[Intro]
Cut the lights, close the blinds
Cut the lights, close the blinds
How peculiar? (Haha)
How peculiar?
Cut the lights off

[Hook]
How peculiar? It's as if the whole world isn’t moving
Are you thinking what I'm thinking?
Is it me? Nigga nah
How peculiar? It's as if the whole world isn’t moving
Are you feeling what I'm feeling
Is it serious? Nigga nah, nah

[Bridge]
You can't be serious, nigga (How peculiar?)
You can't be serious, nigga (How peculiar?)
You can't be serious, nigga (How peculiar?)
You can't be serious, nigga (How peculiar?)
You can't be serious, nigga (How peculiar?)

[Verse]
Yeah, I love her hair, I love her flavor
She just waiting on a nigga to save her
She was waiting on a nigga to chase her
And when my niggas not around, I probably will face her
She look so small and mouth so loud
She stuck sometimes, but that's her style
And whenever I’m in another nigga town I browse and look around til that pretty bitch found
Cali girl, she came from the Westside (the Westside, the Westside)
And I’m from the Eastside like Reggie Brown
And all I smoke is the medical
And all I smoke is the medical
Let a fool drink, let a fool smoke
Let 'em do shrooms, let ’em do coke
Niggas on pills, birds got gills
Fish got wings, snakes on feet
Everybody say, everybody say "cut your fucking grass"
'cause everybody say
(Aye y'all niggas ain't high like me)

[Hook]
How peculiar? It’s as if the whole world isn't moving
Are you thinking what I'm thinking?
Is it me? Is he serious? Nigga nah
How peculiar? It's as if the whole world isn't moving
Are you thinking what I'm thinking?
Is it me? Is he serious? Nigga nah, nah

[Outro]
My verses are impetuous, my rhymes impregnable
I want to eat your children
"—eat your children"

Destin Choice Route (b. October 31, 1990), better known by the stage name J.I.D, is an American rapper from Zone 6, Atlanta, Georgia. He describes himself as “a soft-spoken but intricate lyricist with a cocky side.” His stage name originates from “jittery,” his grandmother’s nickname for him due to his sporadic behavior as a child.

J.I.D began attending Hampton University on a football scholarship in the fall of 2008. At that time, he was nicknamed ‘Jidd’ and released music under multiple variations of that name. His first mixtape, CakeWalk, was released in May 2010 and featured a number of friends from Hampton. The tape also marked two of his earliest collaborations with EARTHGANG. He released his second mixtape, CakeWalk 2, in June 2011. J.I.D was expelled from Hampton at some point during his senior year. Route of Evil was released in June 2012 as J.I.D’s third mixtape. DJ Tay James, Justin Bieber’s official DJ, hosted each of these three mixtapes. J.I.D does not publicly acknowledge any of these tapes, and they are not easily discoverable on the internet.

In October 2013, J.I.D released Para Tu, his fourth mixtape. Around this time, he also officially created the Spillage Village collective with EARTHGANG, Hollywood JB, and JordxnBryant. J.I.D re-released Para Tu on SoundCloud in December 2017 after fans had discovered it and were posting it online.
