Empty my bank account
And buy that boy with a pipe
Buy that boy with a pipe
I might, I might
Empty my bank account
And buy that boy with a pipe
Buy that boy with a pipe
I might
Do you slide on all your nights like this?
Do you try on all your nights like this? (I might)
Put some spotlight on the slide
Whatever comes, comes through clear
Do you slide on all your nights like this?
Do you try on all your nights like this? (I might)
Put some spotlight on the side
And whatever comes, comes through clear
All this jewelry ain't no use when it's this dark
It's my favorite part, we see the lights, they got so far
It went too fast, we couldn't reach it with our arms
Wrist on a wrist, a link of charm (oh yeah)
Laying, we're still a link apart
It's like we could die here all young
Like we could dye hair all blonde
If we could see in twenty twin
Twice we could see it 'til the end
Put that spotlight on her face (spotlight)
Put that spotlight on her face (ah, yeah)
We gon' pipe up and turn up (pipe up)
We gon' light up and burn up (burn up)
Mama too hot like a (like what?)
Mama too hot like a furnace (furnace)
I got a hundred G's in my Goyard (G's)
My diamonds gon' shine when the lights dark (shine)
You and I take a ride down the boulevard (yeah)
And your friends really wanna break us apart
Good Lord
(Offset!) Good gracious
Starin' at my diamonds while I'm hoppin' out a spaceship
Need your information, take vacation to Malaysia
You my baby, the paparazzi flashin' crazy
She swallowed the bottle
While I sit back and smoke gelato
Walk in my mansion, twenty thousand painting, Picasso
Bitches be dippin', dabbin' with niggas like a nacho
Took off her panties, diamonds dancin' like Rick Riccardo
She havin' it
Went to college workin' on her bachelor
I know you got a past, I got a past, that's in the back of us
Average, I'mma make a million on the average
I'm ridin' with no brain, bitch, I'm out of it
Do you slide on all your nights like this?
Do you try on all your nights like this? (I might)
Put some spotlight on the slide
Whatever comes, comes through clear
Do you slide on all your nights like this?
Do you try on all your nights like this?
Put some spotlight on the side
And whatever comes, comes through clear
I might empty my bank account (ooh)
And buy that boy with a pipe (ooh, yeah)
Buy that boy with a pipe
I might, I might (slide)
Empty my bank account (ooh, slide)
And buy that boy with a pipe (slide, yeah)
Buy that boy with a pipe
I might
The lyrics of "Slide" by Calvin Harris represent a mix of thrill-seeking, luxury, and love. In the first verse, the singer contemplates spending all their money to buy a boy with a pipe, which could symbolize their desire to purchase something luxurious and artistic to impress a love interest. The song's chorus plays around with the idea of living recklessly and spontaneously, sliding through your nights and taking risks, something the singer feels they might do. The secondary theme of the song is the problems that arise due to fame and fortune. The singer is aware that they have many material possessions of no use when it's dark, which may represent the struggles that come with being famous, such as lack of privacy and scrutiny of society.
Offset's verse is full of references to his personal life and talks about his aspiration to become a millionaire. He mentions that he and his partner have a past but that they are moving forward. He also talks about his expensive possessions, such as his diamonds and Goyard bag, alluding to his lavish lifestyle.
Overall, "Slide" is a fun, upbeat, and groovy track that expresses the emotions of building a personal connection while enjoying the finer things in life.

I might
I am considering doing something impulsively without regard for the consequences
Empty my bank account
Spend all my money until there is nothing left
And buy that boy with a pipe
Purchase a piece of artwork
Do you slide on all your nights like this?
Do you have fun and take risks on all your nights out?
Put some spotlight on the slide
Bring attention to and enjoy the fun times of life
Whatever comes, comes through clear
Things will happen as they may, but we should enjoy them while they last
All this jewelry ain't no use when it's this dark
Material possessions are meaningless when we cannot see them clearly
It's my favorite part, we see the lights, they got so far
The best part of life is seeing and experiencing the little moments of beauty
It went too fast, we couldn't reach it with our arms
Time moves quickly and sometimes we cannot fully grasp the moments we wish to hold onto
Wrist on a wrist, a link of charm (oh yeah)
Wearing jewelry to symbolize a shared bond or connection
Put that spotlight on her face (spotlight)
Make her feel special and highlighted
We gon' pipe up and turn up (pipe up)
We are going to have fun and get excited
Mama too hot like a furnace (furnace)
She is attractive and stunning
I got a hundred G's in my Goyard (G's)
I have a lot of money and can afford expensive things
My diamonds gon' shine when the lights dark (shine)
My jewelry will look its best in the darkness, when it stands out the most
And your friends really wanna break us apart
People may try to interfere with our relationship
Starin' at my diamonds while I'm hoppin' out a spaceship
Showing off wealth and luxury
Took off her panties, diamonds dancin' like Rick Riccardo
Her jewelry is glittering and shining
Do you try on all your nights like this? (I might)
We should take risks and have fun while we can
I might empty my bank account (ooh)
I am willing to take financial risks for enjoyment and pleasure
And buy that boy with a pipe (ooh, yeah)
I am willing to spend money on things that bring me joy

The color green really brings out the color green
@colewyatt5298
IKeelUZombieMan18 that's because the human eye picks out more shades of green than any other color. Facts
