Egyptian Luvr Lyrics
Love
Love
[Refrain: Dana Williams & Rejjie Snow]
Just let go of sorrow
Like there's no tomorrow
'Cause tonight might be your last
So stay up till sunrise
Wipe the tears from your eyes
Leave it in the past
[Chorus: Dana Williams & Rejjie Snow]
The past, the past, the past, the past
Leave it in the past
The past, the past, the past, the past
Leave it in the past
[Verse 1: Rejjie Snow]
Breakdance and boogie, my love
This is 1971
I crave that brain and that flesh
Cups of tea and gums that bleed red
Say you wrap the plastic in white
Say you single all of my life
Blackest skin, disfigure my crimes
Credit cards and losing my mind
Piece-by-piece, they stitched me
Ain't no love, I'm still banging that Whitney
I can't cry for those who ain't with me
I can't pray so Lord, please forgive me, so
Pink like pussy, extra pushy
Hands up off me, she's so lovely
Fame and fortune, all those habits
Pink and white, them panties matching
I want you to stay forever
I want you to stay forever
I want you to stay forever
I want you to stay forever
[Chorus: Dana Williams & Rejjie Snow]
The past, the past, the past, the past
Leave it in the past
The past, the past, the past, the past
Leave it in the past
[Verse 2: Aminé]
Ring, ring, I'm tryna get my old thing back
But baby always wanna bring up shit from the past
Whoa-oh, our options are limitless
Putting in effort for the effort, it's too effortless
Woo, fuck checks, see the necklace
Gold hit her lips every time that I'm hitting it
Huh, I told her "Baby, I'm sorry
But if you think we got problems then baby, watch Maury"
Yeah, that's why you gotta smell the roses
We parted ways like she cheated with Moses
That's fucked up but a lot of things are
In Hollywood but I never see stars
Do anything for ya, that's love
Go anywhere for ya, that's love
Might even kill for ya, that's love
And if you're still tripping, that's drugs
Just let go of sorrow
Like there's no tomorrow
'Cause tonight might be your last
So stay up till sunrise
Wipe the tears from your eyes
Leave it in the past
[Chorus: Dana Williams & Rejjie Snow]
The past, the past, the past, the past
Leave it in the past
The past, the past, the past, the past
Leave it in the past
[Verse 3: Rejjie Snow]
Extra white, she's so extra white
My appetite, I lost appetite
It's paradise, we in paradise
So extra bright, it's so extra bright, so
I break the beat and I scratch it
She be like handsome, she be like dancing
Straight to my mattress, I was on smashing
I was on abra, she was cadabring
No free smoke when your bae is gone
Why love when it's free and it does no harm?
New phone, who's this? And my life's on charge
Two shows, pay rent, get a girl, get a job
Belly of the beast, when I walk in the streets
All I see is fake love, insecurities
Two months, seven days, oh, when you first came
Walked in, Off-White, all pink, okay
The past, the past, the past, the past
Leave it in the past
The past, the past, the past, the past
Leave it in the past

The song is about your last moments. Tomorrow isn’t promised and we learn this the hard way. In this song, I was in my last moments [of a relationship], telling my girl how much I love her, and thank you for this journey we rode. My album has lots of different feelings: I wanted it to feel like you’re slowing dying and losing your mind throughout.
To me, this song was supposed to be a song that I could imagine my parents boogieing to, just like a song that I could envision me making in, like, the ‘70s. So I tried to take that same energy to that new funk, and I just linked up with Kaytranada and made it happen.
Basically, I just had this idea with the song, I had the wrong beat for the song, so I had to kinda text Kaytranada. He sent the beat pack through. This particular beat had a different name at the time, and I just remember it immediately capturing me and taking me to that place that I needed to go to. As soon as I knew the idea for the track, I just said, “Yeah, let’s go. Let’s put it on my album,.” I did my verse, and then we were gonna get Young Thug on the verse, where Aminé is, but he couldn’t do it, unfortunately. Aminé blessed it.
I was in such a good space around this time of the track. This was like the last song of the album. It’s good to have this as a single, but it’s also the song that kinda made everything make sense for me.
