Huh

Huh

Huh, huh, huh

Huh, huh

Huh, huh, huh, huh, huh

I paid a couple bands for the kicks, huh

I sent a couple bands to the hoe, huh

I paid a couple bands for my fit, huh

Just popped three pills, tic-tac-toe, yeah

I get high as shit, huh

Introduce her to fashion, she ain't even been fly like this, yeah

Go too brazy, need a straight jacket, uh, I never miss

We go way back, now I'm in the Maybach with her, that's how I get

She know I ain't tryna fall in love, that's my lil' shit

She yours any other day, but tonight, she my lil' bitch

Yeah, shawty wan' fuck my bro, ayy, shawty wan' fuck my clique, ayy

I got your bitch on her knees, when she done, she got a lisp

Pull out the ones right off the rip

Niggas on nothin', they ain't on shit

Wish you could see all this shit through my lens

Walk in the store, I just dropped your advance

Yeah, real life, real life

I been on shit you don't realize

Mile high club, lust airlines, yeah

A mile in my shoe, couldn't wear mines

I been on my time, fuck a deadline

I been on that shit, couldn't deny

The bitch gotta realize, realize

These niggas gotta realize, realize

Huh, huh, huh, huh, huh

I paid a couple bands for the kicks, huh

I sent a couple bands to the hoe, huh

I paid a couple bands for my fit, huh

Just popped three pills, tic-tac-toe, yeah

I get high as shit, huh

Introduce her to fashion, she ain't even been fly like this, yeah

Go too brazy, need a straight jacket, uh, I never miss

We go way back, now I'm in the Maybach with her, that's how I get

She know I ain't tryna fall in love, that's my lil' shit

She yours any other day, but tonight, she my lil' bitch

Huh, 'K-47 .223, this bitch on automatic

Shawty got Opium tatted, huh, huh, she a fanatic

Pull up in that BP Cadillac, she thought it was her grandad

Niggas ain't havin' no motion, huh, huh, huh, I get active

.308's attack 'em

You get scared, go to church, nigga, see the pastor

I'm the type to shake your hand and fuck your hoe after

He a swag stealer, I got moves like Jagger

Shawty took her clothes off, we got all flesh

All my hoes got loadouts, they sendin' clips, oh yeah

Put that hoe in JPG, she in all mesh

She ask which one look better and I bought her all sets

Yeah, I bought it all

They send swag to my house, ain't gotta go to the mall

Dunkin' on your hoe, I could've went pro in basketball

I'm a shark in the fish tank, huh, yeah, I'm Jaws

Ain't goin' Van Cleef until I get underneath your draws
