Oh, mamacita

Come, let's get more familiar

I like your style

I like your style

Hey, mamacita

Come, let's stay 'til mañana

I like your style

I like your style

Yh

Keep it hundred in the fast lane, so high

Like Amber Rose without the foreplay, four fives

We gettin' money, baby, no shame, hold tight

You take a selfie, girl, you're so vain, don't lie

You know I love it, baby, no way, oh my

You know I like the way you rotate, close thighs

Coco Cubano in your Dolce, all lies

It's not my lady, but it's okay, I know why

You're super wavy, baby

Baby, you're my cup of tea

And I really wanna be in your company

Any good thing comin' is gon' come to me

When I pop, pop in your dungarees

And again, 20 and 0, undefeated

The batty so big, my squad don't believe it

And haters gonna diss like Drizzy, like Chris like

Trippin', this is it life, now I'm singin' this like

Oh, mamacita

Come, let's get more familiar

I like your style

I like your style

Hey, mamacita

Come, let's stay 'til mañana

I like your style

I like your style

Yh

We grew up learning things the hard way, close ties

You only make it if you grow free, don't die

Remember startin' up my own wave, won't lie

I used to bus it, baby, no train, no sky

Now when you bus it baby throw shade on those guys

You know I liked you back in '08, '09

You used to call me on my house phone, late night

My mum complainin' but it's okay, it's your time

Protecfully, my baby

Baby, you're my cup of tea

And I really wanna be in your company

'Cause the whole industry is tryna come for me

Dirty pictures on the 'Gram, save some for me

Hotter than 81 degrees

Yeah, none of them girls got nothin' on your steez

Yeah and haters gettin' dissed like smiley with a kiss like

Scrollin' through your pics like, got me singin' this like

Oh, mamacita

Come, let's get more familiar

I like your style

I like your style

Hey, mamacita

Come, let's stay 'til mañana

I like your style

I like your style

When you come through, you make me feel nice

Yeah she shine so bright like the daylight

When she turn up it stop like a red light

Yeah, yeah (mamacita!)

Yeah you give me some

Anyway you want, anyway you like

Ready when you're ready, got the Remy on the side

Say she goin' in, say she wanna vibe

Yeah, yeah (mamacita!)

Oh, mamacita

Come, let's get more familiar

I like your style

I like your style

Hey, mamacita

Come, let's stay 'til mañana

I like your style

I like your style

Girl I wanna meet you in my next life

My girl, in the dark you're my sunlight

For you, I don't want the street life

Yeah yeah, yeah yeah (mamacita!)

With you I wanna live a good life

If we have kids, what would it be like?

But tonight let's live and enjoy life

'Cause I'm underworld my whole life

Love me lady, love me yeah, oh I (yeah yeah)

Tinie, Wizzy

Love me lady, love me yeah, oh I
