Tanasia, tanasia

If you're not from queensbridge, then you must be from Asia

Never knew a love like this before, who said you was just a whore?

Where you walk, love, I kiss the floor

Truck jewels, big stacks, mustard boots

Construction on her feet, she eat duck confit

I shoot up the club whenever I hit it raw

If she have a baby by me, I'ma love her more

Brings food to the crib when I'm laying low

And she know how to roll weed, but don't smoke

Chinese massages, wifey, no side-chick

Go sight-seeing with the God

Playing cards with my dad, frying chicken for the mob

Simply lemonade, raspberry for the wash, gosh

She know who tryin' to rock her to sleep to get to me

Give 'em the side eye when she see 'em in the street

Her brother locked up, he doin' ten up in the beast

He's short, he comin' home and she hyped for his release

Fly her to Hollywood, watch flicks from nollywood

Like hydraulics, she ride the wood

Tanasia, tanasia

If you're not from queensbridge, then you must be from asia

Never knew a love like this before, who said you was just a whore?

Where you walk, love, I kiss the floor

Tanasia, tanasia

If you're not from queensbridge, then you must be from asia

Never knew a love like this before, who said you was just a whore?

Where you walk, love, I kiss the floor

She edu-ma-cated, she said she related to the asian

Ethic persuasion, the sex is amazin'

Never bought her a birkin, my night-time nurse

May be more like a surgeon, nice on the eyes, I put that work in

Back when she was on the same block that I would service

Said, it's straight, we need a place up in Jamaica estates

And she was like, oh no, in a silky kimono

Said the streets, the snakes, plus governor cuomo

Flashes out the window, people takin' my photo

She knew I wasn't gon' be no husband, I be a no-show

Leave her standin' at the altar, bro, I couldn't falter

Plus that nigerian blood mixed in her culture

Body like she evel knievel, on the soul cycle

Lookin' like janet, dance like michael

She knew I wasn't cut from the cloth to be a czar

Now she hit the town with the legal escobar, she's my

Tanasia, tanasia

If you're not from queensbridge, then you must be from asia

Never knew a love like this before, who said you was just a whore?

Where you walk, love, I kiss the floor

Tanasia, tanasia

If you're not from queensbridge, then you must be from asia

Never knew a love like this before, who said you was just a whore?

Where you walk, love, I kiss the floor

We fresh outta the met gala, express power

Exude the essence of best-dressed for the next hour

Toast glasses, velvet ropes, no trespassin'

Hella smoke, our section has the best fashion

Picture us laughin', how ticklish the money has us

Like little kids, but the difference is we'd much rather

Be ghost, back in the crib, some avocado toast

Laid-back, we choose that over amalfi coast

Chillin', startin' to think about children

And bringin' 'em in the world with kim jong illin'

But since I'm feelin' what I'm feelin' and she feelin' what she feelin'

I'm willin', she's willin', we buildin'

Every man originated in asia

One continent, africa was a part of asia

Here we are, in this western civilization

I believe that we was destined to make it

Tanasia, tanasia

If you're not from queensbridge, then you must be from asia

Never knew a love like this before, who said you was just a whore?

Where you walk, love, I kiss the floor

Tanasia, tanasia

If you're not from queensbridge, then you must be from asia

Never knew a love like this before, who said you was just a whore?

Where you walk, love, I kiss the floor
