Practice (feat. Saba)

Tomatoes and marigolds, they'll help each other grow
I hope this seat's not taken, I just wanna share the Sun with you
We don't gotta hurry up (hurry up)
You ain't gotta be the one (be the one)
We were just rehearsin' babe, you know this ain't the game

We're talkin' bout practice, talkin' about
We're talkin' bout practice, talkin' about
We're talkin' bout practice, talkin' about
We're talkin' bout practice, talkin' about

We could stop time for the free throw
Got more patience than a tree grow
Got love that feels like a cheat code
No stress, no nothin', heavy
We could stop time for the free throw
Got more patience than a tree grow
Got love that feels like a cheat code
Keepin' this light and easy

It's been a few days and I'm missin' your face
I like the way I sleep wakin' up at your place
I like the way you move, but I never assume
I'm the only one you choose, I get in my moods
I grow green when your friends are new
I want weekdays and weekends too
I like you when it's rainy too
This is not how I usually do
Put me in coach, I'm ready

We're talkin' bout practice (ooh-ah), talkin' about (ooh-ayy)
We're talkin' bout practice (ooh-ah), talkin' about (ooh-ayy)
We're talkin' bout practice (ooh-ah), talkin' about (ooh-ayy)
We're talkin' bout practice (ooh-ah), talkin' about (ooh-ayy)

Yeah, I'ma get it right, I swear (swear)
You were lookin' like my fears
Usually my like fizzles out (out)
I'm not feelin' like myself
I'm not one to bite my tongue
You will get it right, I swear (swear)
I was looking like your fears
Usually your like fizzles out (out)
You're not feeling like yourself
You're not one to bite your tongue
Talkin' 'bout, makes perfect, I'm certain
That shit's dead, closed casket, closed curtains
No person gone have you like birthin'
Earth is different energies exerted
Learned from her, moved on, learned more
Well wishes, still in good rapport
You can't fail, that's until you fall
My only hope is it ends well, we are, yeah

We're talkin' bout practice (ooh-ah), talkin' about (talkin', talkin', oh-ayy)
We're talkin' bout practice (just practice, ooh-ah), talkin' about (ooh, ooh, ooh-ayy)
We're talkin' bout practice (ooh-ah), talkin' about (just practice, ooh-ayy)
We're talkin' bout practice (ooh-ah), talkin' about (ooh-ayy, could settle down?)
We're talkin' bout practice (ooh-ah), talkin' about (ooh-ayy)
We're talkin' bout practice (ooh-ah, you know it's just practice), talkin' about (ooh-ayy, ooh, ooh)
We're talkin' bout practice (ooh-ah), talkin' about (ooh-ayy, ah-ah)
We're talkin' bout practice (ooh-ah), talkin' about (ooh-ayy, could settle down?)

We could stop time for the free throw
Got more patience than a tree grow
Got love that feels like a cheat code
No stress, no nothin', heavy
We could stop time for the free throw
Got more patience than a tree grow
Got love that feels like a cheat code
Keepin' this light and easy
