[English]

Feel the bass, feel that drum

Get a taste of my tongue

I'm the best, are you dumb?

Fuck me 'til I say (oh)

Serve him good with no tip

Really wet, so don't slip

Want a glass of this drip (hey)

Look, call me an Uber, or I pull up the Air

Drunk off the Menace, no drivin', it's bad

I feel so good when I start actin' bad

Dance on a cop, I keep shakin' my ass (ass, ass, ass)

Ecstasy without drugs

Next to me in this club

We don't wanna be bored (hey)

We just wanna have fun (oh)

Nights like this (like this)

Weed and the liquor I mix (like this)

Like when I lick my lips (like this)

Might just dip my hips

Nights like this (like this)

I won't hit the brakes (like this)

Might just catch a case (like this)

We can raise the stakes

Nights like this (like this)

They wanna study my moves (like this)

They wanna hang with the crew (like this)

They can't do what I do

Nights like this (like this)

Need another shot, I'm drunk (like this)

Stay up 'til the sun (like this)

We know how to have fun (like this)

Freaky and nasty

I'm havin' a threesome with Keisha and Tammy (yeah, yeah)

We in Miami, the pussy is sweet

Gotta meet in the candy (yeah, yeah)

I'm in the moment, we livin' for now, we ain't gettin' no younger

Do what I wanna, have sex with a stranger, I gave him my number

Get to movin', he sayin' he miss me

Acting clueless, he callin' me Brittany

Lips are puckered, he comin' to kiss me

Not a sucker but he wanna lick me

Ecstasy without drugs

Next to me in this club

We don't wanna be bored (hey)

We just wanna have fun (oh)

Nights like this (like this)

Weed and the liquor I mix (like this)

Like when I lick my lips (like this)

Might just dip my hips

Nights like this (like this)

I won't hit the brakes (like this)

Might just catch a case (like this)

We can raise the stakes

Nights like this (like this)

They wanna study my moves (like this)

They wanna hang with the crew (like this)

They can't do what I do

Nights like this (like this)

Need another shot, I'm drunk (like this)

Stay up 'til the sun (like this)

We know how to have fun (like this)
