[English]

I done caught my tempo, baby, I don't miss

Baby momma in a Mercedes on the daily

They named me Mr. Ricch

Shake my hand and I might take you on a trip

Pretty teeth, smooth skin, nice toes, you just my type

Usually I don't take her home first night

But for you, I just might

I know you know, these bitches can't fuck with you

On your worstest day when you come around my way

Fine as hell to say the least (say the least)

I could fuck you all day (all day)

Ain't no rushin' on my side, I promise I'll behave

When I call (when I call)

Treat me like 9-1-1

Pipe you up 'cause I'm like that

Really like that (yeah-yeah-yeah)

Pull up, put out your fire

I'm the fireman (yeah-yeah-yeah)

Ooh, you should've never told me you was a freak

I had you runnin' to the edge of the sheet

Strokin' deep, Gucci link, you got Pucci

This real sex, that's how it's supposed to be

Oil you up, lotion me

Knock out dick, I earned the belt

Too much of this is bad for health

When I finish, I know you goin' to sleep

Water, water, water, I need water

Treat me like 9-1-1 when I call you

Water, water, water, I need water

Treat me like 9-1-1 when I call you

When I call (when I call)

Treat me like 9-1-1

Pipe you up 'cause I'm like that

Really like that (yeah-yeah-yeah)

Pull up, put out your fire

I'm the fireman (yeah-yeah-yeah)
