And I know, I know what you like Everything you love Baby you love Hov She wants that old thing back She want those Heroin tracks She likes me She fiends for me nightly She leans for me Morning, she rush for my touch This is about lust Cold sweats occur when I'm not with her My presence is a must- must- must- Bonita Applebum, I gotta put you on If I didn't when we cutting, the feeling would be too strong In any form, I'm giving you sweet dreams That Sugar Hill, she call me her sweet thing That Black Rain that take away your pain Just for one night, baby, take me in vein Now that feelin' got you trippin' You no wanna feel no differently Said lust has got you itchin' Nose wide open and it's drippin' I know what you like, I am your prescription I'm your physician, I'm your addiction I am so dope Like Louboutin's with the red bottoms You gotta have 'em, you glad you got 'em Like every color Giuseppe's, your guilty pleasure is me It's so much fun, you shun therapy Although it never be, the feeling is fleeting Shopping's like coppin', you constantly need it I'm never around, you constantly seek it You'll never be down, I know where your peak is 9 1/2 weeks is better than 12-steps I keep tryin' to remind you to keep tellin' yourself Now your conscience is interfering, like "Better yourself!" Like you better get help But when that medicine's felt? We're back together Don't ever leave me Don't ever let 'em tell you that you'll never need me My China White, 'til we D.O.A Its Montega forever, baby, lets get away How could you leave me? I thought that you needed me! When the world got too much and you pleaded with me-- Who helped you immediately? How speedy of me! How could you deny me so vehemently? Now your body is shaking, trying to free it of me And your soul is in control, trying to lead it from me And your heart no longer pledge allegiance to me Damn, I'm missing the days when you needed the D!
