Midnight Cool

rap, Moody phonk bounce blended with silky R&B chords and a laid-back rap pocket; filtered intro sample, swung hats, and deep sub-bass. Male vocals split between melodic hooks and low-key verses, with airy harmonies and subtle reverse effects swelling into each chorus; final hook rides out on looped vocal chops and a slow fade.

Lyrics

[Intro]
Cruisin' slow
Windows low
Cold air
Warm glow

[Verse 1]
Got that scar on my hand from the summer I snapped
Told myself “never go back” but I lapped
Circle my block like I’m testin’ the night
Heart on my sleeve, but I’m dressin’ in ice
Phone on mute, but her name still flash
Old text thread like a grave of the past
Steerin’ with a knee while I’m changin’ my mind
All this cool talk, but I’m burnin’ inside (yeah)

[Chorus]
I’m too cool to call you
But too warm to let you go
Got this midnight attitude
Actin’ like I’m in control
You say I’m cold, I say I’m calm
Still your name sittin’ in my palm
I’m too cool to call you
But you know I’m comin’ home

[Verse 2]
You like “boy, you a vibe and a problem at once”
Kiss on my neck, then you call out my fronts
Say I play games like I’m hidin’ the scores
Keys on the counter but my shoes by the door
You know the act, yeah, the lean, yeah, the grin (uh)
Hard on the surface, I’m soft in the chin
Every good night turn to “why you like this?”
Every goodbye taste sweet like a risk (woah)

[Chorus]
I’m too cool to call you
But too warm to let you go
Got this midnight attitude
Actin’ like I’m in control
You say I’m cold, I say I’m calm
Still your name sittin’ in my palm
I’m too cool to call you
But you know I’m comin’ home (hey)

[Bridge]
Frontin’ like I’m ice when I’m meltin’ in your hands
Playin’ like I’m solo with your lipstick on my plans
Say I’m on my own, but I’m parked outside
Engine runnin’ while my pride just dies (dies)

[Chorus]
I’m too cool to call you
But too warm to let you go
Got this midnight attitude
Actin’ like I’m in control
You say I’m cold, I say I’m calm
Still your name sittin’ in my palm
I’m too cool to call you
But you know I’m comin’ home
