WILSHIRE Lyrics by Tyler The Creator
Met you on a Saturday, knew it was something soon as you spoke it
Eye fucking across the table, don’t think anybody noticed
You asked me if I was coming to city you from
Maybe we should kick it, I was interested, that would be dumb, if I denied
Long legs, good ears, great taste
Smell good, sense of humor, obvious a good face, and we clicked
We was at each other’s hips, I ain’t even wanna fuck
‘Cause your presence was enough, you and I make sense
You stayed back at my telly
We was chatting till morning, vibration was heavy
I wasn’t drowning or yawning, that’s when I told you my feelings
You told me you felt the same, but you got homie you dealing with
Damn, I didn’t know
That’s a bit unexpected, but I get it
It’s whatever, least I can do is respect it
We still gone kick it and check in like nothing could ever stop it
The problem is he’s my friend
But if I’m honest, I’m really hoping you drop him
It’s morals I really have, it’s lines I could never cross
But you got something that make all them good intentions get lost
I try to keep it together, never felt this way
We spent ’bout two weeks together, only skipped one day
And they say “bros over hoes,” I’m like hmm nah hey
I would rather hold your hand than have a cool handshake
But whatever, we still could be friends
It still could be chance
I’ma play it cool
We got something we cannot pretend
FaceTiming, it ain’t ’bout nothing
You laughing, packing your luggage
It’s nothing incriminating, but please delete our discussions
You hit me with the look and replied like, “Duh, bitch”
Don’t want your man to think that we’re creeping behind his back
Cross the line, cross the line, cross the– nah, we never did that
Although I haven’t seen him in months, shit is rare he never hit back
Anyway, convince him to bring you to me so we can kick it
Right in front of his lenses, since nothing here is malicious
You sat by me in that movie, we went outside for them doobies
We walking off when we talk, man, that n**** not fucking stupid
He see it, he know it’s something
We fronting like ha-ha-ha
Whenever we ha-ha-ha, we subtly press his buttons
Not on purpose, but man I found my purpose
If I fucked our friendship up for you, I think it’s worth it
But, nah, I can’t do that, that n**** don’t deserve it
And plus y’all got depth
I’m just a n**** on the surface
Didn’t see you a couple weeks, think he want you away from me
Know y’all argued ’bout if you mad, you met him before you met me
I feel guilty, but not as much as I should
I tried to have that self-control, but not as much as I could
I been down for days, you’re in my city and I can’t see your face
I can’t eat, knowing you with him and not at my place
I never been jealous of another man
Especially when I have everything I want at hand
Except you
He left for some days, I cleared out my sched, I cleared out my head
You dropped off at mines, I say that we fled
No, you pick a place
We could Tulum, or we could Capri
Or die right here
As long as you with me I’ll be at peace
You was supposed to go back home to see your bestie
I told you I can’t hit that zone, too busy next week
You was like, “Hmm, I’ll stay a week, she’ll get over that”
Seven days wit me, your n**** like, “Where the fuck you at?”
Dirtying my baking pots, tennis at my momma spot
Chauffeured in the Rolls, the back entrance at them restaurants
Parks playing chess games, giving wigs pet names
Manicures, night swims, Jerrod providing methane
Shopping till we dropping, what you copping?
See, the price is not an option
It’s investments ’cause your smile is the profit to me
I know around him you gotta act like you’re not into me
I know the answer, but you gotta keep it honest with me
Said you can’t fully be into me ’cause you with him
Then why the fuck when we link it’s like he doesn’t exist?
They all know that we’re friends, but we’re both aware that it’s more
Everything I got, if you say the word, then it’s yours
The only thing I’m missing in life, I know you could be it
And everyone around me that care about me can see it
I could fuck a trillion bitches, every country I done been in
Men or women, it don’t matter, if I seen ’em, then I had ’em
But with you, it’s a feeling ’cause we’re twinning and we’re matching
You stayed in the car when I went on date with that actress
Whole time I’m eating, I couldn’t wait to get back
In the back of the car with you and talk about who we are, you
Told me when you with me it’s like heroin
Told me that your confidence went up since we befriended, and
Told me that you didn’t wanna hurt him, why we doing this?
Told me this a awkward situation and you just wanna be through with it
Told me every time you not with him it started problems
Told me every time you not with me you always ponder
What kinda sweater I’m wearing, what music have I been finding
Girl, you know that I’ma play it whenever, that’s what we bonded over
You said you told him the truth and you never lied
Now he looking at you with them eyes
We never crossed the line, but he got every right to be a little pissed off
He picked you up, y’all got in argument, he got his shit off
My energy like “get lost,” your energy just want peace
I couldn’t even tell you his energy, ’cause he don’t speak
He ain’t even call you his bitch until he see me make you smile
That n**** threatened as shit
I’m in the wrong tho
I picked you up, your energy off
Your lips really dry, something is off
You asked if I gotta, I asked if you gotta
We tripping our words, nobody is lying
Hakuna matata
We sat in the car and cried for a hour
My shirt look like a showerhead got it
We called it off
I’ll skip the details, but that night I seen hell
You was in a room I was paying for, I took 3 Ls
I didn’t sleep well, woke up and my knees fell
They buckled to the ground, I cannot walk
Shit, I need Vill
Next day I’m driving ’round the city with no destination back up
Water in my eyes kept falling like Niagra
Vill right beside me making sure I didn’t crash or
Do something heinous ’cause I’m emotionally jabbed up
You checked every box, thought it was it
Felt like I got led on and pushed off a cliff
No, I’m in the wrong, that was a friend
No, fuck that, the energy we had, never again will find it
You’re in the wrong, gotta remind you ’bout the times that you stepped
Gotta rewind it
Talking ’bout our kinks, real cautious with the links
You don’t do that type of shit when you’re in relationship
And you’re 100 with your mate
So don’t go acting like no saint
This a two way street, and, shit, you knew what I was on
And while that n**** out and gone, you was lounging in my home
Shit, I even let you meet my momma and y’all got along
But, shit, I’ll take my L, though it’s not fun
You still got yo n**** and still had yo fun
Shit, I can’t even look at you and think about bad words
That’s why I called and said we couldn’t end this on bad terms
We straight like a bad perm, we’ll always be good friends
And laugh about it on a sandy beach while our back burns
This my perspective, this how I feel
I ain’t fabricate nothing, I kept it real
I told you I loved you and always will
And if he ever put his hands on you, promise I’ll get him killed, true
