Yea you nigga
Last show and it paid right
More chips I lace right
Panoramic I fade right
Thirty seats is in plain sight

Let me ball be a rose
No more seats for my foes
You ain't king you ain't goals

Til I'm in a jet pushing rolls nigga
Twelve rounds know the ropes nigga
Late night with the missus

Late night with the missus
Get home count some more digits
Yellow card yellow card
Young man finna fly

Bank card going prrr
I'm so street now I'm boulevard
Gang gang in a minibus
Get cash if you're one of us
Ambition is free
We just planing money trees
Cash flow overseas
Mink coat for the skiis
Now that I see who the boss is my nigga
They told me that I shouldn't fuck with the losses
They told me to look at the Porsches
The cribs know what the cost is
The seas food know the sauces
Money resources

Making money for my future seeds
Eat your little bit you take a seat
When I pay a nigga I never check a slip

'Cause all o y'all niggas a mini mes
I took y'all niggas to Mickie D's
So hlonipha this nigga please

They also mention their desire for beats and flows (music production and creativity), as well as their dedication to achieving dreams and goals.
The chorus repeats the phrase "late night with the missus," suggesting that the artist is focused on their grind even during late hours. They return home to count their earnings, represented by digits (numbers) on a bank card. The mention of a yellow card could symbolize caution or warning, while the line "young man finna fly" expresses the artist's determination to rise and succeed. They also reference the sound of a bank card going "prrr," possibly alluding to the consumption and spending associated with their success.

They mention being "so street now" but also occupying the boulevard, suggesting a level of success and recognition. The artist refers to their crew, "gang gang," and their pursuit of financial gain together. Their ambition is expressed through the imagery of money trees, cash flow overseas, and a mink coat for the ski slopes.

They assert their elevated status and suggest that they have surpassed their critics' expectations.
The final part of the verse touches on the artist's international aspirations, mentioning a gig overseas that is lucrative enough to support future generations. They emphasize their ability to provide for themselves and take a swipe at those who focus on petty matters. The artist rejects the idea of being defined by romantic relationships, asserting their independence and desire for a lavish lifestyle in places like South Beach.

[Chorus]
Three nights at the motel
Under streetlights in the City of Palms
Call me what you want, when you want, if you want
And you can call me names if you call me up
Three nights at the motel
Under streetlights in the City of Palms
Call me what you want, when you want, if you want
And you can call me names if you call me up
[Verse 1]
Feel like the least of all your problems
You can reach me if you wanna stay up tonight, stay up at night
Green lights in your body language
Seems like you could use a little company from me
But if you got everything figured out like you say
Don't waste a minute, don't wait a minute
It's only a matter of time for you-ooh-ooh-ooh to-ooh-ooh-ooh
Tell me now, 'cause I've been up for, I've been up for
[Chorus]
Three nights at the motel
Under streetlights in the City of Palms
Call me what you want, when you want, if you want (Want)
And you can call me names if you call me up (Call me up)
Three nights at the motel
Under streetlights in the City of Palms
Call me what you want, when you want, if you want
And you can call me names if you call me up (Ooh)
[Verse 2]
I can't fix each and all your problems
I'm no good with names and faces
She sent me naked pictures from her neck down to the waist
I get my feelings involved, she stopped returnin' my calls
Her flaws turned into walls and barricades
And I'm too far gone in all the wrong ways
And now every long day is a bad one
I can't make you call or make you stay or take you off the pedestal
So I get lost in modern music, watchin' movies, talkin' to the walls in my room
Walkin' through the halls in my head, just tryna make sure it all makes sense
I ain't made of money, maybe someday, you can take it from me?
I'm up too late thinkin' 'bout you in MIA for
[Chorus]
Three nights at the motel
Under streetlights in the City of Palms
Call me what you want, when you want, if you want (Want)
And you can call me names if you call me up (Call me up)
Three nights at the motel
Under streetlights in the City of Palms
Call me what you want, when you want, if you want
And you can call me names if you call me up (Ooh)
@blxss_speedd
Three nights at the motel
Under streetlights
In the city of palms
Call me what you want, when you want, if you want
And you can call me names if you call me up
Three nights at the motel
Under streetlights
In the city of palms
Call me what you want, when you want, if you want
And you can call me names if you call me up
Feel like the least of all your problems
You can reach me if you wanna stay up tonight
Stay up at night
Green lights in your body language
Seems like you could use a little
Company from me
But if you got everything
Figured out like you say
Don't waste a minute
Don't wait a minute
It's only a matter of time
For you-ou, to-oo
Tell me now
'Cause I've been up for
I've been up for
Three nights at the motel
Under streetlights
In the city of palms
Call me what you want, when you want, if you want
And you can call me names if you call me up
Three nights at the motel
Under streetlights
In the city of palms
Call me what you want, when you want, if you want
And you can call me names if you call me up
I can't fix each and all your problems
I'm no good with names and faces
Just send me naked pictures
From her neck down to the waist
Stuck in my feelings and vows
She stopped returning my calls
Flaws turn into walls and barricades
And I'm too fucked on and over both ways
And now every long day is a bad one
I can't make you call and make you stay
Or take you off the pedestal
So I get lost in modern music watching movies
Talking to the walls in my room
Walking through the halls in my head
Just tryna make sure it all makes sense
I ain't made of money
Maybe someday you could take it from me
I'm up too late
Thinking 'bout you
In MIA for
Three nights at the motel
Under streetlights
In the city of palms
Call me what you want, when you want, if you want
And you can call me names if you call me up
Three nights at the motel
Under streetlights
In the city of palms
Call me what you want, when you want, if you want
And you can call me names if you call me up

@Hidden_Trees
@@isashajira6251 truth be told, to me for a song to be great I have to feel the song (for lack of a better term) I personally resonate with rap/hip hop music so for this song which is part of neither of the aforementioned genres to touch me the way it has, leads me to feel as though this song will at the very least be a cult classic.
@jenyeah4787
It's abused in Ireland clubs, it's everywhere
@austinrus7590
I've heard this song in bars/club, on multiple social media platforms, a range of stores, TV shows and commercials ect. Kalik was right.. he's a witch! Burn him
