[English]

PUSSY TASTE SWEET LIKE IT'S TIRAMISU

IF YOU BRING YOUR FRIEND, BETTER BRING TWO

BREAK IT LIKE SOME STICKY GLUE

LET'S KEEP IT COOL AND BREAK IT DOWN

I'M ON THAT TIME, BAE

YOU AIN'T GOTTA CHECK YOUR WATCH, YOU KNOW

'CAUSE YOU'RE ON MY MIND, BABE

TELL ME THAT YOU THINK ABOUT ME

GIRL, I'M RIDIN'

I HEARD YOU BEEN DREAMIN' 'BOUT ME LATELY

LATE AT NIGHT, YOU KNOW I'M SLIDIN'

YEAH, CALL ME WHEN YOU NEED IT

YEAH, I'M DOWN, I'M STILL DOWN TO GET IT

IT'S WHATEVER, LIL' NIGGA, I'M LIT

BUT I'M DOWN, I'M STILL DOWN TO GET IT

I KNOW THAT IT'S BEEN A LIL' MINUTE

IN MY CITY, THIS SHIT GET WICKED

I BUY YOU A SIG, GET WITH IT

I'M SOILED HERE, DOWN IN HER KITTY

I'M SO IN HERE DOWN TO GET IT

SHE EATIN', SHE MIGHT GET A RING

THE TENS IN THE BACK LET IT BANG

YOU THOUGHT THAT IT RAINED

THIS SHIT RIGHT HERE PAIN, SHE SQUIRTIN'

SHE STEADY TAKIN' OFF MY FITTED

MY HANDS ALL OVER HER THROAT

SHE JUMPIN' A ROPE TO GO GET IT

YOU GOT ME DOIN' THE MOST

PUSSY TASTE SWEET LIKE IT'S TIRAMISU

IF YOU BRING YOUR FRIEND, BETTER BRING TWO

BREAK IT LIKE SOME STICKY GLUE

LET'S KEEP IT COOL AND BREAK IT DOWN

I'M ON THAT TIME, BAE

YOU AIN'T GOTTA CHECK YOUR WATCH, YOU KNOW

'CAUSE YOU'RE ON MY MIND, BABE

TELL ME THAT YOU THINK ABOUT ME

GIRL, I'M RIDIN'

I HEARD YOU BEEN DREAMIN' 'BOUT ME LATELY

LATE AT NIGHT, YOU KNOW I'M SLIDIN'

YEAH, CALL ME WHEN YOU NEED IT
