about

Comprised of producer narou, braggadocious Cali rapper Mike Nasa and sweeter-than-sweet vocalist Kijana,at the crib. serve Smino / No Name vibes while tapping into something we all know too well - being assigned to the dreaded friendzone.

"40ITFZ” is a way for us to re-examine deeper social constructs like consent, perceived ownership and control over others while making a bop about getting curved” - Mike Nasa

”I really challenged myself to create a song with as little elements as possible. A vibey guitar riff and a simple baseline leave enough space for our voices to shine. I love how each of us has our own little moment and how we all come together in the end” - narou

“This track is not necessarily just about romantic relationships. It’s about being labeled ‘too much’ or ‘too little’ by the outside world. Friends, family, society, your lover, (fill in the blank).
You’re too intense. Too demanding. Too quiet. Never the right amount of something.
Eventually, you then feel like you have to adjust your pace to fulfill a certain role. Slowly but surely, you get so used to that watered-down version of yourself, and you finally queue into that lane another person and/or the outside world is assigning you to. In the end, you just feel depleted.” - Kijana

For fans of: being at home, friendzoners, Smino, Anderson.Paak, Free Nationals

lyrics

40 in the friendzone

Could’ve said I love you but I rather pay
We don’t have to keep havin to conversate
Whatchu Tryna say
Got me faded
Took about a month to get this reservation
Now I couldnt stomach tryna get aquainted
What you tryna say, got me jaded

So go and turn me down
I’ll take it all
Just say the word
We can take it slow
I’ll take you home
I’m signing off

(Chorus 2x)
Pass me that bowl
I’m driving 40 in my zone
Pass me that bowl
Bitch I want my license back

Bitch I want my license
I’m drunk and drivin
Kinda crazy how the night went
That’s so surprising
Ooh we pulled up at the crib
Damn that’s perfect timing
Let me work you from behind
While you dutty winin
I’m in
a different mood what you finna do
(Ooh)
She say, “you no beat” like an interlude
In a second then I’m gone that’s a finished move
Ay she caught me out the zone
Tryna give it to her
(Fuck)

(Chorus 2x)
Pass me that bowl
I’m driving 40 in my zone
Pass me that bowl
Bitch I want my license back

You tellin me no
You sat here in front of me
Frontin like you really wanted me tho
I’m shutting the door
I’m cutting you off
I’m lettin you know
You don’t really fuck with me
Trust me you’ll love me
Im gonna be ghost

(Chorus 2x)
Pass me that bowl
I’m driving 40 in my zone
Pass me that bowl
Bitch I want my license back
