Low Key Lyrics

[Verse 1: Ruby da Cherry]
I got the drip, catch me duckin'
All of these bitches ain't fuckin' me, no
Can't hold a conversation with no one but my cousin
He tell me, "Don't worry, the money is comin'
These bitches is coming"
Yeah
The only question I got now, will I see it before I end up dug in the ground?
Lay low at the bottom of a tulip bed
They know Ruby got a lot of useless thread
Cut me open, let me rest, there ain't nothin' in my chest
A hollow cage that caused my death
I'm hauled away, just pause my breath

[Verse 2: Yung $carecrow]
Woke up dope sick wit' a cut wrist
Lil' bad bitch saying, "Here's a plot twist
When you cut it, you weren't even a little pissed
Just a grin on your face, sayin', 'Watch this'"
Now I'm sittin' back, thinkin', "How sick am I?"
But that went away the moment I got high
I'm saying now, "What it do, who are you?
Get the fuck out my living room
Get the fuck out my mental too
What, bitch? You can't hear when I talk to you?"
Now I'm back to square one, with my hand on the gun
Mama screamin', "Son, don't do it, I love you, don't do it, don't do it, don't do it"
I can't help this feelin'
Don't you see that I need all the prescriptions?
This ain't no livin'
It's only a vision of the vicious cycle that is my addiction

About

The solemn yet introspective “Low Key” takes the listener into the boys' cyclic struggles with addiction and misery for their most sorrowful bars yet. It is track 3 of Now the Moon’s Rising.

Ruby spoke about the track in an interview with XXL in 2017, describing the circumstances they were in when creating the song and holding it as his favourite record made to date:

My favorite record, and the record that means the most to us it “Low Key” because—I’ll just say this—we both fucked up and did something we weren’t supposed to do, and were feeling really bad in the studio and we made this crazy song. I think that’s probably the most vulnerable and the most emotional song we’ve ever made.
