Focused, I'm focused
She got a body like that
I ain't never seen nothing like that, ah-ah
Like a fantasy in front of me, I-I-I

I think she foreign, got passports
Mi amor started slow, got faster
She gon' work some more, work some more
No stopping her now, no stopping her now

Verse 3
She said it's her first time
I think she might have lied
Feels so good damn, and I don't know why

Got me twisted, but still I gotta have it
Explosive, explosive (I could still smell her perfume)
It's not hard to notice, that I'm open
Hypnotised by the way she moves

Bridge
Tattoos, piercings and she just learned to twerk
She ain't got a heart or a ass, just her brains, gotta ask
'Cause her ass on a learning curve
And she love to earn the verb, I mean burn the word
That's only legal with a doctors note
Real deep pockets like a doctors coat
Stay fitted like Diddy, hair back tryna rock the boat
She the first mate wanna rock the boat
She never forget to ride like a bicycle
She like planes, trains, chains with icicles
It goes, it goes her, blank, blank, and rock and roll
She say "I know, honey bunny that's a funny thing"
Thots twerk for the goodfella
She money dan' with the money team, ra!

Oh no no, oh no no
She's confident
You can tell by the way she walks in the room
