Act Right by KariSama - Zona

Lyrics

Verse 1

You love to play God with my time (yeah)

One wrong move, now I’m doing a crime (damn)

Say I gotta earn what was mine (what?)

Kiss your ass just to feel alright

Hot and cold every damn night (every night)

Say you love me, then you pick a fight (why?)

You don’t want love, you want control (control)

Want a king but you want the throne (nah)

⸻

Pre-Chorus

You said, “If you act right, you can stay with me” (stay with me?)

Like I’m some stray begging for loyalty (hell nah)

I was blinded by the way you move (yeah)

Didn’t see the cage, I just saw you (saw you)

⸻

Chorus (Big + Repeatable)

If I act right, I can stay the night (stay the night)

Jump when you say, don’t you bark, don’t bite (woof? nah)

Love shouldn’t feel like I’m on a leash (on a leash)

Fuck that shit, I’m not your pet to keep (never that)

If I act right, I get paradise (paradise)

One wrong word and you cut like ice (so cold)

I was hooked on the way you ride (goddamn)

But peace feels better than your control inside (inside)

(Repeat with stacked vocals + “act right… act right…” in background)

⸻

Verse 2

That’s not love, that’s control wrapped in attachment (facts)

Toxic as hell but you call it passion (mm)

You don’t want equal, you want advantage (I see it)

Break me down just to feel established (yeah)

All that fire in your touch (that fire)

Had me thinking it was love and such (so blind)

But every time I choose myself (myself)

You turn into somebody else (switch up)

⸻

Bridge (Strip it down → build)

Yeah I loved how you said my name (say my name)

In the dark when you’d go insane (insane)

But love don’t come with conditions (nope)

And I’m done asking your permission (done)

You don’t get to train my heart (nah)

You don’t get to tear it apart (no more)

I’d rather be alone tonight (alone)

Than stay somewhere I gotta “act right” (fuck that)

⸻

Final Chorus (Anthem Energy)

If I act right, I can stay the night (stay the night)

But I’m done living for your green light (green light)

I ain’t a dog you can discipline (never)

I’m a grown man, I don’t beg to win (uh-uh)

If I act right, I get paradise (paradise)

But freedom tastes better than your ice (so sweet)

I was blinded by the sex so tight (so tight)

Now I’m almost over you tonight (almost… over you)
