[English]
Tell me where to go when the party gon' closeAfter party shawty she don't wanna go home
Don't be on no funny shit like your elbow
Rich young nigga fuck her on a Van Gogh
I'm in downtown grabbin' dinner with some folks
Shawty wanna link so I told her let's go
Her roommate sleep so we gotta tip toe
20 somethin' baby but you got time to grow
She know I'm the one
She know I'm a stunna
Chevrolet shawty wanna do it with no rubber
Shake my dreads like uncle E40
Growin' my hair like I'm Aminé marley
After the after party
We head to the penthouse lobby
Shawty wanna go ahead and call me
I'm from the five zero with a three
Tell me where to go when the party gon' close
After party shawty she don't wanna go home
Don't be on no funny shit like your elbow
Rich young nigga fuck her on a Van Gogh
Tell me where to go when the party gon' close
After party shawty she don't wanna go home
Don't be on no funny shit like your elbow
Rich young nigga fuck her on a Van Gogh
This ain't no Van Gog this is a Van Gogh stupid
Shawty double gawk and she really go stupid
Two hand twist, oh woah, woah, woah
Like I said before she's a pro, oh, oh
I like shakes with my fries
And summer nights in your ride
And please don't stare at me high
I'm too high for your high
You know you're really in my top ten
You number one 'cause you on ten
Tattoo on your lower back
I'm Juvenile so I make the pussy Nolia clap
Ya gold chains used to stack now they overlap
This the afterparty we gonna have to go and run it back
(Fuck her on a Van Gogh)
(Fuck her on a Van Gogh)
(Fuck her on a Van Gogh)
(Fuck her on a Van Gogh)
(Rich nigga a Van Gogh)
