[English]

I might

Empty my bank account

And buy that boy with a pipe

Buy that boy with a pipe

I might, I might

Empty my bank account

And buy that boy with a pipe

Buy that boy with a pipe

I might

...

Do you slide on all your nights like this?

Do you try on all your nights like this? (I might)

Put some spotlight on the slide

Whatever comes, comes through clear

Do you slide on all your nights like this?

Do you try on all your nights like this? (I might)

Put some spotlight on the side

And whatever comes, comes through clear

All this jewelry ain't no use when it's this dark

It's my favorite part, we see the lights, they got so far

It went too fast, we couldn't reach it with our arms

Wrist on a wrist, a link of charms, yeah

Laying, we're still a link apart

It's like we could die here all young

Like we could dye hair all blonde

If we could see in twenty twin

Twice we could see it 'til the end

Put that spotlight on her face (spotlight)

Put that spotlight on her face (ah, yeah)

We gon' pipe up and turn up (pipe up)

We gon' light up and burn up (burn up)

Mama too hot like a (like what?)

Mama too hot like a furnace (furnace)

I got a hundred G's in my Goyard (G's)

My diamonds gon' shine when the lights dark (shine)

You and I take a ride down the boulevard (yeah)

And your friends really wanna break us apart

Good lord

(Offset!) Good gracious

Starin' at my diamonds while I'm hoppin' out a spaceship

Need your information, take vacation to Malaysia (Info)

You my baby, the paparazzi flashin' crazy

She swallowed the bottle while I sit back and smoke gelato

Walk in my mansion, twenty thousand painting, Picasso

Bitches be dippin', dabbin' with niggas like a nacho

Took off her panties, diamonds dancin' like Rick Ricardo

She havin' it, went to college, workin' on her bachelor

I know you got a past, I got a past, that's in the back of us

Average, I'ma make a million on the average

I'm ridin' with no brain, bitch, I'm out of it

Do you slide on all your nights like this?

Do you try on all your nights like this? (I might)

Put some spotlight on the slide

Whatever comes, comes through clear

Do you slide on all your nights like this?

Do you try on all your nights like this?

Put some spotlight on the side

And whatever comes, comes through clear (I might)

I might empty my bank account (ooh)

And buy that boy with a pipe (ooh, yeah)

Buy that boy with a pipe

I might, I might (slide)

Empty my bank account (ooh, slide)

And buy that boy with a pipe (slide, yeah)

(Do you slide on all your nights like this?)

Buy that boy with a pipe

I might
