[English]

She said to be continued, dot dot dot.

What's the problem? I just played it cool 'cause that's a lot, lot.

That's my problem.

She said, 'Yeah, that's cool, it's personal.'

So, let me hotspot that.

I just love the chase, I love the game.

I love the way you say my name.

Continue, dot dot dot.

What's the problem? I just played it cool 'cause that's a lot, lot.

That's my problem.

She said, 'Yeah, that's cool, it's personal.'

So, let me hotspot that.

I just love the chase, I love the game.

I love the way you say my name.

It's not a joke like knock knock.

She got the chat and whatnot.

And there ain't even no one here where she can flip and cop block.

No backseat driver, time has arrived to pull the damn lever.

Don't do God, but I'm a believer.

Stick me in the doghouse, golden retriever.

Let me have a breather, let me have a seizure.

Put me in a lockdown, both tests positive.

Now I can't leave her, that's the result.

Being an adult, Provo central, both go mental.

Open your mouth, please, time for a dental inspection.

Goodbye wisdom, stand indoors 'til your new United Kingdom.

Couple friends go ring them, bring them, bring them 'round, 'round.

YouTube friendly? Not.

Only now the penny drops.

Cola, ice and Henny, gosh.

Where's the day gone? Where's the night gone, baby?

YouTube friendly? Not.

Only now the penny drops.

Cola, ice and Henny, gosh.

Where's the night gone? Dot dot dot dot dot dot.

She said to be continued, dot dot dot.

What's the problem? I just played it cool 'cause that's a lot, lot.

That's my problem.

She said, 'Yeah, that's cool, it's personal.'

So, let me hotspot that.

I just love the chase, I love the game.

I love the way you say my name.

Continue, dot dot dot.

What's the problem? I just played it cool 'cause that's a lot, lot.

That's my problem.

She said, 'Yeah, that's cool, it's personal.'

So, let me hotspot that.

I just love the chase, I love the game.

I love the way you say my name.

Girl, I love the way you say my name, it's got that ring to it.

She like how I talk with body language, man, I been fluent.

2am, she on that dot dot dot like, 'What you been doing?'

Stressed out, man, I been through it, but she wanna get into it.

Short and thick, I'm into it, built like a brick house, 'bout to go flood this bitch, so you better insure it.

Keep the lights on, look in my eyes, I like to see what them lips doing.

She tryna make her classes, get her master's, but we been truant.

Skip school like the kids doing, skip school, f*ck a GPA.

Gonna bake my bread and eat my cake, f*ck up the bed, my sheets in flames.

She put my body on DOA, ayy.

We don't need a wake, get a hotel room, don't need a date.

Just make a mess and leave the place like, 'Damn, wouldn't wanna be the maid.'

She said to be continued, dot dot dot.

What's the problem? I just played it cool 'cause that's a lot, lot.

That's my problem.

She said, 'Yeah, that's cool, it's personal.'

So, let me hotspot that.

I just love the chase, I love the game.

I love the way you say my name.

Continue, dot dot dot.

What's the problem? I just played it cool 'cause that's a lot, lot.

That's my problem.

She said, 'Yeah, that's cool, it's personal.'

So, let me hotspot that.

I just love the chase, I love the game.

I love the way you say my name.

Full stop, stop.

Short back and sides, that's my mop chop.

Got strikers just like Klopp.

She said, 'Why don't we take our tops off?'

I say, 'Goody gumdrops, it pops off.'

Lock me out and I'm taking locks off.

Don't be a baby, where's your bottle top?

You take this, you'll be flying your chops off.

Trust me, guv'nors.

Fight, fight, I'm a goner.

Not guilty, your honour.

Can I get one large chips and doner?

Dot dot, no karma.

Yo fam, been a long time.

Ain't seen you since '08 Zafira.

Soon as she wants me then I don't wanna.

Wait there, bro, let me fix my collar.

Let me fix my T, got flavours, so I'm gonna bring like three.

Got neighbours coming like CID, no paper, so I better fix my P.

Enough dangers, you don't wanna be like me.

Ring, ring, yo, have you got a three times three?

I'm locked out, can anybody bring my key?

She spitting on my mic all night, alright, like...

Elliot's her favourite lockdown singer.

Dwayne's my Johnson, rock, I bring her.

Knocking on the door like knock down ginger.

Knocking on the back door, front door locked, yo, what did you want more?

Reach for the top drawer, bedside table, charge my cable.

Cain but Abel.
