She take it slow then she wind it up
I'm showing love but that's not enough
Girl, you look fine like wine
Loan me some of your time
Tell me, can you be my friend?
I would like to tell you who I am
Baby, will you take me for who I am?
I'm a hold the deal up on my end
Bang, bang
I know you don't want no scrub
Baby I'm a boss, you should love that in me
She's like, "But my bestfriend was like
'Baby he's a dog, he was tryna holla at me'"
I know I can fuck up, another man can luck up
In the club, dancing on your pum pum
Baby I respect you, love you if you let me
I do not take you as a dumb dumb
I'll hold you slowly
Treat you like a trophy
Get so much of you, I OD
Can you pass me up like slowly
I'll wear you out like my Louie
Squeeze on you like my tooly
Stir you up like a smoothie
Clean you up like my jewelry
She take it slow then she wind it up
I'm showing love but that's not enough
Girl, you look fine like wine
Loan me some of your time
Tell me, can you be my friend?
I would like to tell you who I am
Baby, will you take me for who I am?
I'm a hold the deal up on my end
Bang, bang
If I get all on your back
Snap for me like I'm a pole
Baby, I'm a young Randy Moss
I can catch as long as you throw it
I just picked you up some roses and a lotus
I just picked up some spices from the posure
Just picked a new scent from Barney's, baby
You know I smell like I'm balling
You know I ain't used to one night
I can have you here in one flight, baby
It's just me and you and one bowl
They see us on this yacht, they gon' go crazy
Your friends know how much you love me
But they be still tryna fuck me
When it comes to them, I act like I'm rusty
Baby I won't lie, just trust me
She take it slow then she wind it up
I'm showing love but that's not enough
Girl, you look fine like wine
Loan me some of your time
Tell me, can you be my friend?
I would like to tell you who I am
Baby, will you take me for who I am?
I'm a hold the deal up on my end
Bang, bang
