[English]

We had the type of nights where morning comes too soon

And nothing was the same

Watch me, going out of the way

When I should've went home

Only time of the day I get to spend on my own

I was trippin' off how I used to sleep at ya crib

Should drive by right where you live, and pick you up on the way

We ain't spoke in so long, probably put me in the past

I can still get you wet and I can still make you laugh

You should call into work if that ain't too much to ask

I could pour you up a drink and we can burn something

Come through, come through, come through, come through

Girl you know we got thangs to do

Girl you know we got thangs to do

So get your ass in that car and come through

Come through, come through, come through, come through

Girl you know we got thangs to do

Girl you know we got thangs to do

So get your ass in that car and come through

...

Last night I brought DOA to the studio

They already had a stage and a booty pole

It's supposed to be a lot of hard working going on

But who the fuck can focus with this twerkin' going on

Someone put a order in for a chicken

Told my girl to order in, I need the kitchen

Yeah they know I got the hook-up, they just wait on me to cook up

Baby I heat up the stove, you do the dishes ya know?

Rap game, crack game, ain't that different ya know?

Last album had it booming something vicious ya know?

And ya know I need ya back in my life

Girl ya know ya got that, know ya got that thing that I like

Girl you got that thing for real

When I was on a mission to make it

Who used to sleep on the floor with you when you lived in the basement?

Who else got all the things you need at 4am when it's late?

I always pour you up a drink and let you burn something

Come through, come through, come through, come through

Girl you know we got thangs to do

Girl you know we got thangs to do

So get your ass in that car and come through

Come through, come through, come through, come through

Girl you know we got thangs to do

Girl you know we got thangs to do

So get your ass in that car and come through
