2 L8 Lyrics
(Intro)
Ooh, na, ah, ayy, yeah
(Chorus)
‘Cause it’s too late, baby, now it’s too late
But we really did try to make it
Somethin’ inside has died and I can’t hide and I just can’t fake it
Yeah, hide and I just can’t fake it
(Verse 1)
Bet you’re well-rested
How you gon’ hide depression?
Doing nothin’ tells somethin’
Can you not fuck up one thing?
You know I’m callin’
You’re pickin’ a fight I’m stallin’
Saw you didn’t reach out this mornin’
Can you not fuck up one thing?
Hey, ayy, you were too busy for us, us
Hey, you roll too spicy for my lungs
(Chorus)
‘Cause it’s too late, baby, now it’s too late
But we really did try to make it
Somethin’ inside has died and I can’t hidе and I just can’t fake it
Yeah, hide and I just can’t fakе it
(Verse 2)
Under him, once again, overthinkin’ things
Love him, but a real nigga never leave you wonderin’
Quarantine, we spent the summers in
Some candy, some Xans, those placebos
Darlin’, is that a knife colored on your vans?
You cut me open, cut me deep, you got my lung in hand
And for my sanity, I’ll never fall in love again
I changed your name to “Don’t pick up the fuckin’ phone again”
(Chorus)
‘Cause it’s too late, baby, now it’s too late
But we really did try to make it
‘Cause it’s too late, baby, now it’s too late
But we really did try to make it
‘Cause it’s too late, baby, now it’s too late
But we really did try to make it
Somethin’ inside has died and I can’t hide and I just can’t fake it
Yeah, hide and I just can’t fake it
(Outro)
Ooh, ooh, ooh
On everything, I know
On everything, I know
About “2 L8”
“2 L8” is the eighth track from American singer/rapper Fousheé’s 2021 “time machine” EP. The song was written by Carole King, Toni Stern, Ron Gilmore, Malay, and Fousheé. It was produced by Fousheé, Malay, and Ron Gilmore. “2 L8” was released on June 4, 2021 through Trackmasters Entertainment, RCA Records & Sony Music Entertainment.
“2 L8” is a heartfelt song about a relationship that has reached its breaking point. The lyrics reflect on failed attempts to salvage the connection, highlighting feelings of disappointment and unresolved issues. The chorus poignantly captures the sentiment of it being too late to fix things.
Fousheé honors Carole King in this track by directly interpolating the chorus from King’s 1971 classic “It’s Too Late” off her album “Tapestry.” Adding her unique touch, Fousheé incorporates a sharp, hazy guitar instrumental alongside raindrop sound effects. She both sings and raps about the struggles of a relationship with a partner who is introverted and uncommunicative.
