Intro

When you do your best you ca-, I done told you
When you do you your best, hell, that’s all you can do
You and me and anybody else
So they always start talkin’
 

Verse 1: SZA

I'm runnin' away from where I'm from
Never can stay with no one
Lovin' you almost feels like somethin'
When no one's around me
You lost and found me
I was surrounded
With open, open, open

Chorus: SZA & Travis Scott

Open arms (Ooh), open arms
You give me open, I'm so devoted
You keep me open (Ooh), open arms
I'm so devoted to you, to you, to you

Verse 2: SZA

Spent your life bein' hopeless
Chokin' on insecurity
I know, oh, this is bad
But, please, put a leash on me anyway
Who needs self-esteem anyway?
I hate myself to make you stay
Push me away, I'll be right here
With open, open, open

Chorus: SZA & Travis Scott

Open arms (Ooh), open arms
You give me open, I'm so devoted
You keep me open (Ooh), open arms
I'm so devoted to you, to you, to you

Verse 3: Travis Scott

No matter what come between us, yeah, I decided
I’m forever ridin’, you’re forever guidin’
Pull up on an opp, hit his curve up, slidin'
Notice when you mad, ain’t no words just silence
You my favorite color, now you seein’ every shade of me
You say that I'm trippin', I hit back like, "Where you takin' me?"
Locked in for life, on God, no replacin’ me
Consequences, repercussions, karma keep on changin' me
For you I trust, face card, valid ID
C’est la vie, go to Paris, it ain't five-star, it ain't me
Over-solid, keep it concrete, I'ma bet it on your whole fee
Just don't switch sides, I could buy a piece, your wrist AP
Through the ups and downs and all the heat
Take a turn and tell you what it be
Backshots make you feel relief, anythin', just don't you ever leave

Outro: SZA & Travis Scott

I guess I gotta go
I guess it's time to go
I gotta let you go
(I'm so devoted)
You Keep Me Open
Gotta let you go, gotta let you go
I gotta let you go, I must
You're the only one that's holdin' me down 
You're the only one holdin' me down 
'Cause I'm the only one that's holdin' me
Down
