See where we could be if we press fast forward
Just one more round, and you're down, I know it
Fill another cup up, feelin' on your butt, what
You don't even care now, I was unaware how
Fine you was before my buzz set in

See where we could be if we press fast forward
Just one more round, if you're down, I'm pourin'
Fill another cup up, feelin' on your butt, what

Girl, I know you feel good, just like you look
Couple more shots, you open up like a book
I ain't trippin' ('cause I'ma read ya)
Shawty I ain't trippin' (I just wanna please ya)
I'ma take a shot of Nuvo, shawty then you know
It's going down, we can go and kick it like judo (judo)
You know what I mean
Shawty got drunk, thought it all was a dream
So I made her say, "Ah, ah-ah"
Now she got her hand on my legs
Got my seats all wet in my ride (all wet in my ride)
All over my ride (all over my ride)
She look me dead in the eye, eye-eye
Then my pants got bigger, she already knew what to dig up
Had her lookin' at her boyfriend like, "Fuck that nigga"
Blame it on the juice
Got you feeling loose
Blame it on 'Trón
Got you in the zone
Blame it on the a-a-a-a-a-alcohol
Blame it on the a-a-a-a-a-a-a-a-a-alcohol
Blame it on the vodka
Blame it on the Henny
Blame it on the blue tap, got you feeling dizzy
Blame it on the a-a-a-a-a-alcohol
Blame it on the a-a-a-a-a-a-a-a-a-alcohol
Now to the ballers poppin' bottles with they Henny in they cups
Screamin', "Money ain't a thang", if it ain't, throw it up
In the sky (in the sky)
And hold your drinks up high (high)
And to my independent mamas who can buy they own bottles
If you lookin' like a model, when them broke fellas holla
Tell 'em, "Bye" (bye)
And hold your drinks up high
You can blame it on the Goose
Got you feeling loose
Blame it on 'Trón
Got you in the zone
Blame it on the a-a-a-a-a-alcohol
Blame it on the a-a-a-a-a-a-a-a-a-alcohol
Blame it on the vodka

Blame it on the blue tap, got you feeling dizzy
Blame it on the a-a-a-a-a-alcohol
