Put Cream On It

Lyrics

[Verse 1] Shelby pulled up with two suitcases New York rain on her sleeves Renay said, “Babe, drop your bag right here” Like she knew where the new life leads Walked past the bodega lights Past the paint on the front door frame Two girls laughing in a tiny room Trying on a brand-new name [Pre-Chorus] Boxes stacked by the window Shoes by the sink Shelby looked at Renay Like, “Tell me what you think” Renay just smiled Said, “Baby, let it be” Then she leaned in close And told her what she’d need [Chorus] We’re gonna put cream on it Put cream on it Soft like that, clean on it Put cream on it Shelby and Renay Making rent feel sweet We’re gonna put cream on it Put cream on it [Verse 2] Pizza box on the counter Hair tied up by ten Shelby learned the subway map Then lost it all again Renay got the playlist low While they danced in the hall Two friends, one little apartment Trying not to feel too small [Pre-Chorus] City keeps calling Pushing them along Shelby found her rhythm Renay knew all along Fingers on her shoulder Turning rough days smooth When the week got heavy They knew what to do [Chorus] We’re gonna put cream on it Put cream on it Soft like that, clean on it Put cream on it Shelby and Renay Making rent feel sweet We’re gonna put cream on it Put cream on it [Bridge] On the train, on the stairs Through the noise, through the rush They got each other’s backs That’s more than enough One little home In a giant machine And every hard thing Gets better with cream [Chorus] We’re gonna put cream on it Put cream on it Soft like that, clean on it Put cream on it Shelby and Renay Making rent feel sweet We’re gonna put cream on it Put cream on it
