[English]

Okay, I pull up, hop out at the after party

You and all your friends, yeah, they love to get naughty

Sippin' on that Henn', I know you love that Bacardi (Sonny Digital)

1942, I take you back in that 'Rari

Okay, I pull up, hop out at the after party

You and all your friends, yeah, they love to get naughty

Sippin' on that Henn', I know you love that Bacardi

1942, I take you back in that 'Rari

Switchin' lanes and I'm seein' lights, you know I watch the curb

Smokin' weed, you know I'm gettin' high, you know it calm my nerves

Trappin' hard, pumpin' non-stop, the bag I had to earn

You can try, but you might fail again, you know you never learn

Came in with a bottle, I was trippin'

And I took a couple shots and now I'm dizzy

It got me burning up, burning up

Insides burning up, burning up (yeah)

Okay, I pull up, hop out at the after party

You and all your friends, yeah, they love to get naughty

Sippin' on that Henn', I know you love that Bacardi

1942, I take you back in that 'Rari

Okay, I pull up, hop out at the after party

You and all your friends, yeah, they love to get naughty

Sippin' on that Henn', I know you love that Bacardi

1942, I take you back in that 'Rari

Uh, poppin' meds (uh), out in the meadows (yeah)

She like a little red (uh), in her stilettos (yeah)

Anytime you live (uh), out in the ghetto (yeah)

You try to duck the feds (uh), they need to let go

Came in with a bottle, I was trippin'

And I took a couple shots, it got me dizzy

It got me burning up, burning up

Insides burning up, burning up (yeah)

Okay, I pull up, hop out at the after party

You and all your friends, yeah, they love to get naughty

Sippin' on that Henn', I know you love that Bacardi

1942, I take you back in that 'Rari

Okay, I pull up, hop out at the after party

You and all your friends, yeah, they love to get naughty

Sippin' on that Henn', I know you love that Bacardi

1942, I take you back in that 'Rari

Okay, I pull up (okay, I pull up...)

Okay, I pull up (okay, I pull up...)

Okay, I pull up (okay, I pull up...), hop out at the after party
