[English]

Don't make me say it twice

I'm a pretty bitch but I'll bite ya

First class flight to Mumbai

Rockstar life for the night, yeah

Diamonds on my wrist sitting nice

If you wanna play do it right, yeah

First class flight to Mumbai

Rockstar life for the night, yeah

Make a boy disappear like it's magic

Everything that I wear is dramatic

Can't lie I'm addicted to the action, fashion

I'll put you on

Let it rain

Open up the sky

We can levitate

Never been so high

If you wanna taste

Let your tongue get tied

Give me everything

And I'll make you mine, yeah

Don't make me say it twice

I'm a pretty bitch but I'll bite ya

First class flight to Mumbai

Rockstar life for the night, yeah

Diamonds on my wrist sitting nice

If you wanna play do it right, yeah

First class flight to Mumbai

Rockstar life for the night, yeah

Melanin in my skin look like honey

Everyday is a dream when you love me

Baby you can feel the rush when you touch me

Lucky to show me off

Let it rain

Open up the sky

We can levitate

Never been so high

If you wanna taste

Let your tongue get tied

Give me everything

And I'll make you mine, yeah

Don't make me say it twice

I'm a pretty bitch but I'll bite ya

First class flight to Mumbai

Rockstar life for the night, yeah

Diamonds on my wrist sitting nice

If you wanna play do it right, yeah

First class flight to Mumbai

Rockstar life for the night, yeah

Yeah, yeah
