Inhale like it's oxygen
Exhale, tiger lily on her moccasins
I'm just tryna ask you why you think that you're my proxy
And you can run around
And pull the strings until I stop again (x2)

Think you were my leader?
Park, don't pay the meter
I'm a no way no how chick for a cheater
If you got some little problems
I suggest you solve them
I tune out when you criticize about all the involvement
I get in my car then I drive away
Then you're tryna race me all up on the freeway
Two girls in the back seat, that's a threeway
I don't wanna talk about it
My phone ain't prepaid
Doing what we want to, hanging out the window
Full tank, looking like who knows what we'll run into
Shaking up the toys in the gum dispensers
Every day's a struggle, every night's adventure
Let's go back to basics, let's forget the issue
Quit bitchin bout it and using up all the tissues
Let's just smoke some shit and well get some new shoes
I don't go shit to talk and I don't got shit to do
Let's just chill

Inhale like it's oxygen
Exhale, tiger lily on her moccasins
I'm just tryna ask you why you think that you're my proxy
And you can run around
And pull the strings until I stop again (x2)

Kali Uchis

Karly-Marina Loaiza (born July 17, 1994), better known as her stage name Kali Uchis, is a Colombian-American singer, songwriter, record producer, music video director, and fashion designer.

Sporting a 50’s aesthetic (from which Billie Holiday and Ella Fitzgerald are cited influences), Kali’s brand of art pop spans the length of many genres of soul (doo-wop, reggae, funk, quiet storm, psychedelia) with a Latina twist.

Kali grew up playing saxophone and piano; she was introduced to music production and video editing while she was in high school and released her debut project Drunken Babble in 2012. Since then, Kali has gone on to release a 2015 EP, Por Vida, and her debut album, Isolation, in 2018.
