[English]

Club lights, we fight every night (every night)

Baby, I don't wanna do that (I don't wanna do that)

Your type, jeans tight, dirty Sprite (dirty Sprite)

She like, "How the fuck you do that?" (How the fuck you do that?)

I can't be there all the time (all the time)

But you know I gotta prove that (know I gotta prove that)

I can't leave here any time soon (nah)

I got somethin' to do, yeah

Walk away as the door slams (door slams)

You got blood on your poor hands (poor hands)

I just wanted to help, now I'm goin' to hell

Walk away as the door slams

...

I know you wanna FaceTime, baby, I have Samsung

When I met your mom, she told me I was handsome

You told me I'm sexy, do you still think that?

You told me you loved me, do you still think that?

3 a.m., climbin' through your window

Ounce of the kush, blowin' smoke out your window

You're a thousand miles away, I snort a thousand lines

Step inside the club, cameras flashin' in my eyes

3 a.m., climbin' through your window

Ounce of the kush, blowin' smoke out your window

You're a thousand miles away, I snort a thousand lines

Step inside the club, cameras flashin' in my eyes

Club lights, we fight every night (every night)

Baby, I don't wanna do that (I don't wanna do that)

Your type, jeans tight, dirty Sprite (dirty Sprite)

She like, "How the fuck you do that?" (How the fuck you do that?)

I can't be there all the time (all the time)

But you know I gotta prove that (know I gotta prove that)

I can't leave here any time soon (nah)

I got somethin' to do, yeah

Walk away as the door slams (door slams)

You got blood on your poor hands (poor hands)

I just wanted to help, now I'm goin' to hell

Walk away as the door slams
