
And we ran for it bare foot
Never had a chance
We could never understand
The price of being fast and young
The price of being black in Suburbia
Daddy ain't workin' and you just
Tryna' to measure up to the rich kids
With they JanSport backpacks
With they name on it
Tell 'em evil girls "back, back!"
They've been plottin' on you
Waitin' for you outside, get out at 2:45
So I waited, and I waited
[Verse 1: SZA]
I think I'm bad as hell, I got issues, out of line
Sayin' tomorrow I'll do the dishes, never come
Easy bake, easy wake, oven
Just give as much as you take
Forgive as much as you hate
Or get the fuck out
[Pre-Chorus: SZA]
I've been in the dugout
Lookin' for a way out
You know, just takin' it slow
Now I'm feelin' worn out
Lookin' for a way out
Somebody show me the door
[Chorus: James Fauntleroy & SZA]
I was wavy
Then I was drowning (Ooh)
I went crazy
And I found out, this the way out
Now I'm wavy
Now I'm wavy
[Verse 2: SZA]
Me and Ashley
Late night on the golf course
Keg party 'til the cops came
And we ran for it bare foot
Never had a chance
We could never understand
The price of being fast and young
The price of being black in Suburbia
Daddy ain't workin' and you just
Tryna' to measure up to the rich kids
With they JanSport backpacks
With they name on it
Tell 'em evil mama "back, back!"
They've been plottin' on me
So I'm waitin', and so I'm waitin' they
[Bridge: SZA]
You know, just takin' it slow, babe
Somebody show me the door, baby
You know, just takin' it slow, babe
Somebody show me the ropes, babe
[Chorus: James Fauntleroy & SZA]
I was wavy
Then I was drownin' (Ooh)
I went crazy
And I found out, this the way out
Now I'm wavy
Now I'm wavy
[Outro: James Fauntleroy]
I was wavy
Then I was drownin'
I went crazy
And I found out, this the way out
Now I'm wavy
Now I'm wavy
[Verse 1: SZA]
I think I'm bad as hell, I got issues, out of line
Sayin' tomorrow I'll do the dishes, never come

[Pre-Chorus: SZA]
I've been in the dugout
Lookin' for a way out
You know, just takin' it slow
Now I'm feelin' worn out
Lookin' for a way out
Somebody show me the door
[Chorus: James Fauntleroy]
I was wavy
Then I was drownin'
I went crazy
And I found out, this the way out
Now I'm wavy
Now I'm wavy

[Verse 2: SZA]
I need, I need, I need another re-up
I need, I need, I need another peace of mind
Need more than California
Couple of waves, think I need the whole sea
Couple of days, think I need the whole week
N****, I can just beat the universe
'Cause I, I, I, I, I, I provide for myself
Ride for myself, die for day ones
Get down 'cause they got guns
And no one around to save you, come correct
It's pouring
Good morning, New Jersey
[Bridge: SZA]
You know just takin' it slow, babe
Somebody show me the door, babe
You know just takin' it slow, babe
Somebody show me the ropes, babe
[Chorus: James Fauntleroy]
I was wavy
And I was drownin'
I went crazy
And I found out, this the way out
Now I'm wavy
Now I'm wavy
