[English]
Ooh-ooh, ooh, oh, yeahI know you wanna be the main one
I got a whole list of names on the way
I ain't fuckin' with the same one
Ooh, I love when you drop it down low
But you're still high maintenance
Yeah, and you gotta get your hair done
I'ma go and hit Tae up (bet I hit Tae up)
It's like God did your makeup (oh, yeah)
Meet me down in Jamaica (yeah)
I might drown how her wave up (wave up)
If you like her we could gang up (gang up)
I swear to God, it's what we prayed for
Ooh, pipe down, you too dangerous
Yeah, you got horns on your halo (halo)
So horny, what a angel
A blessing inside my bed (my bed)
Girl, you could be honest with me (with me)
You ain't gotta be toxic with me (with me)
You don't need no other options but me
'Cause you might just be my main one
I got a whole list of names on the way
I ain't fuckin' with the same one (I ain't fuckin' with the same one)
Ooh, I love when you drop it down low
But you're still high maintenance (still high maintenance)
Yeah, and you gotta get your hair done
I'ma go and hit Tae up (I'ma go and hit Tae up)
It's like God did your makeup
Ayy
I got two cribs, meet me at the other one (other one)
Black, white Maybach and a grey one (grey one)
When I'm at the bank, only time I chase somethin' (chase somethin')
Gotta play for the Lakers, the way I lay up (ooh)
Up five days straight but we ain't take nothin' (take nothin')
Yeah, I got a few, you wanna take somethin'? (Take somethin')
High factory Patek, this ain't a stainless (big Patek)
500K my appraisal (ooh, ooh, ooh)
Yeah, Chief Keef, she got that glow up (she glow)
Yeah, Cartier Bangel, she 'bout to blow up (big blow)
Put on all of the ice when she show up (show up)
Yeah, diamond chain tangle, she got four of 'em (four of 'em)
I know you wanna be the main one ('bout to get more of her)
I got a whole list of names on the way
I ain't fuckin' with the same one (fuckin' with the same one)
Ooh, I love when you drop it down low
But you're still high maintenance (ooh, yeah)
Yeah, and you gotta get your hair done
I'ma go and hit Tae up (gotta hit Tae up)
It's like God did your makeup (baby)
She say she wanna be my main one, sunshine when the rain come
Wanna be my ride or die, she wanna ride in lane one
I told her, "We could flame one"
She told me she could bring some
I asked her where it came from, she say we got the same plug
I said, okay, alright, alright, you lookin' like the wifey type
You lookin' like tonight's the night
You lookin' at me like the light
Them pussy lips just need a kiss, that pussycat need tiger stripes
Your pussy lookin' like a fist, the dick look like, it like to fight
Say she wanna family man, a fire man, a famous man
And if she's high maintenance, tell her I can be her maintenance man
Wanna be my main girl, wanna be in Wayne's world
She on me like James Earl, don't tell her I ain't hers, Tunechi
I know you wanna be the main one
Yeah, I got a whole list of names on the way
I ain't fuckin' with the same one (I ain't fuckin' with the same one)
Ooh, I love when you drop it down low
But you're still high maintenance (still high maintenance)
Yeah, and you gotta get your hair done
I'ma go and hit Tae up (gotta hit Tae up)
It's like God did your makeup
Girl, you could be honest with me (honest with me)
It ain't gotta be toxic with me (toxic with me)
You don't need no other options but me (options but me, ooh-ooh)
Girl, you could be honest with me (honest with me)
It ain't gotta be toxic with me (toxic with me)
You don't need no other options but me
'Cause you might just be my main one
