J-88 Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

Girl wanna lock this down
Cause she fuck with the sound
Put you in the mood right now
Girl let’s go pound for pound
I can feel the fire
Can’t hide her desire
Neither mine won’t try yeah
She sweet just like Papaya
Baby got that framework (sexy body)
Show me how that thang twerk (drop that on me)
And it’s the way you move the things you do
Do what you do yeah, do what you do yeah
She put me in the mood
She go to work what’s the interview
When I’m inside get an inner view
When I’m inside it’s a swimming pool
I know if I feel it you feel it too
Throw that ass in a circle I’m in the loop
Throwin like that is considered rude
Runnin from me while I’m in pursuit
Dash dash for me
Be bad for me
Turn to Kobe on the team don’t pass on me, yeah
She wanna put on a lock
She think I got women in stock
Don’t care if I’m Jordan or not
She tell me to shoot my shot
Thinkin bout tying the knot
Put on a show without props
She throwin it at me like rocks
I wanna watch it like fox
And we go pound for pound
Yeah a round or maybe two
I love the way she moves
like a shooter in the school
I know that...
Girl wanna lock this down
Cause she fuck with the sound
Put you in the mood right now
Girl let’s go pound for pound
I can feel the fire
Can’t hide her desire
Neither mine won’t try yeah
She sweet just like Papaya
Baby got that framework (sexy body)
Show me how that thang twerk (drop that on me)
And it’s the way you move the things you do
Do what you do yeah, do what you do yeah
She got a frame that I can’t forget
Attitude on her that can’t be fixed
Naughty ain’t make it on Santas list
But she slay like Santas whip
I’ll go out my way for it
MIA for it, yeah
Leaving em but I stay for it
Make her bae for it
Only bad for me, yeah
Sit that ass on me
Heard yo sex drive crazy
Don’t crash on me, yeah
Shake it like salt I’ll be pepper
I’ll hit your spot like a leopard
Bury my face in yo treasure
Then I’ll have jewelry forever
And I’ll hold you close like a dresser
Past life must have been a professor
Nothin about her is regular
And she aim to please like a begger
And we go pound for pound
Yeah a round or maybe two
I love the way she moves
Like a locker in the school ay
Girl wanna lock this down
Cause she fuck with the sound
Put you in the mood right now
Girl let’s go pound for pound
I can feel the fire
Can’t hide her desire
Neither mine won’t try yeah
She sweet just like Papaya
Baby got that framework (sexy body)
Show me how that thang twerk (drop that on me)
And it’s the way you move the things you do
Do what you do yeah, do what you do yeah
