[English]

I understand, your body wants it

I know your thoughts, oh, you 'bout it, 'bout it

You're a big girl and it's your world

And I'ma let you do it how you (wanna, girl, I'll)

Ride with it, ride with it

I know you know, I know you wanna ride with it

Don't be shy with it, I'll supply with it

I got you, girl, oh, I got it, girl

With your Louis V bag, tats on your arms

High heel shoes make you six feet tall

Everybody wants you, you can have them all

But I got what you need

Girl, I got your bag, I got it all

Hold your drink, baby, don't you fall

Be there in a minute, baby, just one call

You don't gotta ask me

You always come to the parties (oh-oh-ah)

To pluck the feathers off all the birds (ah-ah)

You always come to the parties (ride, ride)

On your knees

I will not beg you, please

Girl, pick up them shoes, I'll race your ass up all them stairs

Just grab a room, I swear no one will (interfere)

Girl, bring your friends if you want, we can share

Or we can keep it simple, baby we can just

Ride with it, ride with it

I know you know, I know you wanna with it

Don't be shy with it, I'll supply with it

I got you, girl, oh, I got it, girl

With your Louis V bag, tats on ya arms

High heel shoes make you six feet tall

Everybody wants you, you can have them all

I got what you need

Girl, I got your bag, I got it all

Hold your drink, baby, don't you fall

Be there in a minute, baby, just one call

You don't gotta ask me

You always come to the parties (oh-whoa)

To pluck the feathers off all the birds

You always come to the parties

On your knees

I will not beg you, please

I will not-

...

Ride with it, ride with it

I know you know, I know you wanna line with it

Don't be shy with it, I'll supply with it

I got you, girl, oh, I got it, girl

Don't you lie with it (lie), lie with it (lie)

I know you know, I know you wanna (wanna, wanna, wanna)

Oh-oh-ah (oh-oh-ah), oh-oh-aah (whoa-ooh)

I got you, girl, oh, I got you, girl

(Aah, aah) ooh-ooh (aah, aah)

...

Oh, I got it, girl, oh, I got it girl (aah, aah)

...

(Aah, aah)

I think I'm fucking gone, rolling on this floor (aah, aah)

Messing up your carpet, I'll get on it after four more (aah, aah)

Sessions of the strong on your floor (aah, aah)

Should've fucking rolled, but I fucking pulled

Feeling like a million bucks before

I walked through this door when I walked through your door

Can't believe I made it but I made it that's for sure

For sure, your lovin' I need more, I need yours

She ain't looking for that unconditional

What the fuck these bitches on? They want what I'm sitting on

They don't want my love, they just want my potential

Fuck it, I'll be sipping on this, baby, living off bliss

Got me drowning in your love, got me drowning in the mist

Gimme right attention or I'll start drowning from my wrist

Baby, if you knew the feeling I would give to

You, oh, you (aah, aah)

You, oh, you (aah, aah)

'Cause I got it, girl, oh, I got it, girl (aah, aah)

With me, with me (aah)

Whoa, you, oh, you (aah, aah)

Whoa, you, oh, you (aah, aah)

Oh, I got it, girl, oh, I got it, girl (aah, aah)

With me, with me (aah, aah)

I, I got a brand new girl, call her Rudolph

...

She'll probably O.D. before I show her to momma

All these girls tryna tell me she got no love

But all these girls never ever got her blowjob

Ringtone on silent

And if she stops, then I might get violent

No call is worth stopping

So, momma please stop calling

We can play all night

It just takes one night

To let me fucking prove

This feeling I would give to

You, oh, you (aah, aah)

You, whoa, you (aah, aah)

Whoa, I got it, girl, yea, I got it, girl (aah, aah)

With me, with me (aah)

With me, whoa, you (aah, aah)

Oh, you, oh, you (aah, aah)

Oh, I got it, girl, yea, I got it, girl (aah, aah)

With me, with me (aah, aah)

Aah, oh-whoa

Aah, oh-oh-oh

Oh, I got it, girl

...
