Lately Lyrics by Eli Derby

Left on Read

2022

[Intro: Eli Derby]
This sound like [?] Rhondo
Mhm

[Chorus: Eli Derby]
Who's that on your line, love? (Yeah)
Heard you got a new best friend
Spendin' hella time lately
I'm not the only one that you invest in (Ooh)
Why you gotta go so soon?
Runnin' only makes things worse
Oh, you've been steps ahead lately
Feels like you got your lines rehearsed

[Verse 1: Eli Derby]
We was on the same wave
Who told you to change things?
I was thought we was gang-gang
Used to slide through with the thing-thing
Fuckin' up your bayang
Turned you to my main (Ooh, oh-yeah)

[Pre-Chorus: Eli Derby]
Yeah, so
They don't got history like we do (Like we do)
Don't got that chemistry like we do (Like we do)
They don't got history like we do
No, oh, oh-oh, no, oh, oh-oh

[Chors: Eli Derby, 6LACK, Both/Eli Derby & 6LACK]
Who's that on your line, love? (Yeah)
Heard you got a new best friend (Ooh, ooh-ooh)
Spendin' hella time lately (Ooh, ooh-ooh)
I'm not the only one that you invest in (Ooh, ooh-ooh)
Why you gotta go so soon?
Runnin' only makes things worse
Oh, you've been steps ahead lately (Yeah-yeah)
Feels like you got your lines rehearsed

[Verse 2: 6LACK]
We had a lot of fun (Yeah, yeah, mm, mm-mm)
But I ain't the only one (Yeah, yeah, mm, mm-mm)
I can never take it personal (Never, no, personal)
Had it worse before
Who that on your line? I don't care (I don't care)
'Cause I make women flock anywhere that I go
But they don't got chemistry like we do
They don't make history like we do (Oh, oh, facts, oh)
He can never be what I am
Best friend, we like fam
He don't check all the boxes I can
Put you in a drop top Benz (Yeah)
Hit it like a stop watch then (Yeah)
Take you for a quick shop, he like top shop
I'm like top notch and
She say, "I'm leavin'" that's cool, girl, I ain't goin' nowhere
'Cause I got nothin' to do, and so much time I could spend
I turn you up like a gem, then leave you trippin' like, "Damn"
I hit that up like a scam, it's all a part of my plan (Yeah, yeah)

[Pre-Chorus: Eli Derby]
Yeah, so
They don't got history like we do (Like we do)
Don't got that chemistry like we do (Like we do)
They don't got history like we do (Oh, oh, oh)
No, oh, oh-oh, no, oh, oh-oh

[Chors: Eli Derby & 6LACK]
Who's that on your line, love? (Yeah) (Who's that on your line, love?)
Heard you got a new best friend (Heard you got a new best friend)
Spendin' hella time lately (Lately, lately)
I'm not the only one that you invest in (Oh-oh)
Why you gotta go so soon? (So soon)
Runnin' only makes things worse
Oh, you've been steps ahead lately (You've been steps ahead lately)
Feels like you got your lines rehearsed

[Outro: Eli Derby]
Feels like you got your lines
Lately
