Right Now

[Intro] And a din da [2x] Uh, and a din da [Verse 1] Yo, I know you heard that last joint and thought, "This guy's always on one" Like get the smallest violin and play that sad song, son" That ain't the case for me though, so cut the instrumentation Most of the time I live life like it's a celebration Yeah, I'm riding solo, but forget it, that's more cash for me At this party Politic, it's where I'd rather be First year joint, new college, new people And something's strong in my system But it ain't too lethal Life's taking effect But it's beyond that Let's just say, you won't need a number thrown at you to catch a contact Electricity surges, something about tonight feels special As I dance to the sound Then I turn right around That's when she caught my retinals I noticed her looking back at me and time slows down To register this moment as my mind goes "Wow! Did you see her?" Yeah, now I've got an infatuation And thoughts of staying single have started evacuatin' I turned away a few seconds after our eyes locked like magnets Started talking to a friend to act like I'm not attracted As I tell myself, "Don't even start to get that happy "It's dark up in here How do I know if she was really looking back at me?" [Chorus 1] Don't give me that, this is a moment that you need to own Go over there right now and make your presence known The past is the past, but the future's what you make it If you even think you've got a chance, you better take it right now Uh, you got a chance, you better take it Hey, don't forsake it Go over there right now Uh, you got a chance, you better take it Hey, don't forsake it, so... [Verse 2] I didn't take it, wasted the opportunity We saw each others' faces and that was the proper cue for me To at least go over there and start the conversation Now some other guy's probably got her with no complication So I spent the whole weekend thinking how I played the fool Already sorry 'fore the first day at school So, Monday morning I go to my first class and see what it has to offer me Teacher breaks down the quotes As I take down the notes But guess who's sitting across from me? It has to be that beautiful girl from Friday night And automatically I'm reminded of my stage fright And she's looking back at me and it's in broad daylight No excuses, use this opportunity to say hi I make a small wave, flash a smile She does the same, it's a quick connection It all took place in what felt like a millisecond But it's still a possibility that something between us could happen Then I tell myself, "Man, that was a pitiful interaction She could be just being nice while you have a physical attraction" "She don't know you from Adam So dial it back some Man, quit jumping to thoughts of passion" I'm like, "Yeah, you're right, I'll just catch her after class then I will, I swear" [Chorus 2] Don't give me that, this is a moment that you need to own Go over there right now and make your presence known The past is the past, but the future's what you make it If you even think you've got a chance, you better take it right now Uh, you got a chance, you better take it Hey, don't forsake it Go over there right now Yeah, you got a chance, you better take it Hey, don't forsake it Go over there right now Uh, you got a chance, you better take it Hey, don't forsake it Go over there right now Yeah, you got a chance, you better take it Hey, don't forsake it Go over there right now
