Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

Lights out, countdown
Want you to take it off, right now
This the countdown
About to wear you out
I just wanna get up in it like, yeah

Lights out, yeah
Countdown, yeah
Want you to take it off, right now
This the countdown (yeah)
About to wear you out (2 Chainz)

Lights out, take your shirt off
My phone ringing for some work, bird call
Then I take your girl, and swerve off
Drop it in, load off
Facial expression, it started off with a text
And the text ended up special
And now you next to a blessing
It's me, especially when I'm looking in your direction
If love is a drug, I'm arrested for your possession

Lights out, countdown
Want you to take it off, right now
This the countdown
About to wear you out
I just wanna get up in it like, yeah

Lights out, yeah
Countdown, yeah
Want you to take it off, right now (yeah)
This the countdown
About to wear you out (yeah)
(Fuck it up, fuck it up)

24/7, 365 when I'm in them thighs
I memorize what I did when I'm inside
That in and out, that up and down
That side to side
I spray paint them walls, I vandalize
Crab legs by candle light (tell 'em)
I break 'em open, like I break you open
Break you off, countdown, I'm taking off
You a hard worker baby, you should date a boss
5 4 3 2 1, I'm taking off
Gone

Lights out, countdown
Want you to take it off, right now
This the countdown
About to wear you out
I just wanna get up in it like, yeah

Lights out, yeah
Countdown, yeah
Want you to take it off, right now
This the countdown
About to wear you out

Please don't make it easy
'Cause I'ma want you, all night
And you got something to teach me
And baby when I get it, I'ma get in it
And I'ma make love, love

Lights out, countdown
Want you to take it off, right now
This the countdown
About to wear you out
I just wanna get up in it like, yeah

Lights out, yeah
Countdown, yeah
Want you to take it off, right now




This the countdown
About to wear you out
