Watch it bouncin on the ground

Got my edges sweating out

Turn it up extra loud

(Oh ohhh)

Ya tonight we stepping out

Been a minute since I found

Someone who could hold it down...

(Oh ohhh)

What you really talking bout?

I been sending dirty pics

Hope they make it to the cloud

(Oh ohhh)

Watch it bouncin on the ground

Got my edges sweating out

Ba - bouncin on the ground

Ba - bouncin on the ground

(Oh ohhh)

Ba - bouncin on the ground

(Oh ohhh)

Cuban links, all the gold on my neck...

Shining, brighter than a spotlight

Might intimidate ya

Dont, Ima see you later

Calling me, all of these hoes on my neck

Lately, I dont even call back

Might intimidate ya

Dont, Ima see you later

Ba - bouncin on the ground

(Oh ohhh)

Ba - bouncin on the ground

Got my edges sweating out

Turn it up extra loud

Ya tonight we stepping out

Been a minute since I found

Someone who could hold it down...

What you really talking bout?

I been sending dirty pics

Hope they make it to the cloud

Watch it bouncin on the ground

Got my edges sweating out

Ba - bouncin on the ground

Got that magic touch you can call me Midas

This is what its like when you're on my list

Shoot, don't miss

Love it how it feels when were just vibing

Dont fight it

Cancelled all my plans, all the side chicks

I know what I want so come try this

Baby read my lips

Let me make your night, top it off with a kiss

Eyy, yeah

Watch it bouncin on the ground

Got my edges sweating out

Turn it up extra loud

Ya tonight we stepping out

Been a minute since I found

Someone who could hold it down...

What you really talking bout?

I been sending dirty pics

Hope they make it to the cloud

Watch it bouncin on the ground

Got my edges sweating out
