[English]

Won't you please?

Slow it down

I'm tryna talk to you, darling

Tryna walk with you, darling

Do you hear me?

And no-no-no-no-nobody can stop it

The love you got from me

And every time, I look out at my seat today

They chase, they flash they flash, yes

Tell me how you feel right now

'Cause all I wanna do is keep it real right now

I'm tryna beat it up

Beat Pills right now

Athletic in the sheets

I got skills right now

Red braids, with some red baby hair

Ballin' in that club, Ace of Spades, yeah

Pop that bitch and spray it like 'Raid'

Yellow diamonds on you like a glass of lemonade

QB, I'll throw it

Teeth white, Newports

I want knees, right choice

80 thousand dollar Birkin bag in the Porsche

I'm tryna fuck with you till we on life support

I'll split it with you if we get half of Michael Jordan

No toilet tissue, I shit on niggas 'cause life's short (facts)

No passport to go with me

I had to get deported

Please let go, and have a good time

Have a good, have a good time, yeah

Have a good, have a good time

Please let go, and have a good time

Have a good, have a good time, yeah

Have a good, have a good time

When you do things like this

And you set me free

How can anyone get tired?

When you do things like this

And you set me free

I think I just been inspired

Oh babe

Brand new chapter, if I read you?

She got every red bottom like a baboon

Hunnid' bottles in the club, real one room

Girl you gotta keep up with a boss move

King of the jungle, tycoon

Everybody thinking that it's a cartoon

We just wanna party, we back in the war room

Do you want some? No I don't sir

Tryna watch me balling, do you want money?

I'm just tryna turn up, tryna work something

Shawty suck the dick, but she wanna fuck it first

Hey Mister? You a rapper

Good hair, got a bad ass

Rich nigga, I like 'em ratchet

Fuck it up, throw it back

No shave, Brazilian waxed

Please let go, and have a good time

Have a good, have a good time, yeah

Have a good, have a good time

Please let go, and have a good time

Have a good, have a good time, yeah

Have a good, have a good time

When you do things like this

And you set me free

How can anyone get tired?

When you do things like this
