The girl is asking for her light to be turned on

Flavor, daddy, flavor

She licks herself if I touch her with lemon

Flavor, daddy, flavor

The girl is looking for her light to be turned on

Flavor, daddy, flavor

She licks herself if I touch her with lemon

Flavor, daddy, flavor (uh-huh, what?)

Go on, shorty, and turn your story on

(Daddy, who are you?) Daddy-Daddy, money-money

The killer flow, breaks the speakers

The spice for dembow, Yankeeman cooks it up

Boom-boom, the flavor plays for the girl

Crazy to let her have the oatmeal cream

She knows which party is the best

She knows Yankeeman makes it hit, W

Baby, come and hop on the little horse

Who are you? (Your sweet treat)

It's just that I want a piece of that popsicle

Who are you? (Your sweet treat)

Flavor, daddy, flavor (what?)

I was calling you exactly to dance

Tonight I’m gonna numb you

Tonight I’m gonna crush you

And if you fall asleep, baby, I’ll give it to you

(Tra-tra) just about having fun

(Tra-tra) just about smoking

(Tra) dancing, I’m gonna kiss you

And the crew is ready in case we have to hustle

Baby, come and hop on the little horse

Who are you? (Your sweet treat)

It's just that I want a piece of that popsicle

Who are you? (Your sweet treat)

Baby, come and hop on my little horse

Who are you? (Your sweet treat)
