Yea
Yep
I understand yo goin through some things with this nigga
This nigga ain't worth it
Get with a real nigga
Take you away from all of this shit
Fly you around the world
Make love to ya in 50 states, ya know I mean?
Treat you like you’re supposed to be treated
Alright
You deserve better baby
Fuckin’ with this clown
Pack your bags and we can leave now
Girl don’t let him bring you down
You deserve better baby
Let a real nigga bring you wealth
These lames are bad for your health
You can do bad all by yourself
You deserve better baby
Last time was the last time
Yea
That nigga gon’ make you cry
Yea
He playin’ you bass line
Yea
But you don’t need the drama you too fine
You need to fly no doubt
I can fly you just holla’ out
Your destination I know the route
He a fallen’ plane girl bail out
He the type of nigga gon’ bore you
I’m the type of nigga gon’ spoil you
I can getcha lost in those islands girl
Eatin’ lobster crabs and live royal
You need you a ride to die
You mash the gas I steer
He can buy you flowers girl
I put rose gold in your ear
Patron shots over seas
Make you forget your fears
You look like you need savin’
Superman right here
Girl I know that he hurt you
I got the kinda’ sex that heals
These niggas out here fraudulent
Girl let me keep it real
Between love and hate it’s a thin line, yea
And he done crossed that like a thousand times, yea
You need to make up your mind, yea
You should be somewhere getting a tan line
Baby girl you ain’t gotta work
I’ll make shoppin’ your career
We can sail the world together yachts docked on them piers
Stole, your heart like a hold up and you ain’t getting’ it back
Sexin’ you in like 50 states my chain all on your back
Girl you been lookin’ for a real love and I got what they lack
You a butterfly, a good girl, don’t fall in none of these traps
All I wanna do
Is see you happy baby (what would it take)
That’s all I wanna do (just say the word)
Is see you smiling baby
So I’m turn life into a hotel
Check you into your suite
Show you all the finer things
