Here, Lil Tecca offers emotional support within a complex relationship. He promises his romantic partner he will help her navigate her "dark thoughts." Tecca co-wrote "Dark Thoughts" with Danish producer Lucas Scharff and French producer Folie's. Tecca's lyrics are emotional and introspective, a contrast to the breezy, bouncy melodies. "Dark Thoughts" samples Pharrell and Jay-Z's 203 single "Frontin'," a song so deeply ingrained in early 2000s culture that just hearing it makes you want to check your AIM away message.

Yeah
Huh
Yeah
Oh
Yeah
Whoa

Know my bitch so bad
You spend your cash on a bitch you never had, yeah
Mama told me, "Boy, it don't last"
So I ain't gon' slide if that shit ain't 'bout a bag, yeah
And my life changed so fast that I don't even recognize myself from last year
Said she never needed no man, but when she with you, said she need somebody else
And I ain't tryna add no pressure for you, I know that they all doin' extra
She got dark thoughts, let me hear some, yeah
Baby, I'll be messed up for you
Said she wanted me to explore her now
Baby, let me get a lil' tour, yeah
And she got dark thoughts, let me hear some now
Baby, I'll be messed up for you

I get dark thoughts too, but I keep 'em
Shawty got a friend group of hoes, so I treesh 'em
All this shit, I keep it on the low, but I peep 'em
Nowadays, I'm stuck up in that mode, don't need a re-up
Bitch, I'm really him, told a nigga, "Keep up"
Always got that cutter on me, let a nigga creep up, yeah
Oh, they need a squad? They need to team up?
Yeah, bitch, I feel like Scotty, got my beam up

Know my bitch so bad
You spend your cash on a bitch you never had, yeah
Mama told me, "Boy, it don't last"
So I ain't gon' slide if that shit ain't 'bout a bag, yeah
And my life changed so fast that I don't even recognize myself from last year
Said she never needed no man, but when she with you, said she need somebody else
And I ain't tryna add no pressure for you, I know that they all doin' extra
She got dark thoughts, let me hear some, yeah
Baby, I'll be messed up for you
Said she wanted me to explore her now
Baby, let me get a lil' tour, yeah
And she got dark thoughts, let me hear some now
Baby, I'll be messed up for you

Know my bitch so bad
You spend your cash on a bitch you never had, yeah
