Steve Lacy has teamed up with SZA for their confessional new duet “is it cool?,” the second single from his upcoming album, Oh yeah? Stream it below.
To open the track, Lacy admits to occasionally being a cheater. Now, though, he really wants to settle down. “I really want [to] commit,” Lacy sings. “Really, really want commitment/ Can’t keep fucking shit up.” Attempting to convince a lover to stay, he implores that “we could die any day” as a reason why they should hook up.
If that sounds like a bit of hypocrisy, Lacy later clarifies he’s trying his best: “I never learned to love properly/ The mind be playing tricks when the heart’s involved/ I proceed to self-sabotage.” In response, SZA shows her understanding with lyrics like, “Can we get naked instead of talking, babe?/ I ain’t trippin’, we both got options, babe.”
