*Lyrics*
[Verse 1]
We drivinʼ on the west side
9545 you ask “should we light up?”
I say alright that would be delightful
I think I like you, kinda enticing
So... you wanna know what itʼs looking like and
Thatʼs justified cause it’s been some time
But I donʼt know, no, I donʼt know
See Iʼm hella hip this time
Ainʼt going down with no ship this time
Cut the bullshit this time
Crazy how some lips could just kiss me blind
No no, not this time
See Iʼm hella hip this time
Ainʼt going down with no ship this time
Cut the bullshit this time
Crazy how some lips could just kiss me blind
No no, not this time
[Chorus]
Donʼt play me like a fiddle
Keep another love with me up in the middle
No, stay tru like a true one do
Donʼt play me like a fiddle Iʼm a clever one
Iʼm up on all your riddles
No, stay tru like a true one do
[Verse 2]
Iʼm sick and tired of the compromising
Iʼd rather sleep with no one beside me
Than with a ghost with a heart that froze
Donʼt get it twisted or Iʼll have to dip
Itʼs imperative that you donʼt forget
Just who it is that you playing with
See Iʼm hella hip this time (hip)
Ainʼt going down with no ship this time (up now yea)
Cut the bullshit this time (cut it)
Crazy how some lips could just kiss me blind
No no, not this time
See Iʼm hella hip this time (hip)
Ainʼt going down with no ship this time (no, no)
Cut the bullshit this time (cut it)
Crazy how some lips could just kiss me blind
No no, not this time
[Chorus]
Donʼt play me like a fiddle
Keep another love with me up in the middle
No, stay tru like a true one do
Donʼt play me like a fiddle Iʼm a clever one
Iʼm up on all your riddles
No, stay tru like a true one do
[Outro]
See Iʼm hella hip this time (hip)
Ainʼt going down with no ship this time (no, no)
Please just cut the bullshit
I think it's 9:45... You never hear the other 5.

I love the song Black truck off her album and the video is dope.

Amen TO THIS
I still wonder how you perfectly choose the background colors every time.
✨
Every time
@@COLORSxSTUDIOS you should make playlists of each relative color. I want more greens!
leandro aragona dude fr though
Has to be based on the outfit the artists arrive to the session in 😉
Her unstyled afro is so beautiful. Media is flooded with manipulated fros (which are gorgeous), and makes me forget that my fro is beautiful in its natural state
Omg Black women are so beautiful🖤🖤🙏🙏👑👑

I played this song for my baby when she was really upset, crying loudly and she stopped and just watched and stayed calm after it went off ❤
She has a good flow. Music is superb ans she is so beautiful with her fro. Love it !!!
Her visuals for these songs are mesmerizing as well.
Imagine if they performed Sandstorm with J.I.D together 🤯
Spotify brought me here 😁😁😁😁😁 what a song ....what a song !!!!!!!
Wow ! Her voice and the music makes me want to fly , I picturize myself smiling , lying on the clouds , looking down on flower beds . The song makes me want to believe that the world is a wonderful place !
Thank you colors for introducing Mereba to me

I love how therapeutic her voice is. Her composure on the mic and the emotion she puts into her songs is really incredible.
I really love Mereba it ain't nothing like when it comes to Mereba.
This was the perfect reminder that self love is more important .

The way she delivers the "No, no not this time" is soo GOOD
Thank you random dude walking the streets of New York for the recommendation.

Stunning.
Her voice is so calming and warm, she also flows with the beat perfectly.
Man she is so good. I love her voice❣✌🏽
The crew at colors always picks the right backdrop color that represents the essence of the songs.

I WAS PRAYING SHE WOULD CHOOSE THIS SONG
I LOVE IT SO MUCH
That mic is something different! The way it picks up her voice and ad libs is crazy
Mereba Deserves This Recognition!!! SO underrated 🔥🔥😍
Soo smoooth but still got a sick rythm...just love how COLORS keep it colorfull;)
I can't stop listening to this, you're big Mereba ♥
this is coming from a special place. recognize that place in you.
You can't listen to this and abuse women YOU JUST CAN'T! I love Mereba 🌿
If we put her amazing music, her wonderful voice and her beauty aside - can we also appreciate the clean silhouette of her outfit
You know a song is hitting when it has as many likes as this particular song has and the very few amount of dislikes in comparison! Very nice song! I definitely will be on the lookout for her music!
COLORS is the place to be in TH-cam... no doubt at all
She's a breath of musical fresh air.
She is just mesmerizing! The talent, the beauty, the grace! Absolute BLACK GIRL MAGIC!
She's so chill.
From first seeing her on this Colours show to singing every lyric with her at In The City in South Africa over the past weekend is wild. Mereba really is deity level good.
Mannnn I’n still so happy Mereba was featured here. She deserves so much fame. Her music is perfection.
She's a vibe ✊ Glad I was able to know another new great artist today! Thanks COLORS 🙆
Its a sublime medicine song
When I first listened to stay Tru I teared up, when I listened to black truck I felt so hyped up, when I listened to Souvenir I felt an otherworldly calm. I have never seen any other artist do that before and that’s why she’s a blessing to music
Found this artist from the youtuber who goes around asking " what song are you listening to " . I felt in love with with Mereba voice . Love her voice and songs.
Same
Same here
I love you Mereba!!!!!!!!!!!!
the entire songs vibe is like a group hug... love this song
That mint backdrop is perfect for her.
Sister is awesome love,love this song.
Hearing her on J.I.D's track awhile back had me in awe and same with this performance
her voice is so beautiful..
this the smoothest song i ever heard in my life
Hearing this live first before actually hearing the studio version had me obsessed with hearing this when the project officially dropped 🌻
Thanks for making me feel so alive. Right to the soul. #OnRepeat ❤️
Definitely a special voice. I love it ❤️
This song soothes my soul...I come back to this video when I feel a way. Thank you Mereba and COLORS!
