Verse 1

"I know what we will be doin' in here, you want me to stay 'til the morning
I know just what you be doin' in here, you call me whenever you horny
Let me come through if I'm doin' it here, I'm goin', I'm goin', I'm goin'
Ok and I love how you doin' it, take you down and each time that I'm screwin' it
Oh, ok, and I'm lovin' your face, fuck you good, put you in your place
Lamborghini, used to ride, I was speedin' off
Gettin' head while I'm drivin', I'm geekin' off
Oh my god, he move like a reaper, huh, she a bad lil' jawn, better keep her, huh"

"Sippin' lean, not just regular mud (hm-hm)
Talkin' game to the bitch like a poet (hm-hm)
Flush some drugs way down in the toilet (hm-hm)
We been up on you hoes, and you know it (hm-hm)
Sippin' lean, not just regular mud (hm-hm)
Talkin' game to the bitch like a poet (hm-hm)
Flush some drugs way down in the toilet (hm-hm)
We been up on you hoes, and you know it"

Verse 2

"Need my Perky, my 30s, a zombie feenin'
And I'm way in the clouds when I'm codeine
Give that pussy to me, don't be borin'
And I'm divin' inside 'til the morning
Bet' not run up on zombie, that switch is singin'
And I'm playin' in that pussy until she creamin'
I won't jump in that coupe, it ain't foreign
I sold out every show when I'm tourin'"
