Song Background[]
Similar to Higher, weed is used as a metaphor to compare to love. Aiko emphasizes her desire to rekindle or experience the same relationship once again, and this person has been on her mind for the longest to the point of true feelings. "Take me over, I'm under your control" is used to compare drug influence to being influenced in love.

[Verse 1]
You been on my mind
I been tryna let it go
I been tryna find
Somethin' as incredible
As you and I
But that's a never
No feeling can compare to you
You just gotta let me know
[Hook]
Can I hit it again?
Can I hit it again?
Can I hit it again?
Can I hit it again?
(x2)
(Take me over...
I'm under your control)
[Verse 2]
You stay on the grind
I'm always available
Rollin' in my ride
So I gotta take it slow
You got me so high
Up, up and away we go
Racing to the sky
I'm feeling unfadable
Cuz the vapors
Can save us
And take us
And make us believe
That we are free
We can be free
So can I please
[Hook]
[Verse 3: Vince Staples]
Please don't rain on my parade
The falling from the sky just remind of the days
When you was crying for attention
I ignored it as a phase
Until you couldn't take the tension
Now I wish you would have stayed
Walking through the smoke and mirrors, I'm burdened, you burning bridges
Memories fading faded it help you not to remember
The trials and tribulations, eyes red from crying
The perfect way to disguise it you was blinded by our fate
Please don't rain on my parade because this float was built for you
Kinda hard to chase you down when you floating through the room
All you wanted was the truth and all I wanted was my way
Regardless how I word the phrase all you hear me say is
[Hook]
