[Chorus]
Know you wanna play 'round
Well, baby, I'm on the playground
Hop on up, get on down
And wiggle that thing that's so round

[Verse 1]
Somethin' in the way you treat me like you do
Two can play the game when it feels so right next to you
And we can leave up out of here, bring your body here
Two can feel the same on nights where love is the plan

[Chorus]
Know you wanna play 'round
Well, baby, I'm on the playground
Hop on up, get on down
And wiggle that thing that's so round
Know you wanna play 'round
Well, baby, I'm on the playground
Hop on up, get on down
And wiggle that thing that's so round

[Verse 2]
Remember all the days you left me by the phone
You love to hesitate, now you are the second place
You must have saw me out holdin' hands with someone else
Baby blink without a doubt, I see the signs you keep givin' me

[Bridge]
Yeah, shake on, shake it down like what
Shake on, shake it down, that bridge
Shake on, shake it down like what
Shake on, shake it down, that bridge

[Outro]
Sometimes people say
We just run away
But we keep comin' back
To ya
Our mistakes
Make us great
We shine, you're gold
Know you wanna play 'round

Steve Lacy (born May 23, 1998) is an American singer/songwriter, musician, and producer from Compton, CA. He is slowly building his reputation as a bona-fide prodigy.

Already, he has produced for Kendrick Lamar on 2017’s DAMN. He has worked with J. Cole on “Foldin Clothes,” and is a frequent collaborator with singer-songwriter Kali Uchis. In addition, Lacy has collaborated with Isaiah Rashad, Tyler, The Creator, Blood Orange, Big Sean, Ravyn Lenae, and contributed to Jhené Aiko’s collab project, TWENTY88.

However, Lacy is probably best known for his work as a guitarist, producer, and vocalist for neo-soul group The Internet. Following his introduction to the band during the conception of the Grammy-Nominated Ego Death, Lacy has become influential in the band’s sonic growth. His signature detached, clanking drum beats and slick, soulful Southern-California guitar riffs lend a retrospective yet modern sound to his and the band’s production. In February 2017, he released his first original collection of songs – the six-track “song series” humbly entitled Steve Lacy’s Demo. He and The Internet released Hive Mind in July 2018 as a follow-up to 2015’s Ego Death. In May of 2019, he released his ambitious debut, Apollo XXI – his first full-length, studio solo album.
