[English]

I wish it was just us in this -

But they can't trust us in this -

'Cause I'm tryna - in this, huh

Let's keep it on a hush-hush in this -

I told her she's so pretty

And she just blushed in this -

She clutch-clutchin' my huh

I'm adjusting my huh

She husky like mush-mush in this -

You must be nuts rushin' this

Slow it down like macaroni

I know it sounds like Zack and Cody

This life's sweet, I mean high-key

And you might be

Something that isn't quite but slightly

Resembles wifey, I'ma need this nightly

You say you know all about Pisces

I disagree, but call it out nicely

I'm all on you, fallin' out my seat

I wish it was just us in this -

But they can't trust us in this -

'Cause I'm tryna - in this, huh

Let's keep it on a hush-hush in this -

I told her she's so pretty

And she just blushed in this -

She clutch-clutchin' my huh

I'm adjusting my huh

She husky like mush-mush in this -

You must be nuts rushin' this

Slow it down like macaroni

I know it sounds like Zack and Cody

This life's sweet, I mean high-key

Yeah

Two hands on my 'fro, starin' into my soul

Leg up on that chair, hand on that arm, tongue in that throat

I don't play with my pen, leave it on a good note

Keep you all on your toes, leave the TV off for this show

You a softy, marshmallows and black coffee

My mouth cold from this blue frosty

My back blown 'cause you blew it off me, like, "Uh"

You want me or what? Prove that with yo' huh

Spend some for this huh, who said that ain't love?

And this bass hittin' real backhanded

Insatiable, I'm like Pac-Man

We go back further than backgammon

Hey, Jackman, I mean, Jack Rabbit

I'm runnin' while I look back at it

Fans really some fanatics

They cooked, kinda like-

We cookin' - up like black magic

Backs to 'em, paper talk, spoke fax to 'em

Makeup on for these pop features

I'm throwin' - to some bad music

Yeah, I'm that stupid, like, duh

You mad cute, I wan' -

Don't ice box me, let's touch

I wish it was just us in this -

But they can't trust us in this -

'Cause I'm tryna - in this, huh

Let's keep it on a hush-hush in this -

I told her she's so pretty

And she just blushed in this -

She clutch-clutchin' my huh (my huh)

I'm adjusting my huh (huh)

She husky like mush-mush in this -

You must be nuts rushin' this

(She lonely)

We can just be friends like Musiq Soulchild

And Bobby Valentino, you can slow it down

We got all these Temptations like the group from Motown

And I'm player like the crew that came up through my hometown
