Small chick with a fat ass

Did I say that out loud, let me backtrack

I know my game ain't that bad

Have you ever made out with a gap ad?

And girls want what they can't have

So I don't text back when the screen flash

You love me? You mean cash

Need a friend you can fuck, I can be that

Crush girls now, couldn't last year

Oh, you like me now, well that's weird

Last year you were chillin' with lil wayne

Now you wanna pretend like my feelings is still the same?

My work is my playtime

I need you to understand and to stay fine

Do this and I just might wife you

Let me poke you ma, raichu

Fuck your life

I don't really think I drank enough tonight

Lookin' at you, make me wanna fuck for life

Lame-ass dudes gon' suck tonight

But so are these girls, am I wrong or right?

Girl, do somethin' to me

Nah, baby, you way too hood for me

Y'all girls have never been good for me

Watch a nigga take over, mutiny

I wanna fuck with the lights on

Hey, girl, let a python slide on

Stay sick, infect me, lysol

I'm on the edge, they hopin' that I might fall

I make it work, I'm runnin' with a new crew

And we do dope shit you ain't used to

For me, by me, fuck fubu

This girl never heard of me, go and check YouTube

I got a house with a dope view

See the ocean, dope shit, you an '06, I'm an '02

But enough about high school

I'm gettin' laid, or I'm gettin' lied to

You my stand-in cameron, let me be your a-rod

You number one in the pack, based God

Should I say somethin' dumb to give us somethin' to fight about?

Never mind, lights out

I want the lights turned on

Show me how you do it

Show me what you doin'

I don't wanna lose

Have them lights turned on

Show me what you doin'

Show me what you do to me, me

Swag

2: 30 and we still makin' progress

Talkin' on Twitter to see where to go next

3: 30, man, where did the time go?

I'm chillin' with this asian chick I met in chicago

She look like the social network chick

Except for her ass is twice as thick, man

Just wanna bite that shit

Where the fuck did my license went?

I musta left it at the other place

I rent a loft downtown with a ton of space

Yeah, we doin' stupid shit, have stories when I'm older

But I don't wanna see pictures of us on vulture

Never thought about a year ago

I'm chillin' out with the friends at the super bowl

Things change like a motherfuck

That's why I wild out, keep the city up

Uh, I talk a lot about the girls in my songs

But you are different from the girls in my songs

Stop talkin' 'bout the girls in my songs?

If you don't like it, I can just take you home

More green than the top of these tree trunks

Leave your boyfriend here, 'cause he punk

She like: I'm not a slut, speed bump

By the way, what's your name?, 'cause we drunk

I want the lights turned on

Show me how you do it (we druuuunk)

Show me what you doin'

I don't wanna lose (we druuuuuuunk)

Have them lights turned on

Show me what you doin' (I'm drunk)

Show me what you do to me, me

I want the lights turned on

Show me how you do it

Show me what you doin'

I don't wanna lose

Have them lights turned on

Show me what you doin'

Show me what you do to me, me

I want the lights turned on

Show me how you do it (I got to get high)

Show me what you doin'

I don't wanna lose (I need to get high)

Have them lights turned on

Show me what you doin' (I got to get high)

Show me what you do to me, me (I got to get high)

I gots to get high

I need to get high

Uh, I needs to get high

Uh, I gots to get high
