[English]

Don't trip, I got you

I put ice on your wrist 'cause I want to, yeah

You're number one, and I'm cool with two

If it's next to you

No, no-no-no-no

No, no-no

I fuck with that

Wait, hold up

Dance like it's hopscotch

Got these bitches hot-hot

Everything they not-not (Ooh)

Rock and I'm leanin'

High for no reason

Pretty, ooh, she gleamin' (Ooh)

I'm LeBron, you miss Savannah

Get you gift just like I'm Santa

Number one like I'm "Havana"

She my little "Tiny Dancer," oh

But she only do that for me, yeah

Don't trip, I got you (Hey, hey)

I put ice on your wrist 'cause I want to, yeah

You're number one, and I'm cool with two

If it's next to you

No, no-no-no-no

No, no-no (Yeah, yeah)

(Yeah, yeah)

I like your skin and your hair and the way that you talk

You a bad little thing, got the step in your walk

OGs in the game, they be in love with my "Star"

I know I haven't been a lover, I'll be here for a while

There's some insecure people tryna mess with the plans

You help me focus on myself, help me focus on the fans, oh, yeah

When it all falls down

Don't trip, I got you (I do)

I put ice on your wrist 'cause I want to, yeah

You're number one, and I'm cool with two

If it's next to you, yeah

No, no-no-no-no

No, no-no (Yeah, yeah)

(Yeah, yeah)

Haha, we gotta let that shit rock out, haha

Ooh, yeah-ooh, woah

...

Ahh, I'm just playin'
