[English]

I don't like no whips and chains, and you can't tie me down

But you can whip your lovin' on me, baby

Whip your lovin' on me, baby

I'm vanilla, baby, I'll choke you, but I ain't no killer, baby (I don't like no whips and chains)

She 28, telling me I'm still a baby (and you can't tie me down)

I get love from Detroit like Skilla Baby (but you can whip your lovin' on me, baby)

And the thing about your boy is (whip your lovin' on me, baby)

I don't like no whips and chains, and you can't tie me down

But you can whip your lovin' on me, baby (that's right, that's right)

Whip your lovin' on me, baby

Young J-A-C-K, AKA Rico, like Suave, Young Enrique

Speaking of AKA, she's a alpha

But not around your boy, she get quiet 'round your boy, hold on (shh)

Don't know what you heard or what you thought about your boy

But they lied about your boy, goin' dumb, and it's some' idiotic about your boy

She wearing cheetah print

That's how bad she wanna be spotted around your boy

I don't like no whips and chains

And you can't tie me down

But you can whip your lovin' on me, baby

Whip your lovin' on me, baby

I'm vanilla, baby, I'll choke you, but I ain't no killer, baby (I don't like no whips and chains)

She 28, telling me I'm still a baby (and you can't tie me down)

I get love from Detroit like Skilla Baby (but you can whip your lovin' on me, baby)

And the thing about your boy is (whip your lovin' on me, baby)

I don't like no whips and chains, and you can't tie me down

But you can whip your lovin' on me, baby

Whip your lovin' on me, baby

Young M-I-S-S-I-O-N-A-R-Y

You sharp like barbed wire

She stole my heart, then she got archived

I keep it short with a b-, Lord Farquaad

All the girls in the front row (ayy)

All the girls in the barricade (ayy)

All the girls that been waiting all day, let your tongue hang out, f- everything (ayy)

If you came with a man (yeah, yeah)

Let go of his hand (let go of that -)

Everybody in the suite, kicking up they feet, stand up, b-, dance

I don't like no whips and chains (I see you)

And you can't tie me down (and all the guys in the back waiting for the next track)

But you can whip your lovin' on me, baby (cut your boy a lil' slack)

Whip your lovin' on me, baby (it's young Jack)

I'm vanilla, baby, I'll choke you, but I ain't no killer, baby (I don't like no whips and chains)

She 28, telling me I'm still a baby (and you can't tie me down)

I get love from Detroit like Skilla Baby (but you can whip your lovin' on me, baby)

And the thing about your boy is (whip your lovin' on me, baby)

I don't like no whips and chains, and you can't tie me down

But you can whip your lovin' on me, baby (that's right, that's right)

Whip your lovin' on me, baby

I don't like no whips and chains, and you can't tie me down

But you can whip your lovin' on me, baby

Whip your lovin' on me, baby
