Uptight
Good god you almost said it
If you stay back you might regret it
It was on the tip of your tongue
It was right under your nose
Good god I finally said it
So I've got to swim 'cause I broke the levee
Speaking up isn't always fun
Especially when you don't belong
But ain't it funny how you thought that I would
Rely on you and cry for you
Read the room
This is on you
This is on you
Good god I'm glad I did it
Though I hate say but I have to admit it
Actions speak louder than words
And this was always my vision
And now you're tongue tied
Uptight
So stretched out
Shook up
You don't know how much you took
Point the finger but you were cooking books
So when the ceiling comes crashing down
This time I won't stick around
Read the room
This was on you
This was on you
Back then I was digging a tomb
But now my roses are now finally in bloom
Read the room
This was on you
This was on you
Listen
Ay ay ay ay ay
Ay ay ay
I don't want
The same old ways
Let's kick it
They won't be waiting in vain
Tongue tied
Uptight
Stretched out
Shook up
You don't know how much you took
You point the finger
But you were cooking books
Uptight
Tongue tied
Stretched out
Shook up
Uptight
Tongue tied
Uptight
Uptight
Uptight
Tongue tied
Stretched out
Shook up
Uptight
Tongue tied
Uptight
Uptight
If you stay back you might regret it
It was on the tip of your tongue
It was right under your nose
Good god I finally said it
So I've got to swim 'cause I broke the levee
Speaking up isn't always fun
Especially when you don't belong
But ain't it funny how you thought that I would
Rely on you and cry for you
Read the room
This is on you
This is on you
Good god I'm glad I did it
Though I hate say but I have to admit it
Actions speak louder than words
And this was always my vision
And now you're tongue tied
Uptight
So stretched out
Shook up
You don't know how much you took
Point the finger but you were cooking books
So when the ceiling comes crashing down
This time I won't stick around
Read the room
This was on you
This was on you
Back then I was digging a tomb
But now my roses are now finally in bloom
Read the room
This was on you
This was on you
Listen
Ay ay ay ay ay
Ay ay ay
I don't want
The same old ways
Let's kick it
They won't be waiting in vain
Tongue tied
Uptight
Stretched out
Shook up
You don't know how much you took
You point the finger
But you were cooking books
Uptight
Tongue tied
Stretched out
Shook up
Uptight
Tongue tied
Uptight
Uptight
Uptight
Tongue tied
Stretched out
Shook up
Uptight
Tongue tied
Uptight
Uptight
