I think a lot of women can respect you after they have sex with you.
For the most part, men, the respect dips down in that moment and it's a drag.
So I was inspired to write a song to address the drag.
Every time I shared it with friends in terms of the idea.
I'm trying to write this song that's addressing this thing.
Literally every woman I know was like, "Need that song."
"Please."
"Finish the damn song so that I can party to it, and pass it on."
"So that the memo can be out there."
Ethiopian ladies drink vermouth.
And my go to basic drink
is tequila Red Bull.
Patrón silver, preferably.
It's a little bit of shade. It's like the kindest shade.
I saw you there, but also I fall in love everyday.
What you're experiencing as, "She must want to be with me," it's just how I care for everybody.
It's just how I'm considerate about all human beings.
The chase is, I think a really beautiful thing as long as it doesn't slide over into the
area of abusive.
It's pretty straightforward.
I tried to be literal on that one, just so nobody got it confused.
But, yeah I'm inviting and then I'm saying, "Just let me know."
"Be communicative."
I guess you'd be hearing an eyeroll.
If you could hear an eyeroll, you'd be listening to the sound of an eyeroll.
That's essentially what I'm saying in that line.
I wrote this with my friend Asma, who is one half of Nguzunguzu.
She's an incredible producer and DJ.
I was like, “I need to evoke the girls!"
"I need to make it clear that I don't need you."
"I only need them.”
I saw you look at me and I know you want it.
Let's not front.
You've expressed interest without expressing interest. I saw you.
Let's stop.
Let's cut to the chase.
I would say the ones that I'm attracted to are the guys who are not doing the most.
If you're doing the least, I want you the most.
I'm trying to keep this as casual as he is, but I'm also not trying to feel disrespected.
What I'm trying to articulate also is that there's a place. We can exist in this place.
This abstract sort of casual place in a healthy way.
