Here's to a good guy, he hooked it up

Said if I was in NY, I should look you up

I, first time I'd ever saw you

And you text nothing like you look

Here's to the gay bar you took me to

Bitches, nigga, all the bitches in the neighborhood wanna fuck you, nigga

He told me

I used to fuck with all of 'em

Yeah, I ain't got bitches no more

That shit, Jasmine fucking wrecked my heart

I don't even know how to even feel about b-
