[English]

Late at night

Kiss me in the mornin', late at night

Catch me drivin' down 405

Catch me and your girl, late at night

Side to side

Mustard on the beat, ho

Late at night

Kiss me in the mornin' or late at night

Long as you come through

I'ma make you come over and over

I'ma treat you like I'm 'posed to

You better never make no time for these niggas

'Cause when I ride, I'ma ride, ride with you

I can't fuck with nobody

I can't keep livin' like this, I can't

I tell her what it is, and I tell her what it ain't

She know that I been all in her walls like I paint

Told her at times I wanna give you trust, but I can't

I really got it out the mud, climbin' up the ranks

When they see me outside, I'm a high roller

I been on a global jet, but, nigga, I fly solo

And I got the Gucci splattered all on her knick-knacks

50 racks, I'm 'bout to break her off like a KitKat

And her purse got F's like the wheels on the 'Bach

I just fucked off a million, but I still got a sack

Shorty know that I'm the realest, she know I be speakin' facts

She know that I'm the same nigga that was pushin' 'Cat

She know I got the game, but I'm never gon' give it back

Every time that we fuck, I gotta run it back

Late at night

Kiss me in the mornin' or late at night

Long as you come through

I'ma make you come over and over

I'ma treat you like I'm 'posed to

You better never make no time for these niggas

'Cause when I ride, I'ma ride, ride with you

I told shorty never get too comfortable

I like to feel like the pussy untouchable

I like to feel like it's never goin' one way

I like to see your body drippin' Elliantte

I say I like the way I took ya on a wave

I had you screamin' my name out

Late at night

Kiss me in the mornin' or late at night

Long as you come through

I'ma make you come over and over

I'ma treat you like I'm 'posed to

You better never make no time for these niggas

'Cause when I ride, I'ma ride, ride with you

Ride, ride, ride, ride, ride

Ride, ride, ride, ride, ride

Ride, ride, ride, ride, ride

Ride, ride, ride, ride, ride

Ride, ride, ride, ride, ride

Ride, ride, ride, ride, ride

Ride, ride, ride, ride, ride

Ride, ride, ride, ride, ride
