Verse 1
I don't like no whips and chains, and you can't tie me down
But you can whip your lovin' on me, baby
Whip your lovin' on me, baby
I'm vanilla, baby, I'll choke you (I don't like no whips and chains)
But I ain't no killer, baby (and you can't tie me down)
She twenty-eight, tellin' me I'm still a baby (but you can whip your lovin' on me, baby)
I get love from Detroit like Skilla Baby (whip your lovin' on me, baby)
And the thing about your boy is
I don't like no whips and chains, and you can't tie me down
But you can whip your lovin' on me, baby (that's right, that's right)
Whip your lovin' on me, baby

Verse 2
Young J-A-C-K, AKA Rico, like Suave, Young Enrique
Speakin' of AKA, she's a alpha
But not around your boy, she get quiet 'round your boy, hold on (shh)
Don't know what you heard or what you thought about your boy
But they lied about your boy, goin' dumb and it's some' idiotic 'bout your boy
She wearin' cheetah print, that's how bad she wanna be spotted 'round your boy

Verse 3
Young M-I-S-S-I-O-N-A-R-Y
You sharp like barbed wire
She stole my heart, then she got archived
I keep it short with a bitch, Lord Farquaad
All the girls in the front row, ayy
All the girls in the barricade, ayy
All the girls that been waitin' all day, let your tongue hang out
Fuck everything, ayy
If you came with a man (yeah, yeah)
Let go of his hand (let go of this shit)
Everybody in the suite, kickin' up they feet
Stand up, bitch, dance
