Out Of Character

Slick, Rnb meets pop, 808 muted drums Atmospheric, rhythm guitar Male raspy voice

Verse 1)
I’m usually posted on the block, eyes on the prize
Cold-hearted, focused, I don’t do the social ties
Body armor on my soul, yeah, I’m built for the war
But then you walked in and I’m dropping my guard on the floor
I’m missing calls from the crew, I’m blowing off the play
Just to hear you tell me 'bout the little things in your day
Used to be about the hustle, now I’m checking on your heart
You’re the only one I let see the man behind the dark.
(Chorus)
Girl, you got me acting out of character, acting out of line
I’m usually the one who’s leaving, now I’m begging for your time
I went from moving silent to screaming out your name
You got the coldest soul in the city feeling strange
I’m soft for you, I’m weak for you, it’s messing with my pride
But girl, you got me acting out of character, and I’m down for the ride.
(Verse 2)
My boys see me smiling at the phone, they think I’m soft
But they don’t know the way you keep me from going off
I’m trading late nights in the trap for dinner dates at eight
Buying flowers by the bundle, girl, I can’t even wait
I’m usually the one they fear, the one they never touch
But when you look at me like that, I’m feeling way too much
I’m checking in, I’m texting "good morning" and "goodnight"
If the streets could see me now, they wouldn’t recognize the sight.
(Bridge)
They say love is for the weak, but I’m the strongest I’ve been
Since you became my peace, since you became my win
I’ll put the chrome away, I’ll give the world to you
‘Cause being "real" don’t mean a thing if I ain't got you too.
(Chorus)
Girl, you got me acting out of character, acting out of line
I’m usually the one who’s leaving, now I’m begging for your time
I went from moving silent to screaming out your name
You got the coldest soul in the city feeling strange
I’m soft for you, I’m weak for you, it’s messing with my pride
But girl, you got me acting out of character, and I’m down for the ride.
(Outro)
Yeah, they don’t know the half of it
Got a real one in his feelings, imagine that
Out of character... but it feels right
Just stay with me tonight.
