♪

(She wants to go to Bali, but the cops are on my tail)

(I want a Kaylee, but she doesn't want me)

When she goes out, they don't get in her way

Nor does she have anyone to please her or buy her things

I don't get upset if someone makes a move

She wants my attention, but just like you, I have plenty to spare

If I don't look at her, she gets mad, she's like a bomb

Boom-boom-boom-boom, boom-boom

It's moonlight; she lights up and doesn't even need to dress up

From a distance, it's obvious you're being intentional

Just like the peach on your dress that adorns you

Show off, you know what I want

And I promise you I'm being sincere

You know, just like candy

And I'm Mr. Forget-all-the-pain

When I touch your body, I lift it up

If I rhyme for you, you blend completely into my voice

And I already know, you have other suitors

I know (So what?), that me being interested is just, I don't know (I don't know)

She wants to go out with me, she posts it in a reel (Uh-huh)

I don't compete, I admit it (Ah), I don't play games

Sometimes I'm out, but I'm always in my lane

Since I was a kid, the promise was the hustle (OG)

I missed a chance, I have to go for it, cousin (Cousin)

She wants to go on a trip (Trip)

Shorty, I'm a rogue ) (-drin)

She wants to flash it (Flash)

She has someone else to forget me (Me)

She wants to go to Bali (Bali), but the cops are on my tail (On my tail)

I want a Kaylee (Kaylee), but she doesn't want me (Yeah)

Trip

But I'm a rogue

Flash

I'm not here for you

I want a Kaylee, but she doesn't want me
