Don't put me in a box now

I'm by myself, yeah, I'm on lockdown

Sometimes you gotta find

What's wrong, yeah, what's right

It's been a long road here coming

Blue hunnids, I'm thumbin'

And I can split the whole damn thing with my woman

What's yours is mine

I'll say it again, what's yours is mine

Don't leave the house, baby

You gotta swing my way

But don't believe the hype, babe

I'm always shady

So don't believe the hype, babe

I might lie sometimes

Don't believe the hype, babe

We're going 'til five in the morning

I caught you yawning, ah yeah

I guess it can't get no easy

I know you need me

I guess we're gon' ride your way

Do you a favor, yeah

I know it can't get no easy

I know you need me

Round two, three shots, I'm catching up

She off the Henny and tequila, no catching her

The way she move her body, man, I swear I'm attached to her

Don't make me sing this here song

And I mean, I made it out on my own

You call me later when you're all alone

Ooh-ooh, yeah

Ooh-ooh, yeah

Ooh-ooh

We're going 'til five in the morning

I caught you yawning, ah, yeah

I guess it can't get no easy

I know you need me

I guess we're gon' ride your way

'Fore I do you a favor, yeah

I know it can't get no easy

I know you need me

I gotta live my life

But I swear I'm seeing too much

And I'm thinking 'bout where I am

And I know just where I was

I had decided to take you back to the H to keep you there ballin'

You done learned some language on me

I wanna go falling

You've been posted at the Post Oak and I got evidence

Pulled off my car, I left my residence

At the gaslight, lemme smell this shit

At the red light inhaling it

If the cops behind, ain't tailing it

And the way that I pull up late

I might as well sell this shit

No out weighing my love, ain't no scaling it

She wanna take a dose

Go inhale the shit

She wanna take a dose

Go inhale the shit

We're going 'til five in the morning

I caught you yawning, ah yeah

I guess it can't get no easy

I know you need me

I guess we're gon' ride your way

Do you a favor, yeah

I know it can't get no easy

I know you need me

I don't wanna go to sleep, baby

I just wanna ride around town

I don't wanna go to sleep, baby

I just wanna ride around town
