[English]

All she needed was some (all she needed was some)

All she needed was some (all she needed was some)

All she needed was some (all she needed was some)

All she needed was some (all she needed was some)

All she needed was some (all she needed was some)

All she needed was some (all she needed was some)

All she needed was some (all she needed was some)

All she needed was some

All she needed was some

At a Clippers game on the courtside (side)

Watch a nigga shoot like a 4-5 (five)

They mad at me, too, I got more fire

When these bitches see you, "Go home, Roger" (go home, Roger)

Tia and Tamera in my bed, I'm a smart guy

I ain't fucking with you niggas like apartheid (nah)

Hits on my list, check my archive

I'm something so immaculate

Instead of asking what's happenin' rather blastin'

Jackson 5 in the back of an Acura, acting blacker

Than a Bernie Mac, two Charlie Murphys and Akon

The girls that you brought man, where are they from?

Where are they from? We were playin' PlayStation

Why you standin' there? Say some', girl say some'

No, this ain't a vacation, this is my house, my house

All she needed was some (all she needed was some)

All she needed was some (all she needed was some)

All she needed was some (all she needed was some)

All she needed was some (all she needed was some)

All she needed was some (all she needed was some)

All she needed was some (all she needed was some)

All she needed was some (all she needed was some)

All she needed was some

All she needed was some (all she needed was some)

All she needed was some (all she needed was some)

All she needed was some (all she needed was some)

All she needed was some (all she needed was some)

All she needed was some (all she needed was some)

All she needed was some (all she needed was some)

All she needed was some (all she needed was some)

All she needed was some (all she needed was some)

All she needed was some

Bought a new bath (bath), 8K, nigga

Wanna take shots? (Shots) AK, nigga

When I ball, I'ma ball King James, nigga

Uncle Ben in my hand, make change, nigga

And I'm out of this world like Tang, nigga (Tang, nigga)

That's a space bar, man, I hate y'all

You only come around when you wanna play pool on my hot tub

Ice cream paint job in the garage

I had a ménage, and murdered the vag'

But, afterwards, it was awkward as fuck

'Cause I'm nervous as fuck and could not get it up

I-I-I-I, I need a minute, cold water to the face

I-I, I couldn't finish, got the Uber from her place

On my porch smoking vapor, hit with the Sunday paper

Listening to the neighbors

...

All she needed was some (all she needed was some)

All she needed was some (all she needed was some)

All she needed was some (all she needed was some)

All she needed was some (all she needed was some)

All she needed was some (all she needed was some)

All she needed was some (all she needed was some)

...

All she needed was some

...

All she needed was some

...

All she needed was some

All she needed was some

...
