[Verse 1]
The meantime, fuck in the meantime
I need you, but just tonight boy
You look to me but don't turn the lights on
(Don't turn the lights on)
I feel good, you fucking me good
I need that fix before the next guy
But in the meantime, fuck in the meantime
You'll never leave me lonely

[Pre-Chorus]
Late night, late night, I
Late night on a week day, oh yeah
Late night, late night, I
Late night on a week day, oh yeah

[Chorus]
Riding 'round town smoking loud with my windows down ho
Smoking loud, smoking loud, loud
Riding 'round town smoking loud with my windows down ho
Smoking loud, smoking loud, loud

[Verse 2]
The meantime, fuck in the meantime
I need you, but just tonight boy
You look to me but don't turn the lights on
(Don't turn the lights on)
I need that, you fuckin' know I do
I need that, I'mma have to show you boy
I'm 'bout to feed you, a part of me right now
You just can't keep me baby

[Pre-Chorus] + [Chorus] (x2)

Tinashe

Tinashe Jorgenson Kachingwe, known mononymously as Tinashe, is an American singer-songwriter, actress, dancer, and former model born in Lexington, Kentucky and raised in Los Angeles, California.

Born on February 6, 1993, her rise to fame began with her acting on shows such as Two and a Half Men. Initially making her debut in the music industry via the short-lived girl group The Stunners—which also featured Hayley Kiyoko—she garnered attention from online music blogs with her 2012 mixtape, In Case We Die. Signing with RCA Records shortly after, she released two further mixtapes later that year and in 2013: Reverie and Black Water respectively. “2 On” was released in January 2014 as the lead single from her debut album, Aquarius, and remains her biggest solo single to date. Released in October that year, the album was praised by critics for its merging of old-school R&B sounds and fresh 2010s trends. The follow-up was subjected to much-criticised although “Player” was billed as the collection’s lead single as early as October 2015, songs released from the project failed to reach the label’s expectations, resulting in the release of an album’s worth of outtakes from the album, Nightride, in November 2016. Joyride was finally released on April 13: it features the singles “No Drama”, “Faded Love” and “Me So Bad”.

On February 18, 2019, Tinashe parted ways with her longtime record label RCA. By November that year, she inked a new management deal with Roc Nation and self-released Songs for You, her fourth studio album.
