This that rap god shit, nigga

I rip every one of these mothafuckas down, ayy

Rah, rah, rah

Rah, rah

Closed eyes, see things

Fire up, tweaking

You in my freak dreams

You in my freak dreams

Bad bitch, you dig that

Get stacks, drive cars, whip out

Bitch out, tits out

Oh shit, my dick out

Can she suck it right now?

Fuck, can she fuck right now?

I done asked twice now

Can you bring your price down?

Lil Boosie with the wipe down

A little woozy but I'm nice now

What the fuck right now?

What the fuck right now?

What the, what the fuck right now?

What if we fuck right now?

What if we fucked right in the middle

Of this mothafuckin' dinner table?

What if we fucked at this Vogue party?

Would we be the life of the whole party?

Shut down the whole party

Would everybody start fuckin'?

Would everybody start fuckin'?

Would everybody start fuckin'?

They don't want nothin'

You mothafuckas livin' like half of your level, half of your life

I smack her on her ass if she ghetto, I ain't gon' lie

We be in the bathroom fuckin' like "Baby, don't get too loud!"

I can, I can see it, yeah

Hey, I want it right now

Ball on them niggas, get heated and shot down

You get hit with the pie now

Rolls with killa money nigga get by now

Right now, right now

I'm with niggas that have been to Versailles now

Side now, slide down

...
