[English]

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

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)
