[English]

I think I know

I'll touch that fire for you, I do that three, four times again

I testify for you, I told that lie, I'd kill that bitch

I do what all of them around you scared to do, I'm not

Long as you juggin' out here for me, I got it

Mobbin', schemin', lootin', hide your bodies

As long as you dreamin' 'bout me, ain't no problem

I don't got nobody, just with you right now

Tell the truth, I look better under you

I can't lose when I'm with you

How can I snooze and miss the moment?

You just too important

Nobody do body like you do

I can't lose when I'm with you

I can't just snooze and miss the moment

You just too important

Nobody do body like you do, you do

In a droptop ride with you, I feel like scarface

Like that white bitch with the bob, you'll be my main one

Let's take this argument back up to my place (my place)

Sex reminds you I'm nonviolent, I'm your day one

We ain't have shit yet (have shit yet), it was magic, yeah

Smash and grab shit, yeah

Nasty habits take a hold when you not here

Ain't a home when you not here

Hard to grow when you not here, I'm sayin' (yeah, yeah)

I can't lose (I can't lose) when I'm with you

How can I snooze and miss the moment?

You just too important

Nobody do body like you do

I can't lose when I'm with you

How can I snooze and miss the moment?

You just too important

Nobody do body like you do, you do

Main one ridin'

How you frontin' on me and I'm the main one tryin'?

How you blame it on me and you the main one lyin'?

How you threatenin' to leave and I'm the main one cryin'?

Just tryna be your everything

Main one ridin'

How you frontin' on me when I'm the main one lyin'?

How you threatenin' to leave when you the main one cryin'?

I was tryin' to deal with you the main one cryin'

I can't lose when I'm with you

How can I snooze and miss the moment?

You just too important

Nobody do body like you do

I can't lose when I'm with you

How can I snooze and miss the moment

You just too important

Nobody do body like you do, you do

Oh, whoa

Oh-oh, oh
